Yes, thank you, but I chose to ignore it.   Any spare time in York is going to be spent in a traditional Yorkshire environment. That signifies a pub, with a glass of ale or stout.   Actually, I prefer British beverages to anything the Greeks produce.  Well, at least when I am in Britain. Single Malts, Guinness and ales are what I am looking forward to.      

Ouzo, raki and Amstel belong on Crete, and I once had an experience in a Greek restaurant in London that made me very cautious of visiting one again. It's a story including two German hippy-girls, a bad case of Bistromathics (see Douglas Adams) and it is too extended to be told here.     It will appear in my memoirs.

  Lets not derail this tread, shall we?

The chocolate porter sounds interesting......  

Thanks for the invitation. Unfortunately, I will not make it to Manchester this time, so I have to see what I can find in York. Have you got any labels to sugest?

Toma,

Make it a bit easy on Chris.  
Suggest to make a preselection first.  

Make your choice

A bit curious, it boils down now  

A goat, beer and chocolate and still feeling young.  

Take notice of the logo and the name of the brewery!

The Black Sheep is already on my list.   But thanks anyway. I appreciate your concern for my welfare.  

The other day, I caught myself eagerly devising plots designed as excuses for moving some of the work out of the auditorium and into the Public House.   When I realized what I was doing, I had to admit to myself that this beer tread is actually influencing my thinking. Scary!

Black Sheep, Riggwelter (England)
The name is Yorkshire dialect for a sheep that has rolled onto its back and cannot get up again - perhaps a veiled warning about this beer's strength. Riggwelter pours a very dark chocolate, almost black colour with a cream-coloured head that is quite dense. On the nose lots of toast, roasted aromas and chocolate malt, with a little citrussy note peeking through. On the palate it is a medium-bodied beer, with plenty more dark, espresso and roasted barley flavours, and a dry, savoury character. Hops are minimal, though there is a juicy acidity to keep it fresh. A bright and crisp style of stout-like dark beer. 5.7% ABV, 50cl, £1.79, down to £1.34

Riggwelter must come from Nordic. It is not a Norwegian word any more, but if it was it would be spelt “ryggvelter” (rygg = back and velte = fall over). I think I will add it to my Norwegian vocabulary as a description of a person who is liable to roll over on his/her back……and as a description of a very strong drink.

You gave an experts description of it, so I am realy looking forward to tasting Black Sheep's Riggwelter.
