yow

[Phil Carmody]

Not that it's really important, but I notice that M-x yow
always returns the same quotation. Is that a bug, or am
I doing it wrong?

Saaremaa Tume, Left Hand Milk Stout, and Slaapmutske Tripel,

You're lucky you didn't get both the logs from the debugging
runs from my latest number-crunching code, and also some
veeeeery off-topic statements destined for IRC.

I need to work out which window's which, and when I've done
that, I'll get the post to the right newsgroup.

Sorry!

Saaremaa Tume, Left Hand Milk Stout,

Coincidentally, I bought one of those recently. Haven't opened it yet;
I've been drinking bocks lately, of course. What's it like? Does it
really taste of milk?

At the festival in Amsterdam, I hope. The Cracked Kettle has just
received a large order of bocks...

Not at all. The 'milk' in the name is because some of the
fermentable sugars in the wort were lactose. Normal brewing
yeast can't ferment that, so it remains in the final beer.
So it's sweeter and more full-bodied than it would be if the
sugars had been fermented. More calories too, but I don't
recommend combining the habits of calorie counting and beer
drinking, unless you're actively aiming for high numbers.
In the UK it's no longer legal to call such a stout a "milk"
stout. I think "sweet stout" is the prefered name.

Is it possible to get more OT?

Now where are KT and CBF when you need them???

No, at home. I don't drink and drive, and I'd have to to get home.

I see.

Yes (though, admittedly, not much): beer is good for when the
programming has got too much to handle
