Christ... So a fair bit's happened happened since my last post. To be honest I found writing about my holiday a little trying...
I had a really amazing time as you may have gathered, but I don't like feeling that I must to write something and one of the original intentions of this blog was to publish writing and tasting as I am doing it... With hilarious consequences!
So I'll get back to that eh...
I've been damn busy recently, if you've not been to Leeds recently then you've won't have seen our festival and you won't have seen me sweating cobs over a shit load of Belgian beer at North.
I'm really happy with the way the whole thing went down, it's amazing how people have become so much more receptive to new beer in the last few years and it's great to now be in a situation where some of these weird and wonderful examples of the brewing art aren't such a hard sell as they used to be.
That said and thoroughly ... and flying in the face of such a wonderful experience, I'm just getting down some German beer.
Weltenburger Kloster - Asam Bock
My fucking christ what a beer.
Smooth as hell, like being thrown down some 'block o flat' stairs whilst wrapped in a duvet. It has bumpy caramel malt like nothing else and deep hops, god knows, perhaps they are hallertau... I don't right know but I've reached a point in German beer where I'm starting to marvel about the nutty, tawny, fruitgum flavours that seem to run through so many beers of so many styles....
This is one of the best beers I've ever had.
nice title - and high praise indeed. Will have to drop in and try some.
