Orkney Island Brewery Skullsplitter Ale
This beer is a real slap to the face – so, I guess it justifies its name. The aroma is hearty, but not repulsive. The taste, however, is reminiscent of dog jerky. This is similar to a recent tasting, in which we tasted a porter-gone-bad. I feel like this is a genre that I can never fully appreciate, and I’ll be surprised if I ever find someone who can. Furthermore, if I find this person, I’ll likely write them off as ‘enemy’ for the rest of my days. Don’t buy it. Don’t even let someone give it to you for free. And, don’t drink any of it unless someone pays you at least $10. Hell, it costs a lot – who’re they kidding?
