Loved the prisoner ... first watched it 92/3 time when I was in the XIth form with my Dad ... who had recommended I watch the repeat on TV having watched it himself when first released. I also watched it all over again in 2015 ... time for another outing soon!
Black with a good sized khaki head.
Nose is dried fruit rinds, tobacco, mellow roast, cocoa powder.
Taste comprises cocoa powder, toffee, tea leaves, more tobacco, dried fruit rinds, brown bread.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Tidy stout.
