In deference to US tastes I stuck them in the fridge before drinking them. Normally I prefer decent beer at room temperature. These 2 beers were very good, but were considerably better after they'd warmed up a bit. They have a good, full and round flavour. Very enjoyable indeed. Chilling any beer of that type just kills the flavour. You ight as well drink foul swill like Budweiser if you're going to do that. Whisky: cask-strength single malt (preferably Islay), with room temperature spring water, 1:1. :o) -- Cheers, Bob
