On this, a sad anniversary for some, I have a beer sufficiently solemn in appearance, I assume, but with an attitude of fun and thinking towards the future. Another stout from La Mundial, and a little closer to home, Oso Brew's Livin' La Vida Coco is the drink of the night. One might argue that a morning 20 years ago was the beginning of an age of normalized craziness in life, at least in life related to the US. A little additive of a tropical bent, lending some calm and encouragement to sit back and quietly let yourself experience existence, might be just the thing we need. Hell, you don't even need a terrorist attack for that, but it's a very convincing excuse. At least it was for ol' W.
Dark beige head and dark brown beer, and a scratchy, not quite sweet aroma. The head descends, but only slowly, maybe allowing more tropical hints to escape as it fizzes away. The flavor captures the feeling of coconut, a very natural seeming one at that, with the flavor that is mildly sweet but without extra sugar or syrup. The beer also has a very thick feel to it, although it isn't sticky at all. It's a very easy drink, sliding right down, leaving a tiny bit of smoky bitterness in its wake. It's similar to the birra colada, actually, although it's a little bit darker and heavier in taste. It's the midnight version, while Bee Beer has an afternoon delight.
Price: €7.50
