3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
75cl poptop from some shop in Aldeburgh. Does the needful for a yeast-laden modern British stout, without setting the world on fire by its finesse. A bit self-consciously "real ale in a bottle". Too harsh bitterness or too soft a body, or both.
