Hot donkeys doofers! It's a late beer'ing from me tonight. I used to be proud of my ability to resist sleep until I had two children and passed that same superpower onto them. Little Humphreys they are.
But who cares because it's Saturday and that means it's beer o'clock! And look at the two skull splitters we have this week. ABV's in double figures for the pair of them.
I don't believe that science has yet to find a way to count so high?!
These will be mind bending! Should I be worried? Who will I be after drinking these two chaps? A very good question, let us find out!
So first up, all the way from the Netherlands is the
Yikes, 14%!?! That's stronger than a lot of wines!?
What if I drink it and afterward believe my name is Jeffrey and beg people to spank me? Yeek.
Oh well, you gotta take chances!
Good grief. Look at that. A sister of the night and no mistake.
It looks like it might ravage me.
The first taste just reveals a burnt coffee taste. I am almost disappointed. Then I have another and slowly the caramel, toffe-esque maple notes come out to play.
It's lovely. Mind you, it's still strong as fuck. You wouldn't want to be having 5 or 6 of these and swiping through Tinder!
A fine brew, it looks like the Netherlands can do no wrong. 8/10 booms.
Can our challenger, the Aztec Shake, produced by two of my favourite breweries working in tandem, put up a fight against the maple?
Here it is.
Dang-nation! This beer appears to have everything that is good in the world.
The blurb tells us that it has dark chocolate, molasses, ancho chillies, cinnamon and vanilla.
Awesomeness. At least I hope so.
Pouring time!
A pleasing inky black to this one. Like a gimp suit. And I mean that in a good way.
Let me get this in my gub.
Oh my word. By the seven aunties! It's fab. Slightly raisin sweet with a touch of vanilla and the very mild hint of ancho.
What does slightly drunk video man have to say?
Cor he seems happy... Too happy?
I award 8.5/10 booms!! A narrow winner.
Hurrah for beer!!
Happy weekend everyone!
Looks over at my bottle of Zima, and shakes head. "This ain't no damned beer." Maybe if I pretend it's the Aztec Shake, it will taste better. Thank you for sharing your good beer with us. :)

I always limit myself to six, after six. The ones I drink from noon until six don't matter.
I'm surrounded by people today. It's been like this for the past few days. Everyone is buzzing hard. I showed this blog of yours today to a couple of my uncles who didn't believe me one can get paid to drink beer these days. Big smiles all around!

Hehe, it is quite a thing! Quite a draw actually!
And a pleasure, I only did the first one for a laugh because I got such unusual beers and then kept it up. It is the highlight of my weekend, god that sounds sad, yeek.
People people everywhere. often a good thing! I limit myself to six, sometimes five. But the strength makes a fool og me!! Aaargh!

OMG they look so creamy and delicious. Two beers that get over 8 booms. Hooray for beer day. We need to have more days like this. I was working out in 43'C weather today and the beers have been going down like water. Already starting to feel the lightheadedness I was going for. Cheers to beers!!!!

Wow, 43?! That is insane! Although, splendid to drink beers to! It is reaching the 30's here and it is feeling a bit mental. I feel like melting! Or drinking. Obviously I am going for the latter!
Cheers!

I do not think I recall a time when you posted two videos- I am in heaven, just imagining the deliciousness (and maybe a wee bit because you are heavenly and I am working on a good drunk myself? Or should I say I am working on a good drunk myself which makes you appear heavenly?)

That maple imperial stout sounds delicious. Add some barrel angling and it would be. 10/10 booms beer in my mind.

I do like a barrel aging if it is done well and it mostly is bit just the odd occasion it can overpower the beer.
I will definitely try it some day!!

Great point. I just had a scotch barrel aged beer that I thought got over powered by the scotch flavor.

I think it is the toughest between rum, whiskey and scotch. I had a rum barrel aged beer last week that was quite interesting. Very subtle rum flavor with strong tropical citrus flavor.

14% that beer is strong as a mule or donkey kick, as we say in my province, a man my friend @meesterboom to withstand that blow.
congratulations you surprised us again with these two beers that I had never seen in my life.
Cheers my friend.
I wish you a wonderful weekend

Another very good result @meesterboom with 16.5 / 20 ... it seems that you can have another long beer night with the right to hangover tomorrow and with the Good Lady bothering you without counting Little Lady and Little Boom...
That's the youth ... these young people never wake up with a hangover ... and @meesterboom always rises on Sunday with a hangover.
Greetings.
