Id Software would be proud: Quad-Damage!

As soon as you open the bottle you can smell this beauty.

Malty as fuck.

You think to yourself: A beer with such high percentage of alcoholic volume it will rip your socks off and feed them back to you through your mouth. Well, it does, but in a sexy, smooth way. It sits on your tongue as if it was on a vacation; Enjoying every moment and meeting and greeting each taste bud, wowing each and everyone of those little buds.

Great, smooth and jizzable.

There is not much nose to this, so I feel that it's more of a "Get-it-in-your-mouth" Beer. Obviously don't smash it like a can of Harn-Ice, but more enjoy each well measured-by-the-tilt sip. I live hyphens. However, leaving it to sit after a few minutes from your first couple of sits is imperative. This is where the flavours all come out to play (like Loki). You have menacing sweetness with a overture of quality bitter. I feel confused after each sip, as they are all reacting differently.

The smell I mentioned before reminds you that it's a high percentage beer. Arid and eye watering (a little bit). The golden-brown evils that seep its way out of this contrasted bottle are a little unbelievable. It's so full of flavour that somewhat can be explained but is welcomed by my body.

The presentation and colour of the beer is murky like water in India, but is perfect like the Women in Germany (the ones that bring you beer). Not even half-way down the glass of dreams i'm feeling change in the mind. It's making me want to get something to eat, but nothing so substantial. I honestly feel, coming from a seaside, I would love to taste octopus tentacles and crab meat with some beetroot puree and mango relish/chutney. Yeah, but It's not going to happen for me here in London. So, i've got some cheap chocolate. It does well, but nowhere near.

When you get a little ballsy, you take the bigger swig and understand the overwhelming power of this quad-fist-beer. A quadruple will get you. The high is mellow, smooth and exciting. It's excelling my dopamine and releasing some much needed serotonin to give me this grin so uncontrollable. Still sweet and malty, completely enjoyable and making me want to sing along to J5. This is a happy beer and it's all welcome to the cheer.

I've recently gotten back into drinking quality beer and it's ruined my taste for any draught beer in pubs. So, be warned, you'll hate normal and crave quality-unique. So, head down to your local boutique beer garden and get a stein of real shit and hit it in concession. Or keep reading my notes and enjoy with recommendation.

Enjoyed all the way down the glass. Don't underestimate the power of this drop. Because if you drink too much you will, er', drop. Party drink for sure! Get some!

Intoxicationator: 2-3 for yo' party!

Dangerscale: 80/100

"I got fragged by this killer."

Song Listened too whilst consumed: "Great Expectations - Jurassic 5."

Enjoy Responsibly (or not).

Deadly People feat. Busy P vs NME. Lore in LDN

KOKO Housed Deadly People Feat. Busy P vs Club NME. Deadly People, London, hosted a fantastic mixture of experiences for the packed crowd that filled the auditorium theatre.

Logo Switched it up and tuned in the mood for the hungry dancers. Logo was providing the works of what was about to come. Keeping it simple and winding up the tempo in calm and automated succession; it rose to a plateau, ready for the next show. This show was truly to impress.

Carte Blanche, DJ Mehdi and a DJ Riton were welcomed upon the stage by adoring fans an the oblivious. Hands rose as their black and white banners dropped, revealing negative-tone portraits of them selves. clearly distinguishing their skin colour – in a non-racial way – it complimented their act in a nice artistic yin and yang. Carte Blanche switched the mood and without any warning plugged some grooves and moves that lifted the floor. People cheered and encouraged the duo to act like excited children; laughing and playing around, showing that they were having fun, which inevitably energised the crowd.

Famous for their shows, Carte Blanche pulled out another trick in their entertainment hat. Two dancers in appropriate uniform to the duo entered the stage on roller-skates, fuelling entertainment; satisfying the senses of the whole crowd. They were agile and never failed a smile on a fans face. They danced on stage bringing out simple and classic moves to inspire those who wanted to bust-a-move. Wielding flags, and rolling about with ease on stage the music was perfectly party. The wonderful show from the dancers and the deadly duo Carte Blanche was exciting and was a fantastic performance; without a doubt agreed by all who experienced it. The dancers joined C.B. side by side on stage, all grooving and showing people how they have fun.

Without mention or obvious entrance, Busy P flailed the arms of Dj Mehdi and Dj Riton as if they were heavy-weight boxing champions into the air, and the cheers, shrieks of excitement and the fitting "WTF?'s" filled the air. Busy P, Pedro Winters, had busted onto the set and in an odd way finished C.B.'s show perfectly and in a way how it should be done. The banners disappeared and lights dimmed, however, the peoples anticipation for the father of dance did not.

Upon his informal entrance, Busy P showed his dedication to what he does. People are patient and like to see artists prepare, and this is what he showed. "Busy P, WTF?" He begun his set with this sample in digitalised distortion; with such repetition it then provided the tempo for his inaugural song. He tuned in his set, he opened up his case of music and carefully scanned over to familiarise himself with his collection so when it came time to mix he could do this with ease. I suppose this is what makes a great artist/showman. Busy P has a fine reputation and many know how good he really is.

Until you've actually seen him in real life and as close as I got, then you really understand the fantastic vibe you get from this industry giant. Busy P then got busy with the show. Playing wonderful soul and dance tunes; he reset the mood and shaped the crowd how he wanted them. And he did. The people didn't care for the general tunes, but were eager for Busy P's experience. And this is what he provided: The experience. Observing the crowd, not one had a frown, but smiles and some were into it so much that they closed their eyes and trusted the people around them to support their feeling. Needless to say, they did and the crowds vibe was fantastic, energising, and positive.

Overall, the night was fantastic and couldn't have been bettered. This is all thanks to the Ed Banger, Deadly People and NME crews and of course the eager fans and club scensters. A show to be happy with and a show if missed to be jealous of.

I thought I'd also add that it was DJ Mehdi's last show. Mehdi died at 34 years of age after falling form the roof in Paris. It was an honour to shoot his last official show. This article is in respect to the Ed Banger tragedy. He will be missed. I hope that people enjoy the photos.
