[Chirping sounds] Two men journey to the bars and restaurants of Scandinavia to find amazing beers, always with the same question. "Hey, what's on tap?" It's time to find out. "Welcome, it is day 10, and that is really nice." "The damn thing in Christmas, the higher numbers, the longer the song goes." "I know. I don't know why it's nice, it's just because it's another day and we can drink more beer." "That always makes it a nice day." "Yeah." "And you know, these days get shorter and shorter, having more beer makes them a little bit easier to deal with." "The darkness." "It makes the darkness not just leave our soul, but also part of the day is brighter." "Hello darkness, my old friend." "All right, so what are we going to have today?" "I don't know." "I know, we need a big one." "All right, so today we have another Martin beer on day 10, and let's just see what we got." "Well, we'll let you fill in with a lot of rabbit cake for this one." "This is going to be so much fun, and you can fill in with what happens since it looks like." "No, no, no." "It's gonna work." "Well, we're doing chocolate cake stout and milk stout." "Don't say you never treat you to anything nice." "All right, well, I mean, we hope pecans, coconut, dark chocolate, milk sugar, vanilla, with natural flavors added." "So, this is a collab, right, or did I miss?" "It's for well works, it does not look like a collab." "Ah, that was a, like, the symbol of their hometown was a Miss uh, rabbit." "And this comes in at, it doesn't say." "I will Google it, but I'm sure the ABB is not white." "Oh, do we know the vintage? Does it say? Is it 2022?" "I imagine it's one of the latest vineyards." "It could be that old." "Uh, it's not 2020." "No, it has to be. There's like two." "Wait 5.5, that can't be right." "German chocolate cake, what's a milk stout?" "What? It could be." "No!" "No, I'm disappointed immediately." "No, I, I love milk styles. I mean, they can be really good. Milk styles are real crab shoots. Sometimes they can be really good, and sometimes they can be, like, just, watery." "So it used to be 7.4 percent." "Oh, okay." "This looks pretty good." "I don't know what you're worried about, honey. It's gonna be, it's gonna be really nice." "Wow, that foam is, like, disappearing, like, yeah." "It's, it's dissipating really quick. I mean, it's just bubbling away super fast." "Oh, but there is a lot of, there's a lot of going on in the nose." "Okay, so it says 6.3 percent A.D. So it actually doesn't match any of the fintages on a tap." "It needs a neat image." "But the smell is interesting. It is." "Oh, it smells." "Coconut, it's got some-" "It has, yeah, it counts." "It's very nutty around." "This is very, very promising." "But a little buttery almost, kind of like, like, not in a buttery in like a, a good way, kind of like a pastry kind of flavory kind of way." "But I am, like a buttercream frosting kind of way, not a, not like a, a flavor kind of way." "I was so certain this was an imperial stuff. I mean, a thousand percent certain." "Well, I mean, he always looked at the label on it." "Oh, alcohol by 6.3 percent volume." "Varna, the day I received this in an order is the day I wrapped it. I didn't give it a second of thought. I knew it was going to come there." "There is some way you had to look on like a website or something in valid in which you were purchasing, but that technology does not exist." "But you got very nice. As soon as I wrapped it, it disappeared from my mind." "That's true." "I didn't give it a second of thought. Like, it's, it's done. It's almost like it's, it's already tasted because it's locked in." "Well, let's taste this. It smells like anything." "Cheers." "It's pretty good. For the milks now, there's a lot of, a lot of stuff going on here." "Yeah, so I would agree with that. If ever you're going to have a lower A.B.B. start, I think it should taste towards this, uh, type of flavor." "Mm-hmm." "Because I can often be, be really disappointed with, uh, six percent. Let's start." "Well, milk styles are not my favorite style. I usually kind of avoid them because I just find them kind of lacking in flavor and kind of watery." "And if I just want a dark roasted beer, I'd much rather have like a swats by or a, like a dark lager or a Baltic porter or something." "Yeah, you get that." "It's not trying to be a stout. So I usually don't go for milk styles too much. But every once in a while, some people come along and you're like, "Well, because like the B.D.C.S. is that we have, uh, from Ozark Brewing, that's a milk stout, but it's also a imperial." "Yeah." "So they've really jacked up the A.B.B. on that one. But it's still, uh, is it under ten percent? It's like nine percent or something like that?" "So you're the one who's supposed to know." "I, I don't remember, but it's a, it's a really good imperial milk stout." "So what do you think about this one?" "Um, I really like the nut, the pecan flavors. I like the chocolate flavors. I do get the coconut and the adds to it. I think the milk sugar, uh, doesn't do it any favors. Milk sugar isn't my favorite flavor. I think you would agree with me. Um, that like, it's almost like a powdery milk concentrate flavor. You, you wouldn't, you wouldn't eat that powder, but you kind of know that the flavor imparts." "Yeah, I, I find this. There's like a, in the aftertaste, I get a lot of the sweetness, but I also get kind of a dark coffee flavor, which is really really nice. Uh, this was bringing a lot to the table man, and I'm really glad you brought this one. I'm, I'm quite enjoying this. Um, I don't wait, what do you think?" "I could give it a four." "I think I'm gonna give it a four as well. But if it was, if, if this would have been a 12% imperial stout, we would have gone four to five or 4.5. I'm sorry, it didn't have that much, uh, meat sugar." "No, no. I, I think it maybe was an imperial, like you said, milk stout. It probably would have gone a higher. But I think for just your base milk stout, uh, pecan's coconut, dark chocolate, vanilla, I'm getting all of it in there. Uh, I think it's just, it's really, really good." "We, we haven't had a lot of six percent milk stout on the show. I can't imagine." "No. I can't, we don't really cover milk stout very often, so it's kind of fun to try these one on styles." "We usually don't go that far much further, so that, so you, you've been looking for weird Swedish beers, and apparently I've been looking for weird beers from, so Wildworks is a, I would say they're well renowned. We usually drink them when they're 12% monstrosities." "Yeah." "Often brought to us by Pontus, friend of the show. Um, but these weirder, I mean, I would love to try Wildwork Spillsner." "Sure. Um, and what's nice is we don't, you don't really find a lot of milk styles on the shelves. It's not like you can just go to the system, blog it, and find a milk stout because they don't really come up very often. So I, I'm always, you know, excited to try something different. I think that's the fun of the calendar, is to try these, these unusual style or styles that you just don't find that many of that are kind of long offs." "Exactly. Right. I ordered this from a European website." "Okay. Do you want to say, you know, it was beer, republic." "Ah, out of, uh, Netherlands." "I'm guessing they're Netherlands based." "I'm pretty sure. Yeah, this is a pretty good site. They have a lot of, they usually import a lot of US stuff." "So at least, at least one or two other from the site." "Okay. Well, we'll wrap this up then, and we'll see you tomorrow on Day 11." "We will."
