Message wheresthepath beers 3441 º places 278 º 13:34 Fri 8/22/2014 Quite enjoying the Calvors - sweet Horlicks and chocolate with freshly buttered diacetyl in the finish. I know others hate it, but personally I quite like the odd bit of diacetyl in th right place. Somehow it’s not the right sort of beer for Harry Potter though. Need something darker and more bitter. Has anyone ever triefayching beers to films? Might have to give it a go in future. Anth
Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 13:34 Fri 8/22/2014 The Alligator Drool was not good. Poured it down the drain. Too many good beers to drink to waste alcohol tolerance on this. Normally I try to finish each beer, but this is poor. Not as good as my own homebrew.

Colour me shocked!

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 13:59 Fri 8/22/2014 OK after the shockingly poor Alligator Drool it’s time for a New Belgium 1554 Black Lager http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/new-belgium-1554-enlightened-black-lager/1266/ As you all know I do love a good lager. Oh and SLF has finished in an explosion of Suspect Device and left me in tears, so to lighten things a bit I’ve stuck on an album from my student fresher year that never fails to bring a smile to face, Eight Legged Groove Machine by The Wonderstuff.

Message wheresthepath beers 3441 º places 278 º 14:09 Fri 8/22/2014 Originally posted by harrisoni Originally posted by wheresthepath Right, I’m in (briefly) with a Calvors Dark Lager from Suffolk. No rocking out here - we’re re-watching the firdt Harry Potter film. Which is still great fun, even if the kids were a bit too young to act then. Wha’ ja’ fink o’ eet??? The film or the beer? Both a sight better than whatever your impression was meant to be of Ian. Unless it was meant to be a drunk Dutchman?
