Bread? Biscuit? What is this, an 18th century voyage to the Americas?
No! It's Beer Saturday!! Hurrah for the beer!!
This week we have a couple of dope bangers to try. That's right, I actually said that.
We have a bread pudding amber ale followed up by a chocolate wafer pale ale!
These flavours wouldn't be too surprising in a dark beer. Perhaps a Porter or a Stout but, oh my goshness, in an amber and a pale ale!?
Non dark madness!!
Let us dig deeper and when I say dig deeper I mean throw them down my neck and see what comes out the other end!
A bread pudding beer, I mean how? Well, apparently it's brewed with surplus bread from a local bakery, with vanilla, cinnamon and get this... brandy soaked currants to make it extra special! I'm bloody excited.
You could literally soak a dog's Heehaw in brandy and I would give it a lick.
Yeek, alright, maybe not...
Let's get stuck in!
Mmm, what a salty looking sea-dog! It's got my kibble in a bibble just looking at it.
Massive giant white head like the breakers on a Californian beach and the amber-brown of the ale itself is cloudy as if the sands are being stirred by the pounding waves.
Say no more!
That was quite the chap. I enjoyed it very much despite the overall lack of bread pudding-ness to it. A hearty amber ale with hints of raisins and a slight toffee'ness, 7.5/10 booms!
Just think, a little more of that bread pudding and it could have been up there with the greats!
Next?
Have a Break... Well, I don't mind if I do. Right see you chaps later...
Ho ho! As if I would just have a break and fuck off somewhere!
No, no. I will stay and do my time, as it were.
This was the beer I got given for free for helping the Bear-Man lift a couple of boxes. It might be the only beer I have ever earned for humping some old boxes about.
I promise I won't let it affect my judgement. Although, it has been noted before I am notoriously susceptible to a good bribing.
It's a beer that is based on the flavour profile of a chocolate wafer... Lol, ok then.
Let's get this braying donkey of a beer out of its stable and into my glass.
This one is meant to be the pale ale but it out amber's the last one which was the amber ale.
It's like watching a ginger tom cat beat down a light brown cat called Honey.
Phewee.
Well let's get drinking and see how chocolate wafer this beer really can be.
What the humping hippo!? I'm staggered. Yet again Fierce Brewing have pulled off some crazy flavour combo in a beer and actually made it work. It tastes like a milk chocolate wafer backed up by some proper beefy beer flavour.
I'm in choco-wafer heaven!
9/10 booms!!
Aye, caramba!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Cheers!
