Past Masters Double Stout (Fuller's)

Past Masters Double Stout (Fuller's)
Name: Past Masters Double Stout
Label: "Limited edition - heritage series"
Brewery: Fuller's
ABV: 7.4%

Rating: "Brewed to a recipe from 4th August 1893 - a time when 'stout' meant 'strong'. Its signature ingredient is Plumage Archer barley, carefully malted and kilned using C19th methods. Dark, brown and creamy this beer balances a rich fruity aroma with smoky, bittersweet chocolate notes."  An exceptional beer and no mistake. The only mistake was the price maybe. From Sainsbury's, it weighs in at a whopping £3.05 which is the most expensive bottled ale I've ever bought. For most people this probably won't break the bank, but my bank's now just a smouldering pile of rubble.

Game: I've not played anything else for over a week now except for The Witcher 2. It's immensely addictive and the dialogue is on sparkling form. Some of my favourite quotes so far:

"Your next opponent is Smugface, also known as Tassledick."
"Is a pig's arse tight?"
"Did you say something? Or did you just fart?"
"They'll pick us off like ducks and I'm no duck!"
"They say blacksmiths are strong. I say they're fat pussies."

Check out james-sterling.blogspot.co.uk for first thoughts on the game. He's a lot more better with the putting the words together and writing stuff thing than I am.

Well it seems our banks are next door to each other, 7.4% ABV! Phew! That is powerful stuff

Witcher 2 is simply enthralling, and a fine selection of colourful quotes you've got there, though nothing yet compares to the early learning centre comment from that Bickle character!
