What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[obscure]

Local homebrew store opened back up today so just picked this porter up with extra malt to make it a little stronger, want to do a peanut butter porter but not sure how I'd get the flavour...

Good choice I did that one straight with no additions about a year ago, it’s one of the best kit brews I ever made.

I‘ve just finished brewing for the day so am having a pint of my Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild Clone, after four weeks in the bottle it’s really hit it’s stride. Rich and malty, at 5.4% it’s a little lower than it was supposed to be, but still happy with it.

I tried a bottle of it a few weeks ago, and am now reminded why it’s generally a good idea to condition for a few weeks as it is significantly improved on the initial sample.

Drinking a Belgian pale ale with Brett from @strange-steve. What a beautiful deep orange colour and a nice white head that stuck around well. The Brett is expressing itself as a slightly tart fruitiness which is great. Really interested to see if it gets funkier in the second bottle which I will age for a while. Carb level is right on, nice and high which is right for the style. A comparison with Orval is inevitable, I think this is definitely on a par with some bottles I’ve had. It might be a little sweeter, I’m not sure if that’s the Brett or a little bit of caramel from the malt. A lovely beer as always, thanks Steve. Looking forward to the second bottle in a few months (I have to wait that long really don’t I?!)

Drop of old crafty hen, bottle neck says "Dark & Malty" that could of easily described me, until yesterday after having 8 days off work.

How do they get this so malty. It’s lovely stuff.

Decoction maybe, only done a single decoction once on my imperial pils it certainly improved the flavour, but I am nowhere near an expert, so, could be something else

 

[prog99]

I assume so. I've come close before.

My daughter decided to wake me at 6.30 and we are still on the sofa watching pepper pig, don't think I will be moving soon.

@Leon103 and @dan125 a great beer chat night. Lots of great ideas and knowledge shared. And leon is right it did get a bit messy in the end. My head was less than perfect this morning. But thankfully it was part sorted by a good fry up this morning.

Glad you liked the beers chaps.

SWMBO went shopping today for the first time in 5 weeks and came back with a selection of beers (she got the groceries too) so I first had an Abbots IPA then a Shipyard APA, Adnams Ghost Ship IPA, another Shipyard a Simcoe APA (homebrew), Ditto, Ditto and finishing of with a Carlsberg pilsner to remind me that I should have got of my fat hairy ar5e and got another homebrew (don't judge folks).

Broken Dream from Siren, a gorgeous Breakfast Stout. Just the words "Breakfast Stout" cheer me up.

Strange at my age the words 'no I haven't got a headache' cheer me up

I used to do breakfast stout before it got hijacked as a beer style

I'm on the (ever diminishing) BenRomach single malt now. Reminds me of home even if it was mothballed when I was growing up there.
Need to stock up which is hard when you do your shopping in scotland at 8am.
