'The XXX makes the YYY sound like its broken.'

I think we should formulate a Naim Forum Drinking Game: take one sip every time someone mentions 'a veil being lifted'. Two sips for 'inky blackness' being mentioned, three for 'when it comes to loudspeakers all bets are off - auditioning is essential'.

Well now that you ask,

I suppose technically it's a stout, but a stout is nowt but a strong porter and although I usually add an IMHO when talking about Naim I can categorically say this is one of the best bottled stouts in the world without worrying about some esoteric pretender showing up.
