Beartown Brewery Bear Ass

Another work leaving session led me to The Sir Christopher Hatton for an evening on the beer. As luck would have it, my usual tipple there: Timothy Taylor's Landlord Bitter went off halfway through the evening, leaving me with a limited choice for a substitute. Browsing along the pump clips, I noticed a contender. A beer I had yet to try. This beer was called Bear Ass (4.0% abv)..... WTF????

Being the "Accidental Ticker" that I am, I decided to give it a go. First impressions, this beer is darker than I was expecting and is bordering on brown porter in colour. First taste is dark sweet crystal, followed by a cloying sweetness which smothers any hop bitterness that claims to be there. Not a particularly pleasant beer.

Would I have the beer again?? Hell no, its rubbish and it tastes really under attenuated. If your thirst for knowledge (pun intended) desires, check out the following website.

Also, the recent poll I conducted clearly indicates that you prefer the name ' Beer Diary' over 'The Accidental Ticker' , so the name will remain.

I would also like to thank social commentator Wurst aka Whorst, for recognizing me as a 'know-it-all'. You do not realize that you are just feeding the most egotistical beer blogger of all time. BTW, when you have finished your Landlord clone, put your money where your mouth is and send it my way. I'd love to let the beer-blog-o-sphere know my opinion of it!
