By the very beard of Zeus!! It's beer time and what's more, it's beardo beardy beer night in the Boom house!!
To celebrate such an event I have a beer from the Viking stronghold of the North of Scotland! Huzzah for my bearded brethren of the northern isle of Orkney!!
And then to follow... Surely a sophisticate such as myself will find further solace with a regal Old Fashioned style beer from my favourite brewery - Tempest Brewing.
This promises to be a night of the bearded God's themselves!!
Steady yourself, my humble readers and viewers, hold fire on the moist'ity and the mast'ity!!
Let's go!
Barleywine?! What's that? Is that what us beards drink now? Fair enough. Let's see it.
Mmm, a pleasing tawny colour. Much like I expect my beard to become after a short discussion with 
Back to the beer though. Let video man judge this fine looking thing.
By the hairs on my chinny chin chin. This is rather good. Slightly chewy and toffee-ish. Lots of barley too. Perhaps not quite as complex as I could have hoped for but a fine beer indeed.
7.5/10 booms!
Happy days begat those who walk with slow pace as they say in Japan!
Moving on from a sweet little number to a gentleman's cocktail of a thing.
Let me introduce:
I love Tempest Brewing. This one took me by surprise, they hadn't publicised this one at all.
Let me get peculiarly Old Fashioned...
This is a murky looking fucker. No other way to describe it. It looks like frothy mud.
Apparently it is their marmalade and rye beer, which I loved, only aged in bourbon barrels with a few extras chucked in like vanilla and ginger.
Intrigued and slightly disgusted.
Here goes.
Ha! Another winner from Tempest. This thing is tops! Orange, ginger and hoppy beer collide with bourbon barrel aging. It's smooth and beefy-big on taste. All of the flavours marrying up perfectly into a sexy mouth party!!
9.5/10 booms!!
Ho ho ho! What a night of beer. Now I must drink more whilst figuring out what to get my beard for Christmas. I do hope you could make out my voice in the videos behind all that hair!
Have a good weekend everyone and cheers!!
