Lancaster Black

So the first beer to earn the incredible spotlight on my beer journal is Lancaster Black, a stout ale. It was around $3.50 a pint, which is the range that always attracts me, because it indicates that someone at least thinks it's worth more than average, but it's not so expensive that it will piss me off if it tastes like fruity dishwater. It definitely lives up to its name, no light can escape a glass that holds Lancaster Black. It has earned the first DELICIOUS rating ever posted on this blog. I guess that's a good start. If the first thing I reviewed was an 8 dollar bottle of piss, it would basically be like laying a curse on every beer I'd ever review in the future. But I would highly recommend grabbing one of these and curling up with a book on a black topic, like myself with Solzhenistyn's Cancer Ward. You can take a sip every time something depressing happens, like on the first page, and the second page, and the third page, etc.
