With a view like that I'd be hard pressed to get any work done. Pour yourself a beer man!
First time I've ever had a Kveik beer, very nice it is, smooth and easy drinking

Good man
Wy3522 is a great yeast, one of my favourites for Belgian pale ales but it works really well in lots of styles and I'm sure it'll make a good dubbel. It's probably on the cleaner end of Belgian strains if that's what you're after. My goto yeast for most Belgian brews though is WLP530, the Westmalle strain. It's hardy, reliable, and has a really nice flavour profile which is easy to manipulate with temperature control.

Good stuff I did get a look at your dubbel recipe. The plan is a dubbel, treble, quad and a stout. The treble and quad will be only 10 litre brews. Just doing a load of research at the minute.Good man

Having another Harlequin, I quite enjoyed it!

I must send you up a beer if your up for a swap. I have a cardamom & coriander saison fermenting or maybe my raw oatmeal stout, or my take on @Pennine imperial stout.That sounds like a great plan and either Wy3522 or WLP530 will work great
Drinking @matt76 #50 styrian wolf golden ale.
A really strong piney aroma on the pour, good thick creamy head, well carbed. Perfectly carbed I think.
Colour, golden, unfortunately I poured yeast in which makes it look lazier than it should be.
Taste, citrus, but not overly so, totally different to the aroma which initially was a suprise but nice. A little bit of maltiness, slightly bready perhaps? I'd say on the higher end of hop bitterness for the style but certainly not overpowering with a medium body.
I like a pale ale, and I like this one, I could certainly see myself sinking many of these on a sunny summer afternoon in a beer garden. This is a very good beer matt, sorry that I've made it hazy with a bad pour.

2nd @matt76 ale of the night, #54 rainy days hazy ipa.
What a different beast to the last one.
Big thick creamy head, perfectly carbed again in my opinion, looks hazy, grapefruit juice esque.
Aroma, initially less of an aroma than the pale, however as it warms theres a definite citrus, tropical fruit aroma and as it warms it gets more intense.
Taste, a barrage to the senses, high hop flavour and very bitter, very little sweetness but the bitterness doesnt linger for long. Quite a dry finish.
Medium bodied again I'd say, very dificult to judge how strong this is, I mean, I read the bottle top so I know its 5.5% but I reckon this could be anywhere from about 4-8%.
This is another lovely beer, it reminds me of one of the thornbridge ales. It's not my favourite style of beer, but it is to the style and a lovely beer. I reckon
if you like hazy ipa's you'll love this one

"Wheal Rose Baltic Porter" by @pilgrimhudd
First Impressions - Decent head on pouring and a thin head remains; good lacing
Colour - Looks black, but actually a very deep reddish brown.
Aroma - Malty, and I swear I'm getting a hint of treacle.
Carbonation and mouthfeel - Well carbonated, medium mouthfeel.
Taste - Really nice dark caramelized flavours, like almost-burnt toffee, plus a hint of liquorice.
Overall - This is a nice beer at the more drinkable end of the spectrum for this style. I shall await @pilgrimhudd 's verdict on my own recent interpretation of the style!
