Bloody Awful Beer Of The Week

[ROBCamra]

Brewdog Zeitgeist tried in BrewDog. Freezing cold, black as the ace of spades and yet totally tasteless.

It might have tasted of something given a couple of days to warm up.

At £3.95 a pint it's a total rip off.

Nope, won't be happening. I've been once, it's crap, won't be going again.

Some spilt from a bottled opened too quickly at BrewDog Camden onto the new granite topped bar.Being a tight wad ,after the punter who bought the 25ml moved away,I sampled the overflow.Tasted like a carbonated whisky ,but I wasn't going to fork out a sizeable dolop of cash to do a proper tasting.Anyway I was already long pints of Punk IPA and 5am Saint and a gas bolus was developing in my digestive system.

Now this is an odd one, it comes from Fernandes, usually a trustworthy brewer and it was Beer of the Festival at this years Leeds Beer Festival, however their Malt Shovel Mild is dreadfully sour - I think from a large amount of black malts used for the colour. An all too common mistake among home brewers but rarer among professionals.

Easy tiger, that's bordering on fighting talk! MSM is one of my favourite all time beers and on a quiet week is always hovering in BOTW territory. I think the key word is sour, I'll bet my mortgage you had a duff pint, or possibly it was pulled from a duff nine. Beautiful chocolate and coffee roast notes are the norm, with excellent flavour for its strength. I've never had a sour pint in the Fernandes Tap yet. I suspect brewer Steve Hutchinson would be mortified to know it's been nominated for BABW.

Under the sourness was chocolate and coffee, but it wasn't an acetic acid sourness it was typical of too much patent black. I'll try a 1/2 next time I'm in Wakefield.

I think I saw the MSM on in The Angel in the northern quarter Manchester on Friday. I didn't recognise it was Fernandes though and there's are usually quite distinctive. They had a load of Essex beers on, a county I've never had beer from before, so I stuck to those.
