An impromptu visit to a local micro now turned bottle shop added to variety. All welcome except the Spingo No 10 which I'll leave on the shelf in future.
BOTW Marble Extra Special Marble. Malty for Marble but beautifully done and balanced with just enough bitterness to keep it going down. An excellent winter beer which I'd like to try on cask.
