Around The World in 80 Beers Episode 210: 4 Pines Nitro Stout

[den]

Pours very black and opaque, with a small, tan head of fine bubbles. No carbonation visible

First Sip: Mild malts with a slightly bitter, dark chocolate and coffee flavour. Very mild hops flavour which lingers for ages. Medium mouth-feel, with a slight tingle on the tongue.

This is nice. Highly drinkable, not very gassy, nicely warming in the stomach. You would expect a beer like this to be best for winter, not when it's 31C outside, and you'd be right but it's a Stout and any time is a good time for Stout.

And 4 Pines have worked to make this a beer suitable for space.

SPAAAAAACE! BEEEEER!

At least it's nitro burps, not co2 burps.

Sorry, little OT. :)

Hi Dan, I've done a small odessy to get in touch with you (I also subscribed to dreamwitth to post here). :)
I've read your post on the differences between the first edition of the Hobbit and the current versions on flameofudun-dot-net (where it seems I can't sign up).
I wanted to thank you because it was a really great thread. :)
I'm currently creating an italian facsimile edition for fun (here the book arrived only in 1973, so we never read the first version), so I'd like to credit you for your work.
You can write me at raccspam-[Bad username or site: -gmail @ com].
Have a nice Xmas day. :)
