Wusu Red (乌苏 红) by Wusu Breweries (乌苏啤酒厂)

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Wusu Red (乌苏 红) by Wusu Breweries (乌苏啤酒厂) at The Dumpling Company

Wusu! Woo hoo! Just the thing to moderate the gustatory coruscations of the málà flavour storm. The gentle maltiness calms a palate quivering from the má but not yet stunned by the là. Sweet, but not too sweet with a gentle bitterness so nothing cloys.

When I cracked the can I thought "Crikey! This smells like the time Deano & Nancy poured a whole litre of my sister's Coconut & Lime shampoo into the Cuba St bucket fountain!" The palate too recoils from the sweet shampoo claque dans la bouche.

Storm-black with a head like pregnant thunderheads at dusk. But an emasculated brew. A "... sulky, sullen dame, Gathering her brows like gathering storm, Nursing her wrath to keep it warm." A dour drop, dour & humourless, dry & bitter, verging on sour.

I know varnish. Old-fashioned varnish based on Cyprian turpentine. I once restored the woodwork in an old house. When one scrapes & sands old varnish it is dry, bitter, desiccated. Fresh varnish looks like Maltexo® & resinous runny honey. Sandpaper straaf

La Voile Noir by North End Brewing

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a La Voile Noir by North End Brewing at The New Library Of Alexandria

As the famous Flemish folk song says "Met een 'hey nonny nonny' en de melk werd zuur en niemand behalve ik weet precies waarom!" Waking in a sour backpacker's sleeping bag in an unclean Flemish barn. Yesterday's wine has soured & my fruitcake fermented.
