Ian | | 20 Mar 2010 | Best Wantsum beer I have had. Good choc and coffee flavours. Lovely porter style beer. Good flavour, excellent finish. |
Brian | | 08 Jan 2010 | Said excellent may just have been good, but it was the first pint for a week. Had a couple. It's black, roasty malt with bitter finish. A bit thin perhaps, no real punch, but had 2 without noticing. Good stuff really. |
