Common descriptors are
Bottle: Filtered.
Deep mahogany appearance. Superb creamy head, caramel and vanilla with a slight hop tang. Distinctive, creamy texture and full refreshing flavour. Impressively complex, with robust, interwoven malt and hop flavours that persist well past the last swallow. Simple rations such as roasted meat and hearty stews would be ideally paired with Old Contemptible
