Sheaf Stout has such an agrarian look and feel to it that you wouldn’t be surprised to see it propping up the entrance to the Stockman’s Hall of Fame. Originally brewed by Tooth & Co, I was somewhat surprised to learn that it is now the property of Carlton United Breweries. It would appear to be in safe hands.
Impervious, ebony black in colour it hold a nice nicotine head. There’s burnt, toasted malt on the nose and a beautiful smokey flavour. There’s hints of cigars and red liquorice, like smoking a Cafe Creme though a Shoe Lace. Of course, there’s lip-smacking malted barley too. A thoroughly authentic and enjoyable stout.

CUB? Sheaf Stout? Interestingly Bear Grylls is Chief Scout – the youngest ever at 35. Time for a sherbet (dib dib dib dab). Ten slit sheets slit by slippery sam the sheet slitting man – must stop now – Univercity Challend is on.
I did my best and got my Chief Scout’s at 16. Too young for a legal sherbert (howzat?). Here’s your starter for ten, do tongue-twisters count when you write them?
Do dung sniffers crunk when who shits them. So yes. Add to that the now famous non silent non existent r in sherbet and i’m in need of a beer myself. Bear Grylls – does he?
A sherbet is one you can’t lose, now i think you might need a whole lower case of beer. Yes Bear does, but does Charles Dance?
Charles – funny name that. I hear Mark Spitz
I heard he swallows. Do Hugh Jackman?
I know Brian Jacks and Tracy Jacks but does Elmer Fudd? Need Roger Moore
Names can be very revealing. Our Environment Minister is called Greg Hunt! And yes, he is.
