The Beer Advent Calendar 2011 - December 4th

Doing a beer advent calendar really does highlight how quickly time passes.  Slow down, damn you!

Before I review this beer I feel like sharing that last night I went to see the Tiger Bay Brawlers in a roller derby in Newport Centre.  Roller derby might be my new favourite sport.  I even bought a t-shirt.

Today I feel I've earnt this beer, as I've spent the best part of 2 hours cleaning the flat and making way for the inevitable Christmas tree (woo!).

Todays beer is Pen-lon Chocolate Stout, another fine beverage from the homeland.

Surprisingly it tastes like chocolate.  There is a heavy flavour of roasted caramel and a light taste of roasted malt - with quite a dry finish. Great smell of coffee and chocolate.

I'm not a big stout drinker and there are a few in the calendar this year.  Hopefully they can all be as scrumdiddlyumptious as this one.

8/10
