Beer?

[User169]

Just noticed, that's an IIPA.

I didn't notice that initially until my face went numb.

Naparbier leading the way with their label art. A decent enough imp stout - deep dark chocolate flavour, but the chilli's a bit feeble.

Someone didn't learn their lesson about the word 'Imperial'...

In this new cap-centric world I had this fantastic idea for a pic of this beer which was gently resting the cap on the froth, it worked too but by the time I'd got my phone to camera setting the cap had sunk, I tried it twice before deciding I'm a complete wazzock. Yeah yeah yadda yadda.

If I ever had to try to live off one foodstuff, I'd take my chances with Schneider Weisse original. So good.

I went to a mate's 60th last night and over-indulged in the Harveys bright. It's just too easy to drink especially when you're wowing the young'uns on the disco dance floor...

In other news, I met a woman there, who I went out with 45 years ago and hadn't seen since. She'd aged well, I have to say.

M&S Southwold Spruce IPA (6.5% abv)

Interesting. Not much hint of the spruce in the aroma, or the initial taste. I was expecting this to be strongly piney, but I don't get that, just an odd, slightly floral extended bitterness to the taste that lingers into the aftertaste. Not terrible, but I was glad it was only a small bottle. Of the flavoured M&S beers, I think the Hibiscus Wheat is probably the winner.

It occurs to me that this range may present Marmion with his first cap dilemma; yes, the cap is adorned, but with the symbol of a Union that encompasses a non-independent Scotland.

The beer matches the cap.

It's more the pumpkin that puts me off - my experience of pumpkin beers makes me think that pumpkin should kept well away from beer.

Not a big fan of pumpkin ales either, although the Southern Tier one's not too bad. Can't really see the point of it in an imperial stout and can't say I really tasted it (which I suspect is a good thing).

Generally, I reckon veg is best left out of beer.

And fruit.

Not sure about that, 3BM!!

Just gone on tap in the local!

Soz, never tasted a fruit beer I liked. The only one with stuff in that I think is remotely OK is the Fraoch Heather Ale from the excellent Williams Brothers Brewery. I know heather isn't fruit but you know what I mean.

I tend to agree but I have enjoyed the occasional sourish kriek
