#77 - Batemans - English B Bock - 6.0%
Now, this is excellent stuff! Imagine, if you will, a version of Theakston's Old Peculier, that, while lacking some of the unique flavor, sits more lightly on the tongue, and is quite definitely easier on the stomach! The bottle promises a 'Bavarian Style Strong Ale' and this it does indeed supply. For those of us who visit Germany and curse their obsession with fizz, this is a wonderful hybrid - a genius blend of an English strong ale and a Bavarian Dark Lager. Having read a number of reviews, I seem to like this beer far more than virtually anyone else on the internet. And some of the criticisms are legitimate - it could have a thicker body and it could have a broader range of flavor. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but suffice it to say I will buy another bottle as soon as I find one. 7.5/10
