I really like the look of this beer, poured with a beautiful fluffy head and a deep red colour, almost like a light red wine. Can’t pick much up on the nose, though, just a little bit of malt and that’s it. But the taste is excellent and really refreshing, nice deep flavour of dark malts and hops, slightly dry finish. Really nice bitter, good for everyday drinking.

Dec 2009, Barnstormer: Brown 500ml bottle, poured into a vase shaped pint glass. Deep, dark mahogany red/brown body with a thin biege head on top. Sweet malt aroma, bicuits and molasses, brown toast and thick cut marmalade. The sweet malts rule the roost in the flavours, but not as sweet as in the smell, there is a subtle bitterness from the hops which stops the malt from taking over completely. A good rich depth to this beer, a bit more alcohol and some spices, it could be turned into a very good winter warmer. Impressed, as I always am with Bath Ales, wish I could get their cask beers up here in Shropshire.
