Overall Score: 8.3
 
Value: 8

Overall Impression:
 This is one of those beers that you explore and it takes you to a place like an old English farm house with horses in the field. So complex, that you will discover new flavors with almost every sip. Try and cellar one for a year or two and revisit it. A must try if you like the style.
