I’m still on my European tour, now in Poland! I feel like I may have had Funky Fluid before, but if I have I wasn’t blogging it. I’m pretty certain whatever I had was not Lava. A 12% peated imperial stout. That will leave you burning for sure. Apparently, it’s also sold as a barrel-aged version, but for some reason that one was not on the shelf. Well, I can probably guess the reason. So, a stout does not need to be exceptionally cold to be palatable, and even benefits from being more flavorful, so the shitty fridge will be just fine.
Again, head fizzes away in seconds. I really have to do something with my glass. Otherwise, it’s a fine looking beer, a nice dark brown and only a touch of smoke in the aroma. There’s a hint of chocolate swimming around in there too, so it’s not as much like the fire from a few days ago and more like a boiling pot of hot chocolate. The taste though, wow! It reminds me of bacon chocolate bonbons, with that meaty flavor all wrapped up in sweetness. Most bacon candy isn’t smoked as far as I know, so that’s a difference. It isn’t a delicate beer at all, although it doesn’t look very heavy being poured, it packs quite a punch. There’s some residue that you have hanging around the back of your tongue for a while, which might be good at preventing you from drinking this one too fast. There isn’t much aftertaste and the memory of the sweetness lingers more than the smoke. I would appreciate some food with this beer, as smoked beers aren’t really my favorite, although the snacks would have to be subtly flavored themselves to not start a fight.
