Ooh let us know what you get @Rhyddid2026!
Aw it's always nice to find a new local something to try/support @beanielou. Ask again if he says he doesn't like summat or if you're looking at other shops

It is similar @Sun_Addict, it's not as thick which to my taste is a good thing as it's satisfyingly stouty without filling you up as much. If he's a real Guinness aficionado I wouldn't substitute it as a gift or to serve as some people are Guinness-or-nothing but if that's just the sort of thing he likes and he's up for trying beers, the Black Heart is really bloody lovely.Sun_Addict said:My DS likes Guinness so is the Black Heart similar?

I got the jam doughnut one you suggested, fullers organic honey dew (just sounded nice), hobgoblin ruby (I was thinking of a ruby ale I loved in NZ) and Tomos Watkin Blodwen Blonde (because one of my ducks is called Blodwen the Beautiful).
