My kinda beer
Posted by Abel on 05 Sep 2006 at 08:43 am | Tagged as: Startles
Our new bitter brown ale… is our most complex beer to date. This ale is a wonderfully bitter, incredibly malty and nicely hoppy brew. Amber and Dark Crystal malts, and Willamette and Challenger hops are used in this 5.3 percent alcohol, 84 International Bittering Units (that’s right, 84 IBU) ale. A rich mahogany in colour, this ale blends flavours of fresh bitter coffee, dry caramel and nuttiness with light dry chocolate, woody hop and citric notes.
Pray, why so interesting? Because, dear readers, Scotch and Irish Brewing are describing their latest ale:
“Corporal Punishment”!!!
Further investigation uncovers a beer-aficionado’s review board, describing the characteristics of Corporal Punishment, including “bitterness that builds in intensity”, a “Bitter finish, with a woody aftertaste” and complains that it can be “a bit astringent”.
Quite.

Hmm…not so sure about this bit, I’ve always found any bitterness I have decreases in intensity with Corporal Punishment… leaving me all sweetness and light
No bitter finish either, just some soft sweet hugs, lovely!
Heehee, good one, Ms Sweetness & Light
Regardless of the kink-factor, the description of the beer actually sounds good to me.
I may be mostly a top, but I’m something of a masochist when it comes to beer. Bitter is good!
The link, unfortunately, isn’t working. Probably a good thing…Sparkle always gets a bit peeved when boxes show up on our doorstep.
It’s working now, Chris
