I have made a resolution not to display my beer knowledge in public any more.
Today in Dan Murphy's a young couple in their early 20s had a carton of TED in their trolley but were buying a few odd bottles of specialty beer to take home and try... an encouraging sign of course...
She had a bottle of Youngs double Chocolate Stout in her hand .... "Hey Nathan look... chocolate beer.... what's this stout stuff? What is stout?"
Uncle BribieG pipes up "Oh that's a very black English beer a bit like Guinness and the 'chocolate' refers to a dark chocolatey malt they use ..."
Young lady is at this point is looking pleadingly at Nathan 'please rescue me from this child molester'. Uncle Bribie politely changes aisle and inspects the offerings from Poland, Ukraine etc....
Can't help some people. <_<
The Youngs stout does have actual chocolate in there, bars and essence (the double bit) if i'm not mistaken
