Another good'un from Mikkeller. Imperial IPA Nelson Sauvin single hop. Great balance of sweet malt and cat pee hops. A touch of oatmeal chucked in to smooth out the bitterness.
Beer?

Nelson Sauvin? Hmmm. Not a fan. Really not keen on Thornbridge Kipling, for example. Although, having said that, the Weird Beard Holy Hoppin' Hell I had the other day had NS in it and I liked that. But that was with Green Bullet and Pacific Gem as well.
I'm being a bit experimental tonight - don't think I've ever had a Berliner Weisse before, but I'm planning a sour blackberry wheat beer for my next home brew so doing some taste testing for recipe ideas...

I've had a hard week so I have rewarded myself with an early one (It would be a late one for DP
)!!!
First time I've tried this one but it's a rather nice roasted black IPA - the bottle says a hint of pineapple, bitter chocolate and orange. I've persuaded myself I can distinguish all the elements!
p.s. Guess where I'm off to next month?

Ooohh, I know this one - Basingstoke!
(Ps Raven is delish and no doubt Sicily is too - whoever she is)
BTW, I've been meaning to ask - is that a BasingBabe in your avatar? I probably ought to recognise her I suppose!

Not that I need any stock at the moment but Sainos have got this in at a quid a bottle, churlish not to.

It would be a pre-drink appetizer for dp, before getting on with the serious stuff.

Hang on. I'm carbohydrate loading!
If you carbohydrate loaded less you'd be able to keep your mouth closed climbing up the huffinberg or whatever it was.

Berliner Weisse. Interesting stuff. Not as sour as I'd been led to expect, but then I find Rodenbach pretty mild. Looks like tramp's piss though. Drank the first bottle au naturel then had the second with some puréed blackberries added. Hmmmm. Not bad. Not bad at all. The fruit adds depth and character to the beer but it remains refreshingly tart. Now, just need to source some Berliner yeast for my own version...
Ship in a bottle, Black Stuff. Again brewed for them by Liverpool Organic.
Again very nice. Little bit spoilt by the Oatmeal Stout but this is working it's way into the flavour channels now.
Discovered a local brewery today in Brimstage, called, funnily enough, Brimstage Brewery. which I never knew was there and it's on a regular cycle route. Don't do bottles though. I shall have to visit the local hostelry for a sample.
