What are you drinking tonight 2020.

To make it a hat trick of guest HBs from different brewers I'm now having this salted caramel chocolate porter from @Fuzzy Growler
It's got a very inviting roasty chocolate aroma and is caramelly sweet in the flavour
Very cleanly fermented for 6.8%
A little bitterness to balance.
Really enjoying this - something I'm very unlikely to brew myself but great to have a pint to try. Thanks for sending :hat:

Nice one Dan glad you enjoyed it, maybe less sweet next time though

Made a wine for the wifey today, now watching footy with a my Trillium sleeper street clone

Yeah it is a bit sweet... what was the FG?
And I agree that a little less sweetness would make it a real winner, but I also expected a bit of sweetness in a caramel choc porter and wouldn't want it too dry.

The FG finished quite high @ 1.030
(I feel a lesson coming on)

Someone has put the idea of a sweet stout in my head

QC on the citra Saison...bottled three weeks. Dry,great carb and clear. Getting the citra but needs a bit longer for the Saison tartness to develop...it's good already though..a thirst quencher!

Brew Dog Barnard Castle Eye Test (6%)

I missed the initial release of this so only just received it this week. For the price it’s a pretty respectable hazy IPA lots of flavour and easy to drink.

Wow. The OG must have been massive ?
What did you use for the salted caramel and chocolate?
It could well have finished that high if there were lots of unfermentables

1.082 yeah I used chocolate powder so guessing they'll be lots of unfermentables

No it’s not

 

[Brasseur français]

Well I was thinking I was going to be drinking one of these

But when you live in rural france and word gets out that lidl does a selection of British Ales it sells out fast so its back to the homebrew.

You had a lucky escape!
There's nowt there you can't brew yourself...

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Oh my.... This is something totally different and special, it pours thick almost like melted chocolate, it tastes like chocolate, it's so rich but silky smooth, it's like drinking that soft center inside a Chocolate truffle, no sign of the 11% abv

That sounds brilliant, specking of strong beer has anyone heard from @Oneflewover
He most of put the rubber sheet on the bed just incase

I know. But I need a reference point to know that my beer tastes OK. All I can buy here is europ*ss.

Its a warmish night here so went with my Zeus dry hopped pale ale. Lovely.

Yes, had a chat earlier. He’s ok - probably!

Having to share with the wifey as 500ml is too much richness
