Bateman's Autumn Fall is in many ways my kind of beer. It contains an innovative use of multiple grains (Barley, Wheat, Rye, and Oats) and has a nice malty flavor as a result. The official tasting notes remark on the taste of orange and pear drops and while the orange is apparent, the pear drop flavor doesn't really come through. The pleasant coffee aftertaste, however, is delightful, I just wish it was more pronounced and lasted a touch longer! While I was only able to sample this in a bottle, I fully intend to try it on tap in the autumn. This beer is a great purchase for bargain seekers at Aldis up and down the country. It warrants a firm 7/10 and leaves me wishing I had a second bottle...
