Beer Advent Calendar 2014 - December 1st

*Insert standard oh for goodness sake is it December again? Already!? comment*

I find I'm lacking the same enthusiasm I once had for beer advent, that's not to say I don't love buying and drinking the beer.  Just the photographs, reviews and scores.  I like beer a lot, so most things get high marks. So I'm not sure I can fairly score the beer anymore.

I might just try and think of a different adjective to describe each beer instead.  And I'll try not to use the same word twice all month.

Siren - Shattered Dream


Nothing like an ass-kicker of a beer to start things off.

Shattered Dream is a 9.8% breakfast stout.  The bottle says it's brewed with vanilla and cacao nibs, I can't really taste the vanilla - the roast is quite overpowering.  I can definitely taste the cacao.
It's extremely drinkable for almost 10% - especially if you compare it to lots of other imperial stouts.

It's very pleasant.

Which is what today's adjective is.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! 
Pleasant.
