Beer – #59 – Eagle vs Dog Episode 2 Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster

Yes “Eagle vs Dog Episode 2 Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster” Which is brewed by the Golden Eagle Brewery, in the old school style of a Brown Ale in Rolleston, New Zealand. Now Andy Capp used to drink Brown Ale…..

Born from a melding of cultures whilst on the run from the Vogon fleet. Utilising brewers born under the Long White Cloud and St George’s Cross. Incorporating German, English and Canterbury malts, lashings of New Zealand and American hops, shaken not stirred Christchurch artesian water and a well bred American yeast. Ideal after a meal at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Cheers, Sean and Dave.

So a 500ml of 7.5% ABV beer with a novella of a label ….. This is a Beer. Smells like a Beer. Looks like a Beer. pours like a beer. Honest to goodness beer.

It’s dark like a stout, and a nice head of foam, only a slight bitter hop on the aroma. It’s looks the part.

This is, I have to say, a barnstormer of a good beer, it’s got taste for Africa. I got Coffee, Malt, chocolate, I’m still getting it, this is a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster of a a beer. It has a sweet bitterness and lots of depth. I am impressed. I am however easily impressed.

You know, from my previous musings that I like the Epicurean Coffee and Fig, I’d like to be able to afford of having a taste-off with this. Sponsorship welcome.

Golden Dog make that totally awesome Apache Amber that made me all gooey.

This is the equal to any good stout / brown ale that I’ve had. It’s a lazy 9 from 10 – on the pdubyah-o-meter and it arbitrary scale of things. Show me a better beer. Every mouthful is a joy and a journey, I think I’m in love.
