Had a new (old) beer yesterday evening, it was one of my local craft brewer (Siren) standard or "core" beers, "Broken Dream" which is a coffee flavoured stout except that rather than carbonating the beer with the usual Carbon Dioxide gas it had been blasted with Nitrogen instead. The effect that this has is to permeate the liquid with really tiny bubbles (CO2 bubbles are much larger) and those bubbles add enormously to the mouth-feel of the beer. It was like thick, unctuous cream and really improved what is already a very good beer (it won the CAMERA 2018 champion beer of Britain award) As you can see from the photo the beer looks like a well made espresso with a perfect caramel coloured "crema"! Whatever will they think of next!
