18th February 2013

I had a damn good reason to celebrate this weekend. My favourite football team, Barnsley FC, made it to the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Might not seem like much, and any non-British readers might not have a clue what I'm talking about, but it's still cause for a celebration for me.

Black Albert (Belgium)

It's hard to believe that you're drinking beer with this stuff. It tastes more like a red wine that a beer. There's a definite sweetness which I've never noticed in a beer before. That sweetness can be explained with a close inspection of that there picture. There you will see the list of ingredients, and the final one is "candy". Doesn't say which kind of candy it is, which is a little bit perturbing. And it certainly doesn't mean it's suitable for children. At 13% this will give you the same kick in the head that red wine will. Enjoy in moderation, because everyone knows that red wine hangovers are the worst.

And I know what you're all thinking, but don't worry... I've already had a haircut.
