Bottled & reduced to clear
Pours a cola coloured body with very little off white head
There's those coffee notes in the flavour with a little golden syrup & some wheat cracker malt
it's uncomfortably flat confounded by being thin
is it because of age or bad batch
still barely competent stuff is better than bad ale

The Wentworth brewery are producing a range of affordable beers for the Barnsley Beer Company, this is the first I've reviewed so far.
The brown 500ml bottle has a bright eye catching label (as do all the range of beers).
The beer poured a Redwood tree red, it was clear and bright, if it had been a sunny day it would have sparkled. Sadly only a cream coloured wisp of a head appeared on the beer, it still looked good though.
I was suprised by the aroma, roasted coffee and dark chocolate came to my nose.
The taste followed the smell with the aftertaste being even stronger giving hints of burnt dark chocolate and a rich coffee flavour.
The thin body seemed to lack depth, even though the flavours were strong and 4.6% is fairly high for a UK bitter, even a special. From my thoughts on the taste and aroma you'd expect a creamy, rich texture, but this was not the case at all.
Overall I enjoyed it, only the no show of a head and the poor body intensity let it down. I hope the rest in my stash score as well.
