Titanic Stout 500ml

The Titanic Brewery was kicked off in 1985 in Stoke-on-Trent, birthplace of Titanic captain Edward John Smith.
They are a champion of the real ale cause in the UK with their beers available in over 250 "freehouses". [if you're familiar with beer drinking in the UK you'll know that far too many venues are now what I call "plastic pubs", controlled by a central management and
run like McDonalds]

One of their beers is the superb Titanic Stout which has picked up a handy list of awards from CAMRA [Campaign for Real Ale]

We've just been offered what I suspect are the last 20 cases of this in Australia and I snapped them up because if you don't want them I'll happily drink the stuff over the next couple of years. Sister Sarah, the historian, will score some in memory of our great grandfather who died on the Titanic. [he was crew, not a passenger]

It's way past its Best Before date [October, 09] but with this type of beer what does it matter? It's probably improving. It's nowhere near as dry as Guinness but I wouldn't describe it as a sweet stout. This is very much a winter beer that you store on top of the fridge at this time of year - why would you want to dull the intense flavour?.
