#23 - Bateman's - Dark Lord

Every once in a while, it is the task of a reviewer to know that they are being harsh.  This is a good beer, but it ticks all of my dark beer dislikes.  It tastes of chocolate and not coffee.  And even then, sweet chocolate, not cocoa.  It has a fruity, autumn golden beer sort of aftertaste that reminds me of overly ripe fruit and beer that is unbalanced.  And yet, this beer has by and large received good reviews, indeed, those who tried it with me were great fans.  If the description above sounds tasty to you, then I would encourage you to give it a try, after all, even for me, with my hatred of its constituent parts, I found it easy to drink, smooth and pleasant.  All in all a 6/10 with the sure knowledge that many of my readers would rate it more highly.
