Meterman: So lets try again. How did the real life shire meet go?
Flavius: I never know; I always get nervous around new people and do stupid things.
M:Can't imagine that. Did you tell your personal alien abduction story?
F: Only to one person.
M: You restrained yourself from repeatedly smelling your wallet.
F: Only when someone was looking.
M: Good, no one wanted to really look at you anyways.
F: I also complimented someone on their appearance.
M: Great, that is a perfect way to break the ice and make people feel comfortable.
F: I said that he had nice legs and too bad he only had two of them. I like to collect wooden legs.

Ratebeer 3.6

Taste +3

Very nice nose of bitter chocolate and roasted malt. The taste is just like the nose, no surprises here. There is a slight tongue tingle from the bitter chocolate, that is balanced nicely by the roasted malt sweetness. You can also pick out a slight espresso bite.

Aftertaste +2

You are left with a lovely bitter chocolate tingling on the tongue and in your mouth.

Alcohol +1 6%

There is just enough to give the tongue tingle and stomach warmth.

Value +1

This comes in the standard 650ml format for $5. I would certainly buy this one again and recommend it to anyone who likes a good porter.

Ingame Enhancement 0

No L4D tonight, boo hoo. Perhaps I need therapy; in RL I often set off car alarms in hopes that hoards of zombies will come running.

Overall 7/10

This is a great porter. Sadly it will only be available for a short period of time.
