*Karen’s mum got me 6 bottles of beer for Christmas. I’m going to review them all. If I remember.* Now that my sense of smell has returned, I am going to resume this little project. I had a bottle of Black Sheep last week but realised halfway through my first mouthful that I couldn’t taste […]
*This is a companion piece to a similarly-themed article on Karen’s site which, all things being equal, should be published at roughly the same time.* Santa Claus is a big pile of bollocks.
