Beer?

[rich p]

Been in a bit of a dark mood lately so picked some beer to match.

Can't remember seeing any of these on here before. The black stuff seems to be popular at this time of year though. I'd gone to the shop to get some stocking fillers for our lad and here they are.

He likes Punk IPA, Elvis Juice & Twisted Grapefruit so I hope these suit him. Mostly bought cos I've never seen any of them before.

• The High Wire is better than Elvis Juice IMHO!

Janet's Treat Porter hits you with a big blast of black cherry at first

Now that's a quality name for a beer. Never mind Willie Bleedin Tonka. I had a chocolate and sour cherry porter from Austmann of Norway the other night. It was a bit wasted on me in the state I was in by then, but as far as I can recall it was very good.

We've got some Elvis Juice in the garage. Could ask Mrs jg to arrange a blind tasting for me and the boy.

La Socarrada Cerveza Artesanal Premium con Romero y Miel de Romero. So there. Wasn't convinced at first as it seemed a bit medicinal, but that was mostly down to extremely inappropriate food pairing. With dinner out of the way, it's growing on me, with the rosemary coming through strongly on the nose. I'm not a great fan of honey in beer, but it softens the edges of the rosemary in a necessary kind of way. I think I quite like it.

Very nice Pale Ale from a small Exeter brewery.
I only walked down to the village to get a Christmas card and ended up downing two pints........ it could easily have been far more!

It's 'Hammer Time...'

Stocked up with a few bottles for Christmas. Some I know, some I don't.
The St Peter's Ruby Red was excellent.

I can't even bring myself to 'like' any beer with honey in it. I think I'm turning into 3BM! Eek!

Just a thought but if they left out the rosemary they wouldn't need to add honey soften the edges, then it would be normal beer see...

Fair point, although it would probably just be underwhelming instead of weird. At least this way it's one of my five a day. You'll be pleased to know that I followed it with a Mikkeler Motherpuncher Passionfruit Sour.

Tangfastic!

Motherpuncher?

Actually it's called Mastodon Motherpuncher! I can confirm, happily, that drinking it does not make me inclined to punch my mother. Or anyone else's.
