I'm not a scab!

I've had a fabulous variety today. Which explains why I've just woken up from a post-prandial nap. Well, that and a giddy descent into dribbling senility.
Amongst others, the porter was a bit too much choccy woccy for me but the Schneider Weisse was a delicious surprise. I'm normally not a big fan of wheat beer and I bought it on the strength of DP's recommendation. I'm not sure what the difference between the Unser Aventinus and the Aventinus Barrique though.
The goose was smokily superb too!

Stopped for an Aventinus on the way home tonight. Gawd it's tasty!

Nice subtle banana on the nose, but kept in check in the flavour. Lovely yeast spiciness too.

This is really the gold standard German weizenbock.

It's a credit to you DP that you're taking this pre-Berlin training so seriously.

Germany's very easy. More than 5 peeps in my one place: sausage and beer will be made available!

I had a glass of beer the other night, my first for a few weeks, and I didn't like it
Even more sad is that it was my favourite beer for months.

Keep trying, it'll all come back to you.

I couldn't drink beer for six months after suffering from alcohol poisoning at the tender age of fifteen. I'm glad to say that I made a full recovery and I'm unable to refuse beer.

The most worrying aspect is that I am off to Belgium in a few weeks...I'd best get practicing

Nice! I'd love to check out the Mikkeller bars.

You'll have to drink twice as much beer to compensate, it's tough but you have to even things out.

took delivery of these beauties this afternoon.

really keen to try the up and udder, if it lives up to the gold top and AK1911, I am in for a treat! will update this one later.

replying to my own post........

the up and udder from the Old Dairy was a very nice, rich tangy dark bitter. sediment in the glass for those of you who like that sort of thing.

the closest I can say it comes to in taste was The Gaffer, another bottle conditioned ale, from the Tring brewery (now unfortunately discontinued) so if you have a hankering for one of those, this will do nicely thankyou very much.
