In Germany (where I was a soldier with much experience
in beer drinking) they have a lager called Dopple
Lager.  Only a little more rude that Christmas Beer;
it is a smoked beer, aged and taken from the bottom of
an undisturbed keg.

The fist swig tastes like acrid smoke, bacon, and
something two weeks dead.  The second swig tastes like
bacon.  The third swig tastes like the richest, most
full-bodied mouth-full of beer you have ever met.  The
fourth, and foregoing swigs are even better.  At this
point you have consumed eleven or twelve ounces of
alcohol; in a mere four swallows.  Each swallow there
after tastes like a gift from the gods.

At the end of the first liter, asphalt will taste
good.  Which is fortunate, as you will be kissing it
regularly an your way back to where you are staying.

Beer tasting can only be done it you are not drinking
it.  A cunundrum at the very least.  If you can stand
drinking it, and it doesn't kill you in the morning,
drink it and rejoice.  This was a day that had beer in
it!
