Nov 21, 2007 Biscuity malt and goldings in aroma. pours copper with a little foamy beige head. classic ’bitter’ flavour, with a little more sweetness in the malt/hop balance than typical. the overall effect is pleasing and a little nutty. hard to pick out the mutligrain notes but a fine traditional bitter and another good pint from Batemans.

Nov 8, 2007 Bottle from Aldi. Possibly served to cold. Aroma is typical of batemans thier house yeasty sweetish fruityness, with quite a bit of malt character. Taste is again very malty and fruity, im stugling to find the likes of oats and wheat but can get some rye off the sweetness.
