From the cellar: Greene King Suffolk Springer

Not bottle conditioned

Greene King Suffolk Springer* [baron rating 5/5] - 6% dark ruby ale,boozy xmas cake smell,sweet molasses plummy raisin taste,fruitcake finish Baron Orm

* means that this bottle has been cellared/aged and is not indicative of what it would be like if drunk fresh.

I had this bottle hanging around since 2010, the Best Before Date was November 2011 so at the time of the review this beer was over five years old. Not quite sure why I'd not baron rated it sooner, think I was expecting it to be horrid. Maybe a fresh bottle of it is not that great but this aged one was really something special.
