It's Saturday night. It's England versus Germany. It's a night for a beer. Having not thought this through carefully enough yesterday there are only two beers in the fridge, and so the choice is limited (but neither seem disappointing prospects). The Brewdog Albino Squid Assassin, perching less than steadily atop a bottle of tomato ketchup gets the nod ahead of the more familiar squad members. After-all it is a friendly. It's all about experimenting. Although like Hodgson I have also opted against Drink(ing)water. Enough of this. On to the beer.
Let's start with the headline. This is a good beer. It reminds me of the Wild Card Jack of Clubs somewhat. Having said this any regular reader might note I wasn't much of a fan of that beer however. Well yes. The overall picture is a little similar, yet this drink seems to have a lot more depth and further dimensions to it than the aforementioned beer. The colour is deep red, the flavour is smokey and savoury. The packaging is pretty wonderful too. This is a good beer. Don't expect to find this on tap anywhere. You may have to go out looking for this beer if you want to try it, but it's certainly worth it. Drink it in with your eyes, drink it in over your taste buds. It provides pleasure to both senses.
The score:
4 out of 5 beers
