The beer: Double Perle. The People: Weird Beard Brewery. The standing: 8.6%
For a while I avoided Milk stouts as the first one I had a few years back was horrible, but this is the third one this year and they have been much nicer.
This one is also a coffee milk stout so it also has a bonus to it. I dont drink coffee but I do like coffee beers. And this one is no exception.
The aroma is what you would expect, chocolately, dark fruits though a gentle note and coffee, good coffee at that. The taste is the same but with a little milky taste, with spice, roasted coffee and has enough going on while maintaining balance. The texture is really pleasant, quite medium body, not oily and leaves the same aftertaste as the main taste to be honest. You will never forget what your drinking the whole time.

Scott was gratious enough to give me a beer from his advent calendar pack, so I thought I should really put it on here. Something Something Dark Side from the Weird Beard Brew Co suprised me at first. Reading the label it calls itself a “strong hoppy IPA” so I was expecting a drink far lighter than the picture above shows. From the colour i’d guess at a porter/stout. It also had a citrus smell, much like a Punk IPA to begin with but that seemed to fade quite quickly. To begin with I couldn’t put my finger on the taste. There was an element of chocolate but the main taste still eludes me but it has a deep rich taste. After consulting the bottle it contains chocolate malt and roasted barley. Its rather drinkable, put maybe not one you would want too many of. And there would be a reason for that, I didn’t notice till I was writing this but its 9.4%! Also it has an awesome bottle cap
