West Berkshire - Santa's Tipple

"Novelty" is often a perjorative word indicating a lack of quality - you don't hear the words "Novelty Hit" and expect to hear a blinding work of unparalleled musical genius.

And so it was with a heavy heart I picked up a bottle of West Berkshire's "Santa's Tipple" for £1.53. 

Guess what? It's really rather nice. Toffee flavoured, heavy, good blasts of hops and malts, and somehow redolent of Christmas (it may be subliminal). I really enjoyed it...get it while it's cheap.
