Beer: Thornbridge Coco Cocoa 5.5%
We arrive, check the menu, decide not to eat and leave again.
Waitrose on Marylebone High St seems a better option. We’re all feeling the beer a little and DITHER. Buying an egg sandwich and a random choc bar becomes a bit of a roller coaster. Kind of like Hunter S Thompson, if Hunter S Thompson was a bit tired and tipsy and had gone a half pint over, rather than HST being outrageously “off” on the drugs and firing guns and that.
I scoff the choc just before we get back to The Jackalope, and don’t check the strength of the Coco Cocoa Porter. The recent choc – there are still bits in my teeth – hide the flavour. I have two pints of the stuff, which later reveals itself to be delicious, and about as subtle and nuanced as Fear and Loathing.
