Friday started at 9am, freshly showered, shaven and smoked....enroute to my metaphysical brother's house to chill for an awesome day off. Planning to start the day off right and having 3 hours to kill before the G/F woke up, I decided that I should skip breakfast and start my day on a liquid basis....so me and Richie Rich have a little beer sampling mornin:
Being Two bad bois we decided we'd start with the "Lump of Coal" an English Stout....
While not as rich and layered as a Guiness and definitely less creamy, this English Stout is still very drinkable, not enough subtlety for my preference but an easy smooth drinker, just be sure to drink cold...as unlike the guiness further, this beer did not age well with temperature.....
Next we decided to venture into something we thought was a little bit lighter.....
Golden Monkey Triple
So this unfiltered and year old bottle was gingerly donated by Tanya a friend of my lovely girlfriend Lizzylocks. Granted her instructions were to have me imbide so Lizzie could have her way with me, but figured I had never tried and wanted to share a new experience with my water brother....
This spiced ale/beer not sure what to classify it as. But regardless what you want to call it, it was awesome. Great compliment to the first beer, heady and flavorful, but very smooth, crisp and golden, foamy thick head as well....
But 2 beers by 10am is never enough, so onwards with more variety and back to the dark side:
Treis Pistoles :)
This stout/port was another aged bottle fermented brew, granted this one was 2 years old, but so smooth like a nice ripe port, very front of the mouth, great mix after the monkey....left you feeling like this was a very good place to be on a Friday off....3 fine brews gone and herbal refreshments to compliment inbetween libations :)
