Chocolate +Beer. It never works! Until now…
Long term readers will know that I’m a fan of chocolate, and that I’m obviously a fan of beer. On the other hand if you put the two together, it never works. Its either always to thick, or to sickly. You may wonder why I’m giving this a go – well Christmas presents are there to be drank.
And I’m glad this was drunk. Marks and Spencer’s have done a good job here. Its a light tasting drink, but it has just the right amount of ‘chocolate’ thrown into it. The original sensation is first thirst quenching, followed by the gentle chocolate breeze, which is finished with a fantastically tangy aftertaste.
Good stuff! Worth a sample!
Well its a new year, and time for the first “Disappointment of The Month”. I opened up this promising looking tube on New Years Day, a present from the Mrs, it looked like a nice gift… on the outside. When you open it up, there are two disappointments. To start with – the bottle itself, is so small at 330ml its really quite sad. Secondly the free pint glass is non branded – its totally blank! Now I know a pint glass is a pint glass – but a bit of effort would have nice!
Guys. Imagine having a conversation with a mate in the pub. You hear about these sisters, they sound great, but when you get to meet them – they’re kinda ugly. Ugly Sisters from Marstons is a bit like that. The first impression is nice and refreshing – then that tangy, citrus aftertaste hits your senses like a train. This is the sort of beer that then rests on your gut like a stone.
From the Sisters – I moved onto the Owl. You can almost the white feathers! Well you cant, but me saying that is more interesting then the beer itself. Its good – just kinda boring….
