Garlic-Flavored Dark Beer

Hey there! Welcome! Wonderful to see you. Cyberspace crowded today, is it? Just wondering because I have to be out there a good part of the day. Now that you're here, slink over to the coffeepot and pour yourself a refreshing mugful. Throw a virtual cheese and garlic biscuit or two onto your plate with your other hand. Now, for the treat of the day: CALLING ALL BEER AND GARLIC LOVERS!

A Japanese company has combined its popular dark beer with the pungent, intense flavor of black garlic, thus creating the unique and rather bizarre Aomori Garlic Black Beer.

Featuring a sleek black label with elegant golden writing, the black garlic-flavored beer bottle – which costs 630 yen ($6.50) – looks very appealing to any avid dark beer lover.

The first sip of Aomori Garlic Black Beer doesn’t taste very different from any other quality black beer, but as the dark goes down your throat and into the stomach, the potent black garlic flavor starts to take over your mouth. Incredibly, those brave enough to actually try the Aomori Garlic Black Beer say the spicy, potent aftertaste is very addictive, making you want to drink more and more of the strange beverage. (Unlike most other beers, eh, where after the first one, you DON'T want more...yeah right!)

Though I'm no longer drinking beer (at least six years now) I can see it being used in, for example, beer-battered chicken or fish, can't you! A little pricy though, what?

See ya, eh!
