Especially these big, thick, creamy beers. I read in one of my beer books that "beer is considered an appetite stimulant" and had to scratch my head. Beer does the opposite for me. It's a meal in a glass. If it's very late at night and I want to sip on something warming, I'll pour small glass of Opal Nera to give my kidneys a rest. I agree about the filling part.

Although, it's not so much the taste of beer that keeps me from enjoying them more - it's that they are so <i>filling!</i> I'm guessing this one falls into that category, too? <br /> <br /> ~ B This sounds like one I should try.
