Brakspear Triple III

I had never enjoyed the taste of beer, well, not until our recent World travels. Now I love it!
As we spent two years travelling, I'm sure you can imagine it was thirsty work, so I often refreshed myself with a nice cold beer - or three.
Now we're back in Blighty I still enjoy the taste of beer, and so does Mr.R which is why he bought a bottle of Brakspear Triple III to try.

So, what did we think of this beer?
I only had a sip from Mr.R's glass, I didn't like it, not for any particular reason, I don't think it's a bad beer, in fact I'm sure it's very tasty, it just wasn't for me.
Mr.R said he really liked it. Here's what he wrote about it on his blog -
''The Brakspear Triple III is a mighty fine ale. It is a proper beer for a proper people. 
On the palate it is fruity, spicy and hoppy with a good depth of flavours which are aided by it coming in at ABV 6.7%. 
I give it 8/10.
ABV: 6.7%.
Hops: Target Malt: Pale, Black Crystal and Oats.

The labels on the front and back of this beer bottle say -
Thanks to two fermentations in the Brakspear 'Double Drop' system & another in bottle, this highly aromatic & satisfying strong beer delivers its rich flavour with subtlety & balance. 
Crystal, Black & Pale malts provide the backbone of this outstandingly rich beer. Golding, Styrian & Cascade hops are added in both the Copper & the Whirlpool with a further late addition of whole Cascade hops during fermentation, to impart a dry hop character to this complex beer.

Mmm, reading the description made me want to drink it. Maybe I didn't taste enough of it when Mr.R opened the bottle?
Have you tried Brakspear Triple III?
