. Favourite Beer of the Week

Primator Double Bock is the most alcoholy tasting beer I have ever tasted. At least, I think it's the alcohol I am tasting. It's 10.5% abv for goodness sake.



Its rich and malty and very, very sweet. Hang on, I'm going to ask Nif to try it. Nif doesn't like beer.


Nif says, "It's not bad. It tastes a bit like port."

She's right. That's exactly what it tastes like.

"And Pu-erh tea. It numbs the tongue like pu-erh tea."

I'll take Nif's word on that. I don't like tea.

Bock Beers were orignally brewed in the 15th century by Italian monks who were required to fast during Lent, so they drank this "nutrient-rich" beer instead. I'm drinking it with a sensible snack of celery and humous, and I'm still getting drunk. Those monks must have been off their tits.
