This beauty has been eyeing me up for months. Every time I walked past the fridge, she would whisper “take me I’m yours”. How have I resisted for so long? Tonight I caved in. A tick is a tick after all.

So this angel fell into my arms for the princely sum of 16 Ringgits. Cheap by any standards in this part of the world, but I can picture the reaction in a Yorkshire pub ... I’ll be ‘avin thee lad, three quid for a bottle of whippets piss!! That just about sums it up really.

Maybe I’m being unkind. I’ve had worse, much worse than this, but it brought back many unpleasant memories. 100% single malt? What’s that all about ? I feel really deflated.

Remember the graffiti on the back of 1980’s toilet doors? ... “There I sat broken hearted, paid my penny but only farted”. That’s how it feels. My beer has let me down.

I’d love to say that there was “nice bitterness” but I can’t even write that. I’d put it back in the fridge, but then people would think I was weird.

I need a pint of Stormaktsporter to take the taste away but I’d settle for disinfectant. It’s ok ... Trump said it was fine. Kills all known germs, bad tastes and all that. What could possibly go wrong?
