Bought this just cos it was halloween
Lovely spicey flavours but quite a thick head. Nice and warming, slight coffee flavour in there.
Can’t remember much else about it to be honest.

Shepherd Neame IPA
I liked the label on this bottle. And I’m quite fond of an IPA.
Pours quite dark copper coluor, with small amount of lacing.
Slightly bland flavours, a bit fruity, a little bread in there, and slight bitterness.
Okay, would only buy if on offer.
Shepherd Neame 1698
A lovely 6.5% 500ml bottle conditioned ale.
Pours lovely amber/ruby mix with slight carbonation.
Lovely toffee and slight chocolate in there and maybe some butter. A very nice beer, goes down nicely and I could easily drink more.
Simpley NICE
Shepherd Neame Whitstable Bay
This organic ale is brewed by the Shepherd Neame brewery (responsible for Spitfire and Bishops Finger)
I was expecting a lot from this due to the oh so popularity of the aformentioned two. But I was little disappointed.
It has a very small head, but a lovely golden amber colour. Smells hit me like when you’ve not had a beer in a while. I was excited to taste it because of this.
Anyway, the taste was a bit standard. Malty and very much like I would imagine an organic ale to taste, a bit from the earth if there is such a taste. It is a little bitter, but not overly, and somewhat tangy. Overall I wouldn’t buy this again, its okay as a ‘reserve’ beer, but not at all what I would go for first.
Shepherd Neame Spitfire
Nice simple English ale. Ruby coloured with a nice thick head on it. Smells a little hoppy.
Very very easy to drink. A bit sweet and bitter, caramel like. Perhaps malty toffee.
I like this. Could drink it a lot. Goes down very well.
