[i] Bottle, Ken Sheathers Wines, Leckhampton, Cheltenham. Had this 29-12-07 [/i] Nice malty aroma and a pleasantly malty beer, this was more mild territory than stout, a bit watery, but even so I rather liked this, subdued bitterness but nice all the same.

Bottle. Dark, opaque brown colour with a slight tan head. Rum and raisin aroma with some molasses and a hint of vanilla. The flavour was less interesting:some roasted notes and dark fruit, with a hint of sourness in the finish. Good.
