Jennings, Sneck Lifter Strong Bitter (England) 
Sneck is a dialect word for a door latch, and the sneck in question in this beer's name is that on the door to the pub. This bitter pours a very deep amber/brown colour, with a capuccino-coloured head that is thick and persistent. The nose strikes a really nice balance between warming malt notes and crisp, apple fruit, with just a gentle hoppy influence. On the palate this beer really comes into its own, with a great depth of chocolaty malt and a sweet caramel edge to citrus fruit. There's a nice bitter, leafy hop finish, playing against the sweet malt in a lovely beer that may lack a little complexity, but is utterly delicious. 5.1% ABV, 50cl, �1.83, Booth's, Safeway. |  |
