Just had a fantastic Saison from @Clint and hoping to make my own soon.

 

[HSD]

Brewferm Belgian Christmas Ale, 10 months bottled and delicious, opening early to check its ok! Strong at 7.5% for me, sweet and malty, chocolate and tiny hint of spice, head didn’t last but very nice worth the wait

Finished an awful set of nights this morning, day off tomorrow so i've had a few this evening, mainly homebrew, however my last two have been a Brewdog Layer Cake, Marshmallow chocolate stout. I'm not usually a big fan of Brewdog beer, I find them over hopped and overhyped mainly, this was quite nice though. Very sweet chocolatey aroma. Washed that down with a Summer Lightning, which never fails to deliver.

I know that feeling, I am on my last night shift myself.... I can taste the beer already.
Sober October is out the window

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m having a beer from @dave_77 but I’ve no idea what it is, there’s no description.

The colour is a gorgeous deep red-brown and the beer is crystal clear. Carbonation is quite soft - the off-white head needed a little height from the pour and then quickly dissipated to a light foam around the edge of the glass. A steady stream of small bubbles kept it going.

The aroma is caramel malt, raisins, and something warm and spicy which I’m guessing is rye.

The flavour is really nice, a little more dry than I’d expected from the aroma. The malt is beautiful and slightly bitter caramel notes shine through. It’s not the same as Hobgoblin (which is quite sweet) but shares enough similarities to remind me of Hobgoblin - a better version of course

I think I drank it too quickly to do it any justice with my description, it was just bloody nice and I want another!

I think it might have been fairly strong too because although I had no clue from the flavour, I can feel the effects - maybe I just drank it too quickly

Dave, I loved this ale, whatever it was!

Hmmm, I would say from the colour it was strong Bitter with EKG & Fuggles fermented with Wyeast Thames Valley. 6% I think I gave you a bottle of American Brown but looks a little light.

It’s not the strong bitter, I still have that. It was this one...

I’m having a Coppernob from Tonbridge Brewery now. Not a very inspiring label but still a nice malty beer.

 

[dave_77]

AHH it was the American brown.it was a little concerned this one may have been on its last legs as I bottled the last from a keg . The picture is the American brown. My shoddy hand writing

Well I’m happy to not be able to read the mnemonic on the cap if the beers taste this good!

Had a day off the beer yesterday so the first a beer is going down a treat. My cream ale with coriander,orange peel and sorachi Ace

 

[micklupulo]

Mangrove Jack's American Pale Ale bottled 25th June so now well matured.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

On the Summer Breeze now. Happy Monday

 

[dave_77]

My Chinook/Idaho7 & Simcoe IPA is maturing nicely after 17 days in the keg

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Wife just managed to throw a chocolate sauce covered churo on the floor - looked like a turd on the carpet! I am cracked up

I know, childish

 

[samale]

Cardamom & coriander SAISON
Flavours are starting to mellow and become more balanced. This finished at 1.004 so it's got a nice dry finish.
7% abv is well hidden. @dave_77 this should be good to post at the end of the month. Carbonation needs to improve slightly

 

[samale]

On to my Simcoe mosaic pale ale. Lovely
I do need to start trying different hop combo's
