Uncle Shoe's Self Appointed, Completely Biased, Totally Ambiguous, Mostly Worthless, Absolutely Meaningless and Generally Full of Crap Beer Tasting Committee (Henceforth to be known as "THE COMMITTEE") |
Innis & Gunn, Oak Aged Beer 6.6%By scrivener, Section Our Tastings
On this, the 3rd day of dazzling December, in the 2006th year of our glorious goddess, and in honour of the 10 leaping Lords of the libation... and especially the 3 esteemed and present in attendance to we 2 lovely, of the ladies dancing, as we frolic in the festivity of this exceptionally sunny Sunday morn.
Innis & Gunn, Oak Aged Beer 6.6%,
As the procurer of this proffering, I shall commence with mine own sage sentiments - noting that I devotedly and dauntlessly searched hither, thither and there to bring and bestow the most beauteous of brews, to be brought forth for blessing by the noblemen and noblewomen of this fine establishment, alike. And lo... I did bow down before them, ready only to arise and accept the predestined praise for which I have for a lifetime prepared - to finally and irrevocably remove the sinfully scandalous stain of the past and "unspeakable" profferings I've presented heretofore, forevermore. The 'Scrivener' on this page is NOT, I repeat NOT Devoid!
 Red: Empty +, Excellent "An amusingly ambrosial redolence that pluckily promises rapturous recompense. Marvelously malty meanderings with a slight toffee tease. Sumptuously soothing. If this doesn't win 'em over nothing will! Despite that the concept of Oak Aged beer was apparently uncovered accidentally, it was a sweetly serendipitous happenstance, for me! And indeed, the applause was unparalleled - the accolades unequaled. To be sure, Scotsmen ar aye wyce ahint the haun. (wise after the event) And perchance a good lass like myself will now assure be vindicated!" (Webmaster's Note, ( What???))  Nemsis: Empty, Good. "Great beer. Very slight sweetness. Good blend of hops. Very great flavour and no aftertaste. I'd switch if it came on tap and was a little less expensive. I will buy it again." So 'twould seem, thus far, that I have not failed my good man. And so we'll on to the next! (Webmaster's Note, ( I must admit here that I have bought it again and that I still enjoy it. It's a sipping beer, not meant for pounding.)) Liam: Empty +, Excellent. "Most excellent. Very slightly sweet, definitely malty. John won't let me have a second, the spare one, like he usually does. Bummer." Two delightfully down! I can feel the forgiveness awaft on the air! Alas, poor wee Willy! Methinks our delightful Devoid might be following the old adage: keep yir ain fish-guts to yir ain sea-maws - or - Charity begins at home and he's more as like keeping the last for hisself! (Webmaster's Note, ( We got us a real self-love fest going here don't we folks.)) Devoid: Empty, Good. "Everything is good except the price - $3.15 (Canadian) a bloody bottle. Other than that I would switch in a heartbeat, well done Shelley!" And of his wrath I had been most afeard. And so it went... and there'll be no accusations that I cum o the mcTaks, and no o the mcGies... for I have shown my eagerness to gratify by giving... and may these fine friends now be especially thankful for it! For I do love them all dearly, and am thankful for every one o' them! And as me gram used to say when I was but a wee bairn, Byde weill, betyde weill - and this was aye worth the wait! Stay tuned for next week's report as the Committee enters unfamiliar territory by convening at my house for Eggs Benedict, beer and a Scotch "nosing"... John's verily aglint at the mention of the Glenmorangie! Will they make the "game"?? or will moving the menagerie prove too reckless an adventure for all?! |
