MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 18, 2008
A Sim rate (Marquis of Cornwallis): Quite sweet and surprising vanilla/caramel aroma. Boring colour, but very impressive lasting lace. Very ordinarily-malty flavour but something sweet and nice about it. Woody with definite caramel in the finish. Nice but rather ordinary.
