Had a long day at work, despite taking 2 hours off for a run and food so I treated myself to a beer.
(Also I didn't sleep at all after going to bed early last night like a good play)
I only have 2 beers left now and one was Sam Adams Boston Lager (which I'm saving for a nice day) so I went with Pere Jacques. I opened the bottled and it bubbled to the top slowly but continuously which I guess is a feature of Bottle conditions beers.
Its a beautiful red colour in the glass with a slight honey and caramel taste. The scent is sweet, almost like a very mild bourbon. There is no kick but like many of the Goose Island beers its strong, at 8%..
Falvourwise there is a mild fruitness about it and the texture was at once creamy and light, which is probably what the brewer calls "malty".
I'd definetly recommend this to anyone looking for a single beer at home, though I am kinda tipsy now while I write this!
