That's a pity - this article suggests it was all brewed back in September, and the head brewer suggests it might not be at its best for another couple of months: http://zythophile.co.uk/2019/09/21/blissful-unions/

Great link, thanks. This is interesting to note
Equally unusually, Pat McGinty has made this 7.5 per cent abv beer using straight-up Burton well-water, rammed as it is with sulphates, which, conventionally, is seen as terrific for pale beers but not so great for dark ones, where a more London-like brewing liquor, with lots of calcium carbonate in, is regarded as optimal.

Marston's 2, the Imperial stout, is shit.
Tastes thin and leaves an aftertaste of blood (copper/metallic tang)
Popping the other bottle in the cupboard for a few years and hope it improves some what.
