FANTASY BEERS

MEREKKA'S CELESTI ALE
Merekka says, "I do have an idea for ale. I was thinking of a blue ale, shot wtiny balls of lightning, and it's mixed with dust from meteors. And it has a full-bodied, fruity flavor, with a dash of tangy electricity."
Merekka says, "And it's called Celesti Ale."

Merekka recites:

    "You see a thick blue ale with star-like balls of whitish lightning orbiting within.  Its full-bodied fruity flavor is intermingled with the tang of electricity. Mixed with meteor dust, this truly deserves the name of Celesti Ale."

Merekka says, "It can be made in various berry ales."


ASTRU'S WINTERBERRY SOUR BEER
(Astru brings out a small tray with a sampling of light red beer.)
Astru softly says, "Here is my Winterberry Sour Beer."
Astru softly says, "I used some wild yeast that I cultivated in the jungle of River's Rest."

Astru softly says, "And of course, I added some winterberries for their tartness as well."

Astru softly says, "But you may also pick up some floral hints since I added some flaming violet."



SWEETSIN'S COFFEE STOUT
Sweetsin asks, "What about a coffee infused stout?"

Sweetsin says, "The aroma is a big whiff of coffee with dark chocolate, roasted malts, and earth. The taste is dark chocolate and coffee followed by some roasted malts. Earth and bitter dark chocolate at the end. Coffee finish. Light and velvety mouthfeel."

"It would be dark and rich muddy."

Sweetsin says, "You take a drink from your coffee infused stout the aroma rises up to give you a big whiff of coffee with dark chocolate, roasted malts, and earth."

Sweetsin says, "You take a drink from your coffee infused stout the taste of dark chocolate and coffee followed by some roasted malts gives your tongue a thick coat."

FUIL'S HEARTY WINTERBERRY STOUT
Fuil recites:

    "I propose a hearty winterberry stout.
     You see small round snifter filled with a dark stout. Small ice crystals glisten in the froth.
     You carefully avoid the froth but feel the effervescence on your nose when you whiff. Smells like tundra-grass molasses.
     Sweetness from the winterberry balances the bitterness of frost-flower and cooling wintergreen. The finish of smoked arctic moss leaves you wanting another sip."
Sweetsin says, "Now it would come in a bottle, that is reusable of course."


MADALINA'S WINTERBERRY-INFUSED HARD APPLE CIDER
Madalina recites:

    "I made a tall rounded glass of winterberry-infused hard apple cider"

Madalina recites:

    "As you take a sip of the crisp and refined cider, the full-bodied sweetness of perfectly ripened and fermented dessert apples sparkles across your palate, subtly infused with a brightening splash of tart winterberry juice."


    "Dry and flavorful with a sweet finish, the hard apple cider washes across your tongue, releasing the full-bodied sweetness of perfectly ripened dessert apples, while the subtlest hint of tart winterberry juice caresses your taste buds."

KALDONIS'S WINTERBERRY LAGER
Kaldonis:
    "So imagine a lager that probably a halfling father might drink while sitting around the house"
"That kind of lager that's exported and shouldn't be, but is smooth to drink"
 "Now take that kind of lager and give it a flavor, like some hops and winterberry, it will be delicious"
    "So I think we could use a winterberry lager"

DWI'S TRIPLE ERITIHIAN ALE
"Bitter assa elf wit no ears, Black assa frost giant's heart, served inna brandy snifter, dis ale gots hints o' tar, walnuts, anna brioled trout.  When it comes to the hops, howe'er, der aint no hinting at all...Blatently hoppy. An acquired taste.  Oh, n' maybe a winterberry."

"Dis describes Triple Erithian Ale."

Dwi heartily says, "Made wit tree time the hops anna lil bit o jasmine leafs...."

TALINVOR'S JUNGLE STAMINA
Talinvor wryly says, "I call this blend, "Jungle Stamina"."
Talinvor says, "This is a dark ale with a frothy head that is served in a half-shell coconut cup."
Talinvor says, ".. the scent of rum and hops fill your nose as the strong brew practically foams over the edge of the cup."
Talinvor says, "The undertone of vanilla, and coconut adds to the warm flavor of rum within the hops, giving it almost a dessert like quality."

Dwi heartily asks, "Wot? no lil umbreller?"


MEREKKA'S BILBERRY LAGER
Merekka recites:

    "I propose a warm bilberry lager. A whitish-gold lager--like sunlight on snow-- this drink smells of hops, nuts, and smoke, while the flavor is that of blackberries, walnuts and tart, tangy apples."

    "It's smooth and soft in the mouth, like the most delicate of silk. The flavor is sweet, but biting, like a kiss with a sharp nip."


WHISP'S ROWAN CUP CIDER
"Your hands begin to warm up as the heat from your libation seeps through the rowan wood cup. As you bring it to your lips gentle notes of fermented pear and dark spiced rum give you a hint of what is to come. Sipping it brings a deeper note of crab apple and then the unexpected jolt as the rum does it's work. A sense of home and warmth settles upon you as the slightest waft of cinnamon and clove dances across your palate."
Talinvor asks, "So a pear cider of some sort, infused with rum?"
Whisp says, "Yes. Pear and Crab apple. I forgot to say tart with the crab apple."




FREBBLE'S BLOOD-ORANGE INFUSED CIDER
"It's for another cider. A blood orange infused apple cider"

You recite:

    "This would be a pinkish-orange cider, thick and viscous. Brewed with blood orange concentrate so that you can't even taste the apple, as the sweet orange overwhelms this delicious, boozy drink, which tastes similar to a fizzy white wine with orange juice cocktail."

You say, "I'd put it in a bottle, so you can hit miscreants like Dwi when you're done drinking."
Kaldonis says, "Ah like a mimosa then."
You say, "Aye, served definitely cold."



FUIL'S BUTTER BEER
Fuil says, "I propose a warm mug of butter-beer."
Fuil says, "The rich froth makes the shape of a crescent moon, hinting at what is inside."
Fuil says, "Thicker than most beers, you almost want to chew the cinnamon and nutmeg infused brew. The butter coats your tongue limiting the hint of acantha leaf bitterness."
Fuil says, "The bear leaves you with a sense of well-being."
Fuil says, "You tip your mug back getting all of the winterberries that had settled to the bottom in your mouth. As you chew the moonshine-soaked berries, you realize the potency of the moonshine is still quite present. You are stunned."


SWEETSIN'S KITTEN BLOOD BEER
Speaking to you, Sweetsin says, "Its that Kitten Blood Beer."
Sweetsin says, "You take a drink from your skinny mug the thick blood character is pronounced up front but slowly fades behind a pithy bitterness and a touch of malt sweetness. Meow."
Sweetsin says, "You take drink deeply from your skinny mug with the  big swallow. Simple and esotery with hints of woody, bloody, and herbal hop. Light on carbonation and body."
