I emailed the brewer to see if what we found was to be expected,here's his reply:

I've tried two bottles today... One before listening to your review again and one while listening to your review.
So I'm a little in the fence on this one.  I don't think you got a duff bottle (although both of mine had bubbles riding from the bottom for at least 10 minutes) because what you said seemed accurate... But as I drank it and went through my brew notes (quite a few different beers have been brewed since), I couldn't help but think that I actually hit target with this (the problem with that is it brings up the question is it a bad beer by design or am I just a bad brewer...).  Part of me wants to guide you through the beer so that I can at least show you my vision, but the other side of me realizes that the everyday consumer won't have that luxury.  Your review was an honest look at the beer you were given.  I have to accept that and just be glad that it was a very limited addition that won't be made again.
I do appreciate your ratings... It's great to get feedback from someone who actually cares... And the fact that I got two 5/5 at least cushions the blow of one bad review.
Keep up the good work... It's people like you that are aiding in the progress of this country's beer development.  My hat off to you!

Looking forward to baron rating these The Ale Room beers

The Ale Room recently sent a handful of their new supplies to Baron Towers, from two breweries that I've not tried before, Nobby's from Northamptonshire and Bexar County from Peterborough:

Middle bottle doesn't even have a name!

Bexar County Brewery

• Falcon IPA - 7.7% true American IPA. Well balanced but hoppy through & through. If you are a hophead, this is the one for you!
• Papa Steve - 9% Imperial Stout, this extremely limited edition beer is packed with flavours of burnt toast, dark chocolate and hints of toffee with an impeccably smooth finish.The name Papa Steve will not be seen on the front of the bottle, but will be known as being so because of the Red Cap
• San Jacinto - 6.9% American styled IPA. The six hop additions lead to a well rounded IPA

 Nobby's Brewery

• T'owd Navigation - 6.1% strong dark ale from years gone by, rich in malt and hop flavours
• Wild West - 4.6% award winning mahogany ale, full bodied and flavoursome

Look out for baron ratings for these The Ale Room beers soon, and a big thank you to Andrew (@TheAleRoom) for sending them through to me!
