London Stout from Meantime Brewing Company Limited
Rating: B
Sampled at the Cambridge Beer Festival 2008. Surprised this isn't in the directory yet, as someone commented that it was "great in the bottle" which means it's being served in at least two ways, and has likely been around for a while.
Appearance: not opaque (surprisingly), brown/cola in color, with a small head
Smell: overwhelming toffee/caramel notes, with some roast and vanilla underneath
Taste: heavy diacetyl, this one. my tasting note was "caramel and chocolate covered popcorn with a bit of vanilla"
Mouthfeel: medium body
Drinkability: average, not subtle at all which hurts drinkability when the flavors happen to be so intense
Serving type: cask
