The Beer Advent Calendar 2012 - December 14th

Bit rushed today, I'm off to eat pizza.

I just had a sip of Fallen Angel - Black Death, a beer brewed and flavoured with the naga chillies.  It smells truly awful, like someone dropped a chili into a keg of vinegar then forgot about it for a decade. Truly special scent.
Oh and it tasted awful.  I think I may have ruined my evening already.

Thwaites - Old Dan
I picked this one up because it was next to all the 'cool' beers in Morrisons.



Looks - Lovely deep rich caramel colour, head cleared quickly.
Smells - Quite a bit  of alcohol in the nose, rich plum smell - a good fruit cake aroma.
Taste - Pretty good.  Nice classic dark flavours of roasted malts, liquorice etc

6/10

I wrote this whilst listening to my running playlist, which is an energetic selection of 90's hip-hop, alt-rock, blues rock, metal and just good old rock.  It was mostly Gorillaz and The Black Keys, House of Pain to finish...jump around.
