Sorry to correct the correction but as the boys at BrewDog say, the correct term is "sausage muncher"

"Sausage Muncher" has a whole different connotation in the UK :wink: And it doesn't refer to them being German either.

... Turns out RB has it listed as an IPA, whereas it's a pale wheat ale on BA.
BA has it wrong, the original requester entered it wrong and it's never been changed.

The homebrewed version was stellar.

This was very moreish; not much nose, but a real nice roast and liquorice bite and dry bitter finish. I believe they did a large enough brew to serve a single cask and bottle the rest, Oschner's 1905 Porter, which is available at the Sherbrooke liquor store.

Hopefully I can track some down, I should be in Alberta next month.

Like I say the homebrewed version was dynamite, and won all sorts of awards at various comps this year.

I feel so spoiled.... Duggan's No. 9 is tasting far richer than Southern Tier IPA... even in the fancy new packaging.

Few bottles of Little Scrapper IPA and a fresh bottle of Old Rasputin. I really wanna age some of this but it's just too nice to allow to sit around for a year or two :wink:

It's good. Grapey. chocolatey, and has an earthy-herbal presence. Not an earth shattering beer but very tasty. Would pair well with biting ants.
