Off camping tomorrow for a couple of nights on the south downs for a stag weekend so the weekend has started for me.
Just got round to having @matt76 porter, afraid to say it was a little lively and sprayed the kitchen, unusual for you! Got about 2/3rds into the glass and once it settled is very nice. A nice dark chocolate aroma, lots of chocolate and raisin in the flavour, nice probably medium bodied, light enough to have a couple but has a bit of meat on it too. Very nice and thanks for sharing!
First try of the Belgian pale next, it's pretty good I think... don't have much to compare it with but still, am enjoying it.

Was browsing through CML a month ago and discovered all their recipes. Brewed up this one (just needed some of the hops and dextrin malt) https://www.crossmyloofbrew.co.uk/beer-recipes?pgid=krxkwatx-05c8680c-9ce9-4ad3-8793-5c5a352e488d
No finings used but already nice and clear, I brewed it slightly short so it'd fit in a keg(easier than doing the maths!). Last of last years crop of cascade used up too.

Thinking I didn't want a pint I remembered I had @Caramel Ox chili chocolate stout in the shed! Lively as warned but actually once poured the carbonation is fine. Nice malty aroma, reckon I can smell the chilli too. Flavour is lovely, malty, smooth, bitter but not overly so with a slight burn from the alcohol. Don't get much chilli in the flavour but I've really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing!

Bass Pale Ale Clone a bit thin will remedy the next batch with some body building grain.
Boston Bitter my favourite session beer.
Finally my ESB still needs more time to hit it's mark

At Moot brewery tap room having a pint of Kapa Pale Ale.
At Musket Brewery tap room now having a Fife & Drum in the scorching sun. Mexican food night here a bit later.
The local bar/bottle shop has got a new selection of German lagers in, so I duly obliged.
Starting off with a Weiherer Hell.

Happy Friday folks.
This is my Rye-ish Red Ale. It’s only been in keg for a week but tastes great. I substituted in some Chocolate Rye, dropped the overall % of crystal malts but went with higher EBC‘s. Very happy with the changes.
Just needs a couple of weeks to settle and it’ll be a belter.

A rather nice Côtes du Rhône, classic blend of Grenache & Syrah.
St. Georgen Pilsner
Sticking with the rye theme, I’d one of these lurking at the back of the beer fridge.
A Punk IPA accompanied with a Glenlivet Founders reserve.
Late to the thread with my two penn'orth.
My student flatmate lived on, and was the son of an egg 'farmer' farm near Newbury.
He said they could make the yolk and shell ANY colour they liked with the correct chicken feed ingredients.
The only thing they couldn't do was to prevent 'odd shapes' and multiple yolks in young layers.
Hence when he returned from a visit to his home farm we (5 lads) had a gross of misshapen multi-yolked eggs.
Oh, and a barrel of his brother's home brew beer.
An enjoyable, sessionable, straight-forward simple clean ale.
Sometimes I think we forget these simple things in our strivings to make 'great beer'.
I'll get my coat....
A first draw tester of my most recent brew.
A darkish hoppy bitter.
Not so dark perhaps, but the hops and long lasting malt flavours are amazing.
Problem is, I'm going to have to share this in a week or three at a family BBQ gathering 'chez nous' .
Good thing I have 20L between 2 casks in the garage.
Hope it lasts that long.......

Back at the Lodge near Machynlleth and just had this. Not bad but a tad weak.
A few beers in and we’ve had everything on the menu. I’m starting again with chilli nachos (and another beer).
The suns gone, but I’m still cooking on the barbie. Limeburner next.
