You are lucky. I’ve pretty much begged for this beer. I’m still holding out for Brew Dog to magnanimously send me a bottle. Anyway, I’m happy to write about this; Protz should have known better than to judge a book by its cover.

I was lucky enough to get a sample of this beer and I must say that it was interesting. Unfortunately I only got enough to give my tongue several coatings among a loud crowded room that was not the best for tasting beer. The smokiness of their stout was amplified and most people simply proclaimed it tasted like some sort of smoked meat and alcohol.

Thanks for taking the time to think about these issues before you quickly brushed it off as all marketing and hype without some sense of content.

Thanks for the “insider” track on this stuff. As I freely admitted, I don’t know a lot about the UK situation. I have to say that it seems things are changing for the better on the beer front; at least I hope they are. I think it’s a bit like the US 15-20 years ago. The large breweries were still the ubiquitous catchall for drinkers and craft really hadn’t come into its own the way it has now. People were simply content to drink that stuff and not adventurous at all. I’m hoping things go the same way for the UK.
