I was just enjoying some whipped lingonberry-semolina porridge and had this Shepherd Neame Christmas Ale sitting by. Took a swig of the beer in the midst of spoonfuls of porridge. Found that the tastes combined into what very much resembled whiskey!

Just sharing, this might be of interest to more experimentally aligned brewers out there. I’ll try a red ale again someday, might try to put in a careful dose of lingonberry since the interaction was really interesting!
