Klingon Beer
An anonymous reader writes: "We may not have Saurian Brandy or Romulan Ale, but we'll soon have Klingon Beer. Tin Man Brewing Company in Evansville, Indiana has gotten the OK from CBS to create 'Klingon Warnog,' a Dunkelweizen with 'a modern aroma [of] predominantly mild banana and clove.' It will have an ABV of 5.5%. The Klingon beer will apparently join Vulcan Ale in the Federation of Beer. I wonder what their Prime Directive is."

Yeah I'll have some fresh Bwock with that
Not that great though.
Thought I saw an energy drink of some kind with the name as well at my local hipster soda shop.
I expect something more like the taste of smoked roasted wild boar and a fine note of decaying fish (SürstrÃming) for the fine taste!
Seriously, they are calling this a "Klingon" beer and it's only 5.5% ABV. This should be in the 9%-10% range at least! And an aroma of cloves and banana!?! Give me a break! It should have a bitter hoppy flavor, maybe with a bit of metallic taste to be reminiscent of freshly spilled blood!
Five point five percent?
This not Klingon beer, humans.
This dilute breast milk.
Surely it should taste of prune's, like a true warrior's drink.

Prune juice....a real warriors drink!!!!
Please state your country, if it's Netherlands your inner organs will rott of Heiniken, if your from Denmark you will transcend into the taste of bad water (Tuborg).
If you are from Belgium, you should choke on Juliper(*) and get a headache from the heavy drop of Duvel.
If you are from Germany your face should implode by the bitter taste of Bitburger, you will piss KÃlsch like an Ebolanian excremates blood.
And thou shall you drown in the same same piss shit Jever, Bitburger, Astra, Karlsquell, Becks, Heiniken, Tuborg ..
Brewed for the masses out of the designer asses!
Kaplach!
(*) It's also sometimes called "Manekin's Piss"

Figuratively of course : P

Seriously, "Dunkelweizen" is just plain wrong, no German would call it that horrendous word.
The proper wording is "dunkles Weizen(bier)" == "dark wheat (beer)".
5.5% is not even strong, that's more on the light side; usally this flavour starts at 5.5%, and no beer has below 5.0%.
7% to 7.5% would be a proper alcohol level!
Please get that at least right.
They used to have Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood wine, among other things.
Sad that a Michael Jackson show replaced the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas. There had been talks of reviving it Downtown, but I guess that never materialized.
Romulan Ale used to exist... It was pretty bad: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/romulan-ale/3372/
Mild banana and clove? If I could edit my last post, I would change from buy' ngop to nuqDaq 'oH puchpa''e'

Ah, but are there gay Klingons? That's the real question.
Those who do study history are doomed to stand helplessly by while everyone else repeats it.
I prefer to wash down my Gagh with Blood Wine.
Dunkelweisen is a beer made with wheat. The reason for the wheat is to make a beer with less of a malty flavor, which means less hops are needed to balance this bland tasteless beer. This is the craft brewers version of light beer. Give me a break.
I wonder; what is the Klingon word for "Reinheitsgebot"?
Blood. Wine.
Blood.
Methinks GP is possibly a UK real ale drinker. However as this new brew is supposed to be a Dunkelweizen he may be pleasantly surprised. It all depends on how heavy they are with the gruit.
"Wait. Something's happening. It's opening up! My God, it's full of apricots!"
The Alamo Drafthouse was serving Klingon Blood Wine during the premiere of the 2009 Star Trek (also Romulan Ale and Raktajino). I wonder if CBS had to license them.
Only available in Canada as per http://www.federationofbeer.com/
Fuck this, where's the tranya?
Speaking of which, why aren't they cleaning up the Borg or Klingons? Their ship makes the Enterprise J look like Fred Flintstone's car.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Seriously, cutting back on the hops and using wheat is just plain wrong, no Brit would call lager beer.
Then again a whole generation has had John Smiths Smooth at knockdown prices in university so when they don't know what real beer is. Bloody yuppie kids.
I'm more of a mead guy, myself.

To get laid.
Fun fact: it won't work.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
That's why we drink it here!
Klingon JACKPOT!!
Just add a little carmel coloring and there you have it.
It's Heineken, you insensitive clod. Not that that makes it taste any better, but we have plenty of perfectly drinkable beers unlike the USA that has a choice between Bud light and Coors, or the Aussies that have to deal with the monopoly of Fosters.....
I was promised a flying car. Where is my flying car?
I forget whether it was 2004 or 2005 but my wife brought me a bottle of Ferengi Eelwasser from the Star Trek exhibition in London. Brewed by Cain's of Liverpool I think.
Because what true klingon drinks beer anyway?
Proof that you don't Have to be American to know nothing about other countries.
(But it helps.)
No brain, no pain.
Wouldn't the prime directive of a Klingon beer be to not drink it with one's enemies?

The past few years have also seen a great increase in microbreweries. Near where I live, there is one that makes some very amazing flavors, and some great full bodied selections. Not everyone in the US drinks Bud Light or Coors.. that stuff you can pour back in the horse!
{} ------ When I think of a good sig, I'll put it here
nonono, beer with aroma anything else than beer, like banana or cherry or shit, is not beer ! Anybody should know this by now.
