When treated right in the cellar this exceptional best bitter by bath ales is unrivaled, rich malt aroma, full bodied and a hint of hop, this pint is right when you have a lengthy aftertaste of cream, with a dash of sweetness, if this doesnt come through send it back and demand a refund as they have not done it justice!

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Handpull at The Cockpit. Slightly hazy copper pour with a lasting one finger mottled creamy beige/tan head. Floral aroma sadly almost overwhelmed by buttery diacetyl - no alcohol. The butter/paper takes a backseat to malty cocoapuffs and floral-herbal bitterness. Thick and chewy, a tad flat, finishes malty as hell. Overall okay, can’t shake that butter from my palate.
