Welcome to Drinks Tube. We're the craft beer boys, and it's cold outside. So today we're
going to be talking about our favourite winter beers. And as the name suggests they're perfect
for enjoying down by the fire - or by the candles. Yes candles.
First beer of the evening chaps I've gone for the Schneider Weisse Tap 6 Unser Aventinus.
It's technically a larger it's a doppelbock. So it's dark, it's fruity, it's rich and it's also got wheat in it which
gives it a sweet, bubblegummy, clovey kind of edge. So when you pour it, it'll look like
a, almost like a stout. It's got the most amazing sort of, dark, fruit, muscavado sugar
kind of flavour to it. Like a blackberry pie or a fig tart. Chaps, what do you think? Oh
it''s gorgeous, it's up there with one of my favourites. It's bananas, it's dried apricots,
it's cloves, it's very festive. I think it's pretty awesome, you know, the fact that it's
a wheat beer but it's dark. It's exactly what you want in the winter. It's perfect.
It's the perfect winter beer.
So chaps, this is a special brew, they do it each year. It's bottle condition, so they suggest that it
gets better with age. Crack it open. That's yes, not pouring that clear, but, yes that's ok.
Woooh on the nose it's instant alcohol, this is 8.5% which you know is a big big strong
beer, and that has got clear spirits in it. It's got, tequila in there. It's absolutely
full of flavour, full of complexity. Chaps, what do you think? I would drink this almost
like a wee dram of whiskey. It's got a real peaty, whiskey, age barrely, almost smell and
flavour to it you know. I want a bit of cheddar cheese with this. Cheddar cheese, chutney,
cracker and that. It's incredible.
So this is the Scottish hopster. Brewdog's Five AM red ale.
I'm an IPA man, this is my winter tipple. Look at that lovely amber, red colour.
Not much of a head I must say.
Just tipped it down myself.
So this is, incredibly malty. It's just quite luxorient. So, what do you think chaps? Brad, great choice. This is a really
good warming beer, good hearty beer and even though it's complex it's still really enjoyable.
It's just this sort of amazing amalgamation of like really traditional red ale with all
those malts, the dark caramel, the kind of slight leather you get. And then it's just
at the end it's just this smack of citrus. Like lemon and pine, maybe a little bit of
mango and that's coming in with these dark malts, it's a real contrast. It's amazing.
So great choice. Thanks man, I mean it's 5 AM red ale, 5 hops, 5 malts, 5 stars.
