Been really enjoying Spider-man for the PS4 and decided to share some of the photo’s I took in game.

We are back once again to talk about anime.  More specifically, the Winter 2018 season which involves Yuru Camp, Darling in the FRANXX, Dagashi Kashi 2 and more.

Once again, I prove to fail at using a microphone so apologies for that.  As usual, the Beercast contains NSFW language as well as a rumbly tummy from Scott at one point.  Enjoy!

Beercast – Episode 11 “Just like Frisky Dingo”

We discuss the autumn 2017 anime season as other things pop into our brains.  Apologies as my mic is amazingly quiet for almost the entire podcast despite me being so close to it, I could have eaten it at any point.

As usual, the podcast contains NSFW content and as such, should not listened to be listened to by most people.  There is a audio skip around the 43 minute mark, it’s not a dodgy edit, it’s in the original recording.

Midnight Advent Calendar – Dec 24th

Here we are, the last day before Christmas and the final beer.  The last beet is Beerfoot from Amundsen Bryggeri.  A grapefruit saison at 4%, which is designed to invoke summer.

Living up to its style, you can smell and taste the grapefruit.  There is a pleasant tang to it as well.  Quite the quaffable one, this is.

With that, another year is finished.  At least there wasn’t a tragic beer this run.  A big thank you to everyone that visited the site and have a merry Christmas.  If you don’t celebrate Christmas, have a nice couple of days!

This evening’s beer is Hobo Chic by the Dry & Bitter Brewing Company.  A double India Pale Ale at a hefty 8%.  Though in the description on the bottle, they call it an imperial IPA.  This also uses two of the same hops that yesterday’s Thirsty Frontier (citra and simcoe) but to a very different effect.

When I first poured this beer, the smell was an extremely sweet pineapple smell.  Now it’s been open for a little while, this has almost completely died away.  That initial sweet smell made me think this would be light and fruity.  The taste is actually very tart and sour hoppiness and hangs around for a while.  It also has a chalky quality I’m not fond of.  If you hold it up to the light, there is also a lot of sediment floating around (this can also be seen in the picture above).  It’s not a bad beer, though I’m not sure if I would choose it again.  I think some of it comes down to being fooled by the initial sweet smell (insert your favourite trap meme below).

I like this beer a lot.  As I have mentioned before, I am a big fan of Punk IPA, and this is quite close to that.  Thirsty Frontier by To ∅l  is tonight’s beer.  A session IPA at 4.5%.

The smell is not just hints, but a lot of citrus.  There is less citrus in the taste as it seems to be balanced out with the hops.  To quote Ron Burgundy “This goes down smooth”.  Recommended.

Advent calendar 2017: The absinthe days 22

Whoops, made this while still playing VRchat and didnt take a photo before I louched it. Suprisingly I got another Jade in the calendar. Named Nouvelle-Orleans Verte standing at 68%. This one did not last long, I’m already down to like one gulp left in the glass. This one has a lot more going on than normal, a lot more complex but a little thinner, so a lot more drinkable. The aroma has something I cannot place, mix in with basil like anise, a spice mix like five spice. Taste is very refreshing, without a hint of mint, more clove like. With the strong anise and gentler wormwood, with a darker sugar like flavour too. Aftertaste is warming, spicy and clean. This one is very different to the other Jade absinthe’s and would have it again.

A suprise or maybe better wording just what I fancied tonight. A peridot appearance, leaning towards not being natural, with hardly any details from Provence distillery, named Absente 55 standing at 55%. Right before I added the water it had a real strong aroma of anise. Once louche was formed, good oil swirls but became a thin cloudiness, anise remained to be the only aroma. A hit and warmth of the alcohol is there thankfully, otherwise it is basically a very sweet anise water.

After some digging. It is known as a fake absinthe or not absinthe at all. Doesn’t use one of the main ingredients, Artemisia absinthium, which kinda makes an absinthe an actual absinthe. Interesting.

Today we have Charlie Don’t Surf by the Alphabet Brewing Co.  A session IPA at 4%.  I’m assuming the cat on the can is Charlie but who knows.

A light hoppy smell on this one.  Hoppy taste as well.  Leaves a long lasting sourness in the after taste as well.
