Hi, this is a blog I put together quickly so that my girlfriend and I could post our thoughts on some of the things we drink. Right now, this is heavily centred around alcoholic beverages, but it might some day even encompass other beverages we enjoy, such as tea and coffee. Of course, the opinions expressed here are our own and may very significantly differ from yours (it's all a matter of taste, isn't it?), but, whether you agree or disagree with us, I hope it will be useful in some way, if only to introduce you to drinks or brands you didn't know existed. If you should have any comment on what you read here, please feel free to drop me a note at smassy at sdf dot lonestar dot org. For context's sake, know that we are currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where we arrived from Montreal in August 2005; hence, when we refer to something as local, it more or less means NS or, at its broadest, the Atlantic provinces. It also means that all prices reported here are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise specified. Price are also non-inclusive of taxes (15% in Canada), once again, unless otherwise specified. But that's boring stuff… Click on any category or subcategory to read entries more relevant to your interests and tastes. Happy drinking! Monday, October 03 2005
A nice stout with a nice texture and a lot of fizz to it. Fairly sweet, dark taste with floral hints in the mouth, almost reminiscent of molasses, which then explodes into a fairly smoky taste in the back of the mouth and in the aftertaste. The smokiness is nice, but can sometimes have a coal like edge which would make drinking a lot of this beer difficult. What with this characteristic and the heaviness, it tastes somewhat like a cross between a stout and a Scotch ale. Highly recommended with spicy food. And it comes in a cute four pack, rather than a more traditional sixer. [/Etc/Beer/Canada/NS] permanent link |
