This beer proudly proclaims to be the worlds best ale. It won the world beer awards 2009. It was first brewed by the Robinson family in 1899, cool.
The beer is very dark, almost as dark as Guinness. The beer is very bitter & like Guinness I consider this a stout. It has a strong port, almost burnt finish. I rather like it!
I was disappointed at first to discover the beer in a 330ml bottle. But after drinking it I stood up. And promptly as well as swiftly sat back down. The beer is 8.5% abv & my god did I know it. So thats why it's in a small bottle then. A pint would floor a horse. To be fair the bottle does advise caution. I was impressed by the strength I often find very alcoholic beers are ruined & taste worse for being so strong. Not so with old Tom. I give it 9 out of 10. If you like strong beer or stouts then you'll love this beer.
