Finally got hold of a bottle of His Majesty last night. I almost drowned in it. Had to share it with my flat-mate. He said it was too bitter and I called him a cretin. Just as tasty as I remember from beervana. Awesome.
I'm just trying to spread the word about good beers. Too bad if it falls on deaf ears. It won't happen again. I'll just have to drink the next bottle all by myself!
For dinner tonight
Tuatara helles
Cantillion Kriek
St Bernardus Wit
Green Flash West Coast IPA
St Sylvestre 3 monts
North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Rusian Stout.
Hard to pick a winner, all amazing beers, if I was trying to convince someone to break their Steinlager habit, I'd give them a Tuatara Helles. Green Flash IPA, like being stuck in a hop sack with no way out. Old Rasputin, wow, what a beer. Was the match of the night, we had it with creme brulee which sounds all wrong but it was amazing. Old Rasputin is so rich and malty, overflowing with toffee. perfect. Not a rough edge on it.
I love that beer. Not so full on as the German Rauchbiers but still multi-faceted and delicious.
Just sipping on my American IPA from the WBC. It's still tasting good. Promising myself a drop of Hallertau Porter Noir with the cheese after dinner tonight.
Im just finishing of my CAP trying to get rid of it to make way for my APA, fully craving some hops... Also, nottingham hasnt dropped out of my EKGalaxy and Amarillo ordinary yet, so i dont have much variety atm :o(
