Bernard Dark

After living turbulent for a while, I am finally back to living my normal routined life again. The irregular posting over the last month or so should have been a give away, but then again its a quiet time of the year in the beer blogosphere and most blogs are a little quieter than usual.

I have some good news to report, my local Tesco has recharged it shelves with a bunch of new beers for me to try when I can't make it down to my usual stomping ground, The Parr's Head for a pint. The first offering from St Arnold that I picked up was Bernard Dark (5.1% abv), which is a Czech Schwarzbier style which is more along the lines of a malty dunkel or bock. This beer is thick and tasty with solid roasty malt flavours all the way through the glass. It feels like you are drinking a delicious oil! No really, its that good and it comes in a cool swing top bottle. Overall this is an excellent beer that I will probably grab a few bottles of as we head into the colder months. http://www.bernard.cz/

Also, you may have noticed I have a poll up on the sidebar. A few people have emailed me and accused me of being an undercover ticker. I can see where they are coming from, but i tend to disagree. To settle the argument once and for all, if enough people think I'm a ticker then I'll change the blog name to "The Accidental Ticker". So vote up and have your say.
