Bottle bought from the Belvoir Alehouse, Old Dalby. Drunk at home. Hmmmm. Not sure that Stilton is a flavour I want in my beer, but we will see. Light tawny brown, clear and looking quite thin. An uneven white head floats aimlessly on top. Aroma isn't unpleasant but it's odd: cheese (not Stilton but maybe something milder), hazelnuts, TCP. Not very beer-like. It actually tastes quite good. The bittersweet beginning changes to a sharper hoppy bitterness which lets up only slightly. More cheese is detectable in the aftertaste. Soft carbonation, creamy body. 500 ml is a bit hard going but it's surprisingly drinkable.
