2.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask at the Coach & Horses, Billericay. Pours a lovely amber with a thin but sustained off-white head. Good lacing down the glass. Aroma is slightly malty and a faint burnt sugar smell. Palate is medium bitter, with a little buttery-ness. Taste is faint caramel malt, quite watery with a rubber aftertaste which is a little unpleasant. Quite a bland session bitter, not sure what makes it festive other than the pump clip!

3rd December 2010
Pigs Ear. Clear brown beer. No real head. Lihgt dry palate. Sweet malt, sweet bubblegum and a hint of spice. Sweet malt finish. A bit messy.

’Celebrating the Christmas Season’ it says, and in true Bateman’s style, this involves a picture of a plump lady showing her bottom. Fnarr. I preferred the simpler more innocent days of the Signs of the Zodiac series. Amber with a white head. Sweet butterscotch malt aroma. Big oily malt taste with bread and sweetness. Mid bitter finish. Nearly there.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2010. Amber no head and no condition. Some Bateman appley yeast. Ok if a bit of green apple.
