| Fabulous dark and very distinctive. This is a wonderful beer having a lovely aroma and a rich full bodied flavour. A little strong for a session ale but always worth a try when you find it at the bar. |

| This is a slightly sweet dark ale with bags of flavour. I wasn't expecting much from this beer but it was surprisingly tasty. A must try! |

| Definately a beer that has stood the test of time well. A smooth malty start with a rich, strong bitterness developing that remains to the end. Hints of fruitiness throughout. A classic. |

| Exceptional beer of its style. Proper English traditional full ruby red coloured ale, distinctive in flavour. Don't come much better when served right. |

| This must be the flagship of the Bateman portfolio. The archetypel strong English bitter. Russet mahogany in colour with a large white loose head. Nice aroma of banana bread straight out of the oven. Robust smack of malt full on in the fantastic mouthfeel. Pale malt complexes give a wide range of full flavours. Juicy maltloaf with a hint of overipe banana lead to a aromatic dry hop bite in the aftertaste. Bitter sweet finish ends with slight dry vanilla note with vinous fruits. A true English classic. |

| Good strong dark ale. Rich flavour but slightly heavy going. Well worth a try. |
