Anyway, unorganized Beta Beta Beta formed my Sophomore year and as I was arriving to school, my new stupid housemates were putting a smoldering mattress out on the front yard. Apparently the Beers, Babes and Boners Frat had a little fire problem the night before. Fire department came, police, glad my mom didn't catch that live. Our new frat was cool, except for this one crusty chick that used to just walk into the house and take one guy's dog for a walk. But before leaving we always got mega attitude, women's rights lectures (to a bunch of guys who already respected women), and Earth Day type shit cubed. Everyone hated this girl, and we let that be known often. But we preferred to watch Jimmy Connors battle it out in the US Open. Lovers not fighters. Hey, Ithaca College chick, call me.
Today I'm going back to England for the first time in a while. I heard this bottle of St. Peter's Cream Stout calling my name the other day, begging to be bought. It is brewed by St. Peter's Brewery in Suffolk, England. If you're counting, that's two days in a row of Saints, so I've got some brownie points with the Catholic Church.
This beer has a rich chocolaty aroma, malty and smells sweet. Actually, though, it is not sweet at all. First flavors are of roasted and bitter, burnt chocolate, malts and some nuttiness. You also taste some dark fruits, specifically plums and raisins. The body is medium to full. After the initial flavors die down a little, some good hops bring in even more bitterness. My 16.9 oz. beer is mostly smooth and a little creamy; however, after a few sips and even more as you keep drinking, you start to feel some alcohol biting on your palate. There is a dry and bitter finish, and a roasted, nutty aftertaste is left in your mouth. It was a very nice beer, although I'd have preferred it slightly sweeter and the alcohol masked a little better.
