Saturday and it's sunny!!! Hot dang, after all the promises throughout the week that it might be warm it's finally happened. And what goes amazingly with sun?...
Beer!!
Let's get drinking!
Profanity!?! What the fuck kind of name is that? Ha, see what I did there!
Anyway, to the tasting. It's fantastically sunny outside so I am going to grease my nips up with sun cream and get outside. It feels slightly odd to drink a stout in the sun but fuck it, I am slightly odd!
It looks mighty fine, even under the scorching laser beam of the sun. The head is a big slabbering bubbly monster that refuses to die. I like that. Here goes!
Oh it's a good one! Roasted malt bitterness like licking a coal scuttle whatever that is. Hopefully, it's not some kind of small woodland creature.
It is long in the bitter aftertaste with a little treacle to it but it's just slightly lacking in something else that would really make it shine. A fine beast none the less. 7.5/10 booms!
Now what could come after in this heat... Ooer! How about a strong ale!
Doesn't this have quite the poetic name, Later Song, it implies a mournful sadness. Let's shake that off quick! Pour the mournful bassa I say!
It's a fine looking thing. Rusty amber with a gold tint. The head, a wispy little tuft of cotton fading to web like strands around the edges.
To the tasting!
My oh my, it's a fine beast. Wiper & True have come up trumps again.
It's very hoppy but with a sweet smoothness. There is a definite hint of some apricot which should obviously be bizarre but is a lovely backdrop to the strong beer. It's almost creamy. Man I love it. Perfect for this sunny day too!!
The bottle warns that it has a lot of natural sediment. As I get down near the bottom I see what it means...
That doesn't detract away from its loveliness though. 8.5/10 booms!!*
Well, what a fabulous day for the beers!!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Cheers!
I see bubbles, bubbles everywhere.
I am sending you some bubbles back.
Here you go, take it.

So what did the temperature get up to in the end? 10-, 12 degrees? ;-)
Ahhh........... the Scottish summers...... hehehe
Glad the weather is picking up. If you get a summer like the one we have just had, you'll need quite a few more of those beers down you, just to stay hydrated.

Wow 17 is hot for Scotland. You won't be envious of our weather soon. It is about to take a turn for the freezer-ish-ness. And then the rain and wind will really get started.
That's when moving to Fiji looks really inviting ;-)

They both look delicious... Of course it helps hearing you smack your lips for them, haha! Just popped home for a bit to bring my hardworking man some food, then back to mom's where there is sadly no internet. Drinking a staple tonight, Shocktop, for a mass produced wheat beer it is still quite good :)

(repeating a memory from a maths teacher I had a million years ago in high school, and his response to us kids brought up in the tropics whining about "winter" in Australia was to say something about summer back home in bonny Scotland being a nice warm two degrees)

Profanity stout and later song? What a name you guys got for beer over there. Anyway, I'm having one now, it's called Ace Roots, it's dark night here and I can't soar, but I'll pretty much like to drink it again and again and again.

Well, snap! Now I have the desire to buy some beer, especially after a heated conversation over fb. Can't even get a good start to my days off. That last one sounds interesting. But I think I may just buy my Blue Moon :p .Enjoy the sunshine. And send some this way gosh darn it.

YES!!!!! Saturday beer day!!! They both look amazing. Well played on the profanity beer. LOL. I had my special Saturday beer as well. It was called Hoptical Illusion. Super hoppy as you could guess and yummy. Now, it was a beautiful sunny day here as well today. First one in forever. I'm wondering if it has any impact on the beer ratings. I think anything would have tasted amazing out in that sun. Beer outside on a sunny day is heaven!!!

I must admit that this presentation gave me a crazy desire to drink beer, today follows the heat, making ideal for a good beer, I really liked the presentation, if I should choose one, I would stay with the second one of rusty amber.
excellent find dear friend @meesterboom.
