Beer, revisited

[PhilM]

I had one of these last night in homage to the Amsel Dark Bock (basically a black lager) I would consume in large quantities when in Jordan.

Not the best beer I've ever had by any stretch of the imagination, yet it was pleasant enough and something a little bit different.

What % is it

 

[COYBL25]

What % is it

5.6 %

But from experience, dark or red lagers always seem to be skull splitters in the morning.

Possibly the colouring used ( not the 8 pints )

As we've mentioned before, Red Erik comes straight to mind when you're talking about destroying you and being a head splitter.

With regards to the Brookyln dark lager, I doubt I'd drink enough to get a hangover as it's not something I'd choose to drink regularly.

I had Red Erik in mind when I posted that.

Possibly the worst hangovers known to man.

Pity you can only get it in cans now though.

Used to love a couple in the Dispensary, just to start the night off lol

If you ever get a chance to try this on tap get it into you. It's like a meal that get's you smashed.

Some crackers there, Bass Bitter is a rarity now days - beautiful if kept properly.

I still buy it in bottles - Asda.

Brilliant isn't it. I'll add Smithwicks in as well then. Off to Cork in March so I'll have my fill then

Last place I saw it, was a pub in North Wales.

It's been brewed by Marstons few a few years now, as Bass was bought out by In Bev - Stella.

Haven’t checked in here much recently because I haven’t had much inspiration, but a wonder from local brewer Abita: Maison Blanc (a play on Maison Blanche, a NOLA based chain of department stores ) is (a Pilsner?) brewed with Sauvignon Blanc grapes. It’s really nice.
