Bateman Vintage Ale 2013 release

Today choice is another beer brought back from xmas time





 
Appearance:

Mid chestnut with largeoff white head that rapidly disappears

Aroma:

Acorns and over ripe soft fruits with a touch of earthiness and port.

Taste:

Tannins come first the a very sweet flavour comes to the fore which fades to a more earth tannins flavour the a touch of pepper hops at the least. The finish is not strong and mainly sweet acorns and some fire from the alcohol.

Overall:

Another nice winter warmer but nothing special, not a great fan of oak/barrel aged beers and this continues with this one.

7.0/10
