Still confused as to what color and body this batch is going to take on. I had every intention of brewing an IPA, but my malt choice may have been a bit on the darker side.
An uncarbonated pour of the Beeriety Peanut Chocolate stout
Tastes delicious already.
Yum!
Twas the night after Thanksgiving and all through the bar
The patrons were drinking from near and from far
The handles were hung by the beer taps with care
In hopes that good tippers soon would be there
The reg'lars were nestled all snug on their stools
While cursing the college kids who all were such tools
I wore no kerchief but I wore a cap
And had just settled down for a beer from the tap
When down toward the taps there arose such a clatter
I asked the barback to see what was the matter
A draft had just kicked and he ran in a dash
To change out a keg, which he did in a flash
The dim light shone barely but I saw from the glow
That the barback emerged with a tap from below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Anchor Christmas ‘09 - their seasonal beer!
With barely a pause, I ordered so quick
A pint of that bad boy - my annual pick
I took my first whiff and a sip without shame
And from those impressions my beer review came:
On raisins! On dark malts! On chocolate on the nose!
On deep tones of licorice on the tongue as it flows!
This top-notch ale gave my senses a ball!
Now drink away, drink away, drink away all!
