The below bottle of Adnams Suffolk Strong Bitter was actually bought by mistake, as I thought it was the Adnams Bitter from the 300-book. Turned out that the beer was in the 500-book (where it is called Adnams Suffolk Strong Ale).
  • Name: Adnams SSB Bitter, 4.5%, England
  • Appearance: Bronze, good head.
  • Aroma: Berries, malty.
  • Taste: Full flavour, malty.
  • Bought: Tesco, 500 ml, £1.58
  • Overall score: 3/6
  • Info: 5/10-2005, 20/500
But then, according to Ratebeer, they are all the same beer anyway :-).
