Too bad it's just the same basic recipe brewed a bit stronger so I doubt it will be anything to get excited about but hey, it's Iron Maiden and it's beer.
Trooper is nice as a cask ale, but like most cask ales, doesn't translate that well to a bottle. It's not bad though! Not sure I will get to try this one before I leave England.
Just out of curiosity I looked at the cost of sending a sixpack to Australia for anyone interested but the cheapest I could find was approx AU$60 for the shipping alone, and that's by 6-8 week sea freight How the fuck do Amazon manage to send things like TVs and entire home theater packs for so little?
