Badgers balls, it's Saturday!! Are you ready to gun some beers? I'm ready!

What do we have in store this week? None of your pallid, wet skin looking ones either. This week we are going dark. Like midnight on Pluto.

Regular dark you cry? You mean like a porter or a stout? Well one of them is a stout yes, but regular, heck no.

So what are they?...

Goodness me, a salted chocolate Imperial breakfast stout? I can feel the blood rushing to my porken extremeties. This sounds top notch. And look at the strength of the salty wee bastard... 9.1%!!!

That's fighting territory!!

Here goes!

Now normally I frame the shots a little better. But it's sunny as hell and I am drinking al-fresco. So I can barely see the screen on my phone.

It's a black velvety number. It looks like a family of black crabs scuttling across a black sandy beach at midnight. Mm, gets my chompers all snarly!

Whilst I have a moment I try an amateurish slo-mo video. I love my new phone!

So, it looks awesome. It plays well in videos. How does it taste?

Pretty damn good! Definite coffee bitterness being the overriding taste. It's very thick of the mouth. There is a hint of sweet vanilla and the oats that are claimed to be in it. I like it a lot.

Can you tell? However, having tried a fair number of these types of stout I feel that if they balanced the vanilla and chocolate against the coffee bitterness they would have an astounding stout. So an admirable 8/10 booms. Fix the balance and it could be a ten!

Cor blimey!! Next!!

Well. This one is a puzzler. A black Berliner Weisse. Hang on... Doesn't Weisse mean white??

I am bloody well intrigued. Bring on the black white beer!!

It's black alright. Like an otter's elbow.

As a big fan of otter's that's no bad thing.

I give it a try. The first sip. Mmm, you know what? They have nailed it! It's definitely... Oh wait hang on. Oh man, what is this?

Travesty!!!

Lemon washing up liquid!! It's lemony!!

Lemony. I don't want a lemony beer. If I want something alcoholic and lemony I will drink my own fine home made limoncello!!

I am disgusted by this beer. So much do that I have to pour it out. A damning indictment.

Begone with you!! 2/10 booms and those two solely because it was black when it was white.

A good choosing this week. Despite the lemon muck.

The sun is shining and I have many more beers to try in the fridge, have a good weekend everyone!

Cheers!

Thank you for posting @meesterboom.

Steemians appreciate these fantasic Saturday Night Beer Reviews.

What a couple of beer names....right.....enough to give one nightmares. ^__^

Shattered Dreams sounds like a winner....are you sure it is not a Sunday morning beer as well?

Here's hoping you and yours had a lovely weekend.

Cheers.

Begone with you!! 2/10 booms and those two solely because it was black when it was white.

Racism upon beer, Michael Jackson would be proud

hehe well reviewed boomy!

Hehe, I kept thinking of that body Michael Jackson did when I was talking about t it lol

Wow @meesterboom, My God, was the Heathen so bad?
Well, I'm imagining ...

Yes, it must have been very bad...

At least the Shattered Dreams was very good.
Keep enjoying this sunny day and of course enjoying your new phone

Greetings

Greetings!!

The very first sip I thought was nice for a moment, then that lemony dish soap taste came to the fore, it just got worse after that!!

I'm loving the new phone! :O)

ewe dish soap .... but your breath is lemony fresh...lol

Like my mouth has been washed out with soap and water!

First beer, Shattered Dreams sounds like it is right up my alley. Save one for me, Boom! I'll bright over!

What do you mean they put lemon in the beer! Awfully disgusting. Here they order their beer and ask for lemon and salt on the side! What a way to ruin a perfectly good beer!

I know, I was baffled. I mean I can understand a tiny hint maybe? But this was full on artificial lemon sudsy madness! It was horrible!!

I have your beer in the fridge!

I happen to like drinking the odd bottle of washing up liquid so I'll be pouring this Heathan stuff down the hatch in no time.

AHhahahahahahahhahahah! ;O)

It says salted chocolate and it taste of lemon? How frustrating disappointingly!
This is fake advertisement.
The slow motion video is extra cool, what phone did you buy?
Did you say you make homemade limoncello? With what types of lemons? You know I come from the land of limoncello....

I used Amalfi lemons. Only the best! It was a man in Amalfi that told me how!

The phone was the Samsung galaxy S9. It's quite awesome!

Wow, what phone does that wonder? I think I might be able to record a couple of drinks commercials with him! Now let's go to the beers, today is Saturday and I'm celebrating Mother's Day, but in my country we hardly have much variety, so I'm learning with you, although in my beer experience I haven't gone from 4.5% to 9.1% it would be crazy, so your 8/10 rating would only test a sip!

Hehe, it did feel quite the strong ale!!

I have the Samsung S9, I think though that most new phones this year and some from last have super slomo now. Its quite impressive!

hahaha for me it seems to be from another planet, I have a hopeless iphone 4.. I sit in the caves

Hehe, just a bit ;O)

The beer reviews are both informative and humorous as usual and the stout sounds pretty damn good but genuinely thank you for the link to and idea of home made limoncello. You've literally given me the best idea ever for an upcoming summer party/event I have to attended, so thank you.

Definitely do it! Its amazing how easy/awesome it is!

so NOW I am really looking forward to the weekend, where I can finally grant myself a beer (or several:-)). Definitely a nice idea and a funny post I enjoyed very much!

Thank you, I am looking forward to it myself already!

Wow, you actually poured out a beer - it had to have been horrible for you to do that! Travesty, indeed!

It was horrible. Yech
