Victory Storm King Imperial Stout (USA)
This is a powerful beer, both in taste and alcohol content. Stout is one of my favourite types of beer, especially when it's done right. And this is definitely done right. It leaves an aftertaste like you'd just drank three cups of strong coffee without stopping for breath. It's good. And I mean really good.
O'Kell's Aile Smoked Celtic Porter (Isle of Man)
For those of you don't know, the Isle of Man is a tiny island located between Britain and Ireland. Apparently there's a brewery there, and if this beer is an example of what they brew, it's a pretty good brewery. I'll admit that the word "smoked" on the label frightened me a bit, I've had some bad experiences with smoke beers. But this one didn't have the overpowering smoky taste that the others had. This one tasted more like the tar flavoured things that you can get, at least here in Finland. A nice mild beer.
Victory's about an hour's drive away from me. Seriously one of my favorite breweries. Check out Hop Devil and Golden Monkey, should you come across them!
ReplyDeleteThose two are in the book, so I will definitely be checking them out if I can find them.
