Looks like a picked a bad week to quit drinking.
If you’re Canadian and participating in Dry February, you picked a bad week to stop drinking. That being said, these political issues seem to be trying and painful, just like Dry February is, but remember what George Harrison said about kidney stones, all things must pass.*
Consider yourself manhandled.
Mid winter seems like the right time for me to do some Sleddin’. Fortunately for me, I’m a summertime rider and my V-Twin is all the speed I need. Travelling at 40 mph in -20C weather is not my idea of an enjoyable afternoon, but that’s just me. So, after an enjoyable outing of Jean Skiing, I’m making tracks with this Refined Fool Winter Beer League sled ride on the their trusty old school Manhandler snow mobile.**
A stark contrast to the bright white winter snow, this porter pours black with a paper cut thin tan head. A nice roasted malt aroma with some sweet in there too. First taste is roasted malt with a dark fruit body and a sharp espresso finish. This is one full flavoured porter, the word aggressive comes to mind. The hazelnut is a no show so far, as I settle into this one. There is an espresso aftertaste. The roasted malt with a Java jolt, I guess the hazelnut is providing the sweet but it’s more like a cocoa combo.
Strong and tasty, it’s a porter lover’s porter. A real manhandler? That doesn’t seem to be a politically correct term to me. Then again, when it comes to politics these days not much seems to be correct anymore.
A nice wakeup call and departure from the trails, trials, and tribulations of the day.
