Two kinds of speciality beers. One is called 'delirium tremens', which apparently won worlds best beer awards several times around the world, not cheap, 4 bottles came in at about £15-16, but comes with its own etched and engraved glass, decorated with pink elephants, a big rounded thing almost like the things used for serving brandy or perhaps claret.
The other was a really rich, full-bodied dark beer fermented with cherries, that hardly tastes like a beer at all, called Bacchus.
Quite a strange one actually, its really quite winey in taste, and not at all like a typical beer. Strong too, at about 8.5% C2H4OH.
Oddly I LOATHE any and all wines with a passion ususlly reserved for paedophiles, little-old-lady-stomping thugs and investment bankers. SERIOUSLY, I cannot get wines or champaignes past my nose without my stomach twitching in revulsion. But despite tasting like there was only the thinnest and most ephemeral barriers between this cherry beer and wine, I actually enjoy it, without my gag reflex kicking in.
I don't think I could drink much of it at once though for some reason, its more of the sort of thing that should be brought out for a few snifters.
To me, wines truly are of the grapes of wrath, but this cherry beer is God's beer.
