What about the beer?
Colour is black with a thin beige crown. Aroma has charred-roasted malts, black coffee and chocolate. Taste bites first with charred roast. Charred malts and strong dark-roasted coffee dominate the taste with a twist of cocoa. Some chocolate and malty sweetness come slowly through. Towards the end sweet spicy bitterness and warming alcohol show up. Aftertaste has bitter chocolate and alcohol.

They call this Breakfast Stout - this would really be an awakener. Where the hell do beer styles get named? And who the hell gives names to beers? No chaos present here, just smooth, harmonic and delicious taste. Charcoal in the beginning, followed by coffee, chocolate and bitterness. Damn beautiful this is.

Sorry. Sex Pistols answered: "No. It's not anarchy in the UK when it's Anarchy from the UK." The chaos was so well hidden in the brew that we'll select a "nice" punk song here. I think that in the brewery they already know that their enemy is tasteless and uninspiring beer. At least they brew the other kind.

From the 2009 album 21st Century Breakdown, the song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool.
