And now we interrupt this program for a news bulletin. It's a boy! First reaction in Gaelic: "iontas!" And quite a healthy, bouncing one at that. So, without further delay, a salute to his health and that of the mother with a fine beer.
Only way to drink it (if not at a pub in Ireland) is from the Nitro can.
Decent head remained throughout. Here's to his mother who was a trooper throughout it all.
Here's to his weight and length, above the chart lines.
Here's to helping raise Taiwan's world-low fertility rate of 0.895%.
Good to the last drop. Here's to increasing the average number of kids per couple.
Wasn't particularly looking forward to having to buy this beer, due to the past experience/memory of its taste. Would love to have a chat with the head brewer at TTL when I visit one of their breweries to try and understand how they came up with the end product. Still scratching my head these past few years since it hit the store shelves.
Best part of this beer is the bottle and label. They started off right and then headed downhill.
Big props to TTL. They really know how to create good head. Back slaps all-around.
First taste was indeed a lot "heavier" than its sibling, plain "M!NE".
But a bit less "smoky" after follow-up swills.
Tastes like a light beer version of a dark beer.
If not told it was "dark" (other than its obvious color), would be hard-pressed to distinguish it.
"The classic full-bodied dark distinctive beer with a perfect balance of hop aromas and malty flavor".
I don't know which body they were looking at for this beer.
Do get a bit of hop flavor, but with a weak dark bite to it.
Did they get this recipe from online?
Not the kind of "dunkel" beer that I can drink multiple steins of.
If TTL is going with this dark beer, they might as well make it 7.5% or more alcohol content just to get some bang for the buck.
This is the type of beer that Toby and Willie would give to their horses, though Willie might think twice about claiming so as a tax deduction.
