Great Tom is brewed to fortify the fundraising for the renovation of the great Gothic Cathedral in Lincoln. (Great Tom is the largest bell in the carillon.) So, the brewer is doing a good deed for the community and God and posterity and for brewing.
So, I will start with the copy on the label (in case you get Great Tom from a conditioned cask while in Lincolnshire to visit the cathedral.) " A Dark Mild ale with elements of chocolate and coffee in the nose. A fruity and roasted malt mouthfeel with a soft, bitter finish."
The brewer actually captures Great Tom well. (Not much marketing hyperbole.) I should add that I enjoyed this mild at room temperature and that the mouth is, indeed, soft and chocolatey. But that wasn't enough for me as I also had to eat several chocolate-covered digestives also. (I couldn't stop as they went together so well.)
I went on Lincolnshire's website to confirm all the good things I just said about them. And they all seem true, particularly about subtly doing their marketing through supporting the ways and events of Lincolnshire. But, their big OA Hugs come from doing a good deed to help restore one of the finest examples of English Gothic.
