Pen-Lon Cottage Brewery - Stock Ram Bottled Stout 4.5%

Taste: The wooden bit surrounding a pencil.... licking a slate roof on an old farm building.... a fern growing in your mouth.... wool from a mountain grazing sheep somehow turned into a stout. All in all very earthy and honest and very good!

Appearance: You can't see through it! Not black though, a dark ruby red. Good colour for a jumper.

Would you buy two? If I was voyaging to a distant mountain, I would pack two!

Would you buy four? A little too hearty perhaps.... but then again!

Rating: A comfortable * * * * *
