"So what is it called?" - simple enough question, but not one I had really considered.
"What is what called?" - you can see my intuitive faculties aren't particularly sharp when I have had a few.
"Your beer, what are you going to call it?" - looks of impatience abound.
"erm...dunno" - great conversationalist me, eh?
So what will I call my first beer? Assuming of course that it isn't some foul tasting disaster. As Loyd Grossman would say when presenting Through the Keyhole, let's look at the evidence:
- based on a dark mild extract
- I used muscovado sugar
- I added (hopefully) smoky flavour and aroma
- fermented using Scottish ale yeast
Some thoughts for names:
- Depths of Darkness
- Highland Speakeasy
Any other suggestions?

Sorry, been reading too much Dr. Seuss lately
Not bad - especially given the paucity of the batch. One good session and it'll be gone, thus making the slurring of the name less of an issue. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's drinkable.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the names I considered for mine.
Or maybe something like "oh, that's not bad!"?
ReplyDeleteThe Sci-Fi Nerd in me is responsible for this, still I like it.
ReplyDeleteHow about: "Experimental Dark Matter"
I like that big time!
ReplyDeleteAnd the tech geek no doubt loves shortening it EDM.
Unfortunately the surveyor in me can't see past "Electromagnetic Distance Measurement" :D
ReplyDeleteIn my line of work EDM means the eminently unsexy Electronic Document Management.
