Kalsarikannit.

A Finnish word that everyone in the beer thread needs to acquaint themselves with.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Chocolate Porter with pizza??? You probably had pineapple on it as well.
Pineapple? The egg of Beelzebub. The chocolate in Chocolate Porter is pure essence of cocoa beans, a bittersweet, but mainly bitter, backnote that complements the sweet acidity of decent tomato sauce and the umami sweetness of pepperoni and ground beef.

The last ESB I had was a rather butch and hop-heavy cask beer. This bottled version has subdued hop.
It turns out that either my memory was faulty or they've changed recipe. The cask pints I had earlier this evening were similar to the bottle.

I think they've changed the recipe (years ago), I used to really like ESB but it's not very good nowadays, just doesn't taste the same. Could be me I guess but my money's on it being them.

Anyone else in Beer52? I just got a Groupon deal for 8 cans for £15. I'll give it a go but will probably cancel my membership soon after they arrive unless they are particularly good.

This afternoon I've mostly been drinking something called "England's Glory" (or something similar). It's a Greene King trad bitter. But since it's on top of wine and prosecco at lunchtime, and since some of my (soon to be ex) colleagues have been saying some rather nice things to me I'm not exactly sure about the details.


(And I seem to have posted originally in the waste-of-space jokes thread.)

And Hawaii not?...:whistle:;)
Btw, I've just tried some Wild Beer Company Millionaire (salted caramel chocolate milk stout). The caramel and chocolate flavours are actually quite subtle, so another good effort from the wild wild west. They're one of my favourite breweries and I always go for their stuff if I see it on tap.
