Four to enjoy: what to drink this week

Dolce Noir Imperial Stout; White Bay Beer Co; Balmain, NSW; 8%; $15.

What's it going to be then, eh? Sweetness and light or bitter and heavy? Empirical truths or managed reality? Linear timelines or natural rhythms? Regardless, what a time to be alive. We exist at the edge of reality. A golden moment of delicious choice anxiety not entirely exclusive to beers having been brewed inside an incredible period of sustained peace now coming to an end. History is a live event. We're rolling. I need a drink, god dammit. Something strong and bitter, but balanced, blithe and joyful. Enter Dolce Noir - that's Italian/French for sweet black. A Russian Imperial Stout by Balmain brewers White Bay. Warming, blackened-malts beset by dark chocolate, toasted coconut, hazelnuts; heady and heavy, big and rich. Total imperialism. Perfect for this bleak winter.
