Saturday and that means beer!!
I love the weekends and what a selection of crazy beers I have to try tonight!! I was very excited to see that my local shop had a few new faces in so let's see if they are any good. Incidentally, this is a second attempt at posting as my first one just plain disappeared after I posted it!?! Anyone else had that?
So let's get stuck in. First up.
If you read my beer posts you will know I am a big fan on the design of cans and bottles and look at this beauty. Spacesuit, mystic 8 ball and some manner of tramp with their ass out!
This pours a beautifully hazy, amber red colour, big walloping gassy head too.
It's a proper rye, big and bold. Lots of toasty hops and a lingering slightly bitter finish. I like it a lot. I seem to be smacking my lips after each glug and saying aaah!
Excellent, it is with some reluctance I have to move on. But such is beer!!
A what!?! A salted caramel milk stout? I mean salted caramel is alright on cakes but in beer? Well, this makes me excited and a little scared. I mean, what if it is bogging!
It pours as black as night, smells lovely. Sweet with a hint of toffee. Now to see what the taste is like. Hmm, it's not bad, getting hints of caramel and milk chocolate. Not much of a finish considering the bad boy is 6%. All in all its not bad but not a huge amount to write home about.
Which means I can head over to, what for me is the main event. When I saw the next one up I got so excited I bought three just in case it was good. But is it?
Peacher Man! A peach and apricot witbier. I am so looking forward to this.
And it's awesome!! A classic cloudy witbier with hints of apricot and fruits. The fruitiness is enough to notice and subtle enough for the wheatiness of the beer to shine through too. I am a happy chap! Can you tell?
For me, this is definitely the winner out of three very different beers tonight. It has everything I am looking for. Toperoo. I would heartily recommend it.
Now I am a fully fledged son of a peacher man I must finish these and clean the streets of crime!!
Cheers everybody!!!
