Looking forward to baron rating St Austell Smugglers Grand Cru

I was a very happy man on Monday morning when a parcel arrived with a very special bottle of beer in it, the brand new & very nicely presented St Austell Smugglers Grand Cru:

St Austell Brewery

• Smugglers Grand Cru - 11.5% superior oak aged strong ale, hints of smooth oaky vanilla, toffe & spirit underpinning the notes of sweet & spicy forest fruits.

This looks truly amazing, I love the 750ml champagne bottle, the gold foil wrapped cork & cage and the the rustic slightly worn label. I can't wait to try it!

Look out for the 'baron rating' for this St Austell beer soon, and a big thank you to Laura from Octane PR for sending it through to me!
