| Shepherd Neame - Christmas Ale | 5.00 | | Had to give it a good rating tonite. It tasted so much better than previous samples. Something to do with the Jockmeister putting a "tight" sparkler on it. The difference was very noticeable, so much so, I scrubbed my usual tipple (Guinness), and devoured 5 pints of this. Very warming. |

| Shepherd Neame - Christmas Ale | 5.00 |  | Disappointed with this years seasonal. Not a lot going on at all. And the bottled version at 7% was equally dire too. |
