A not so lazy Saturday post

I apologise for yesterdays single word post but that was all I could say. It was good to wash down spicy food but not good for much else.
In a completely opposite direction is the next Porterhouse beer to talk about. This is their strongest beer at 7% called An Brain Blásta which is a clever play on words because that is Irish for The Tasty Drop. The clever word play is pretty obvious so does not need explaining.
This is a beer that is quite lovely cold but develops into a heavenly beer when it warms up to room temperature. It is all dried fruit and malt with a lovely citrus hop character and even some dark chocolate going on along with roast caramel. The finish is dry and leaves you longing for more.
This is better than on tap from what I can remember of it. I "think" it may be a little sweeter on tap.
Well done Porterhouse and keep up the good work.
