This waz good.Drank it with some Ratatouille . There should be more 8.5 % beerz on the UK market.Too much of that stale 5 % subdued bull shit :):I really enjoyed Old Tom Ale.I reckon I drank it too cold. As I think this is a ’room temp beer’ if ever there was one . Dark and robust. Lotta chocolate and raisins. Hearty stuff.
