Perfect balance of malty richness and stout bitterness. Tastes like it has various perfectly-balanced adjuncts but I'm not sure it has any. Classy.

Holy crap. Fully integrated and totally resolved, this suave decadent icon clearly showing why it was the best English stout ever made. Simply majestical.

Nose of leather and sweet strawberries; on the palate, sweet strawberries, surprisingly fresh for the vintage, barrel oak and some leather..
