Looking forward to baron rating La Virgen ale
Spanish beer? What do I think about Spanish beer? I think I've not tried very much of it! Luckily for me BASCO got in touch with me this week asking if I'd like to try some Spanish beer and snacks - sounds like a great idea! Not only did they send a couple of bottle of La Virgen Jamonera but also a lovely looking pack of Serrano ham!

From the cellar: Greene King Suffolk Springer
 |
| Not bottle conditioned |
Greene King Suffolk Springer* [baron rating /5] - 6% dark ruby ale,boozy xmas cake smell,sweet molasses plummy raisin taste,fruitcake finish
* means that this bottle has been cellared/aged and is not indicative of what it would be like if drunk fresh.I had this bottle hanging around since 2010, the Best Before Date was November 2011 so at the time of the review this beer was over five years old. Not quite sure why I'd not baron rated it sooner, think I was expecting it to be horrid. Maybe a fresh bottle of it is not that great but this aged one was really something special.
