What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Mrhandsome]

Also having Brewdog Fake Empire. I dunno.... it's got the Brewdog signature taste but also a bit sour, different anyway and a nice buzz at just over 6%.

I got more into it the more I had, I often find that with sours.

I know what you mean, you get used to the sourness the more you drink it. I'm still not entirely sold on sours but it did make a nice change.

Behind the door of no.10 today, Fake Empire.

Not sure this morning when I read the description but I like this. Like drinking Tangfastics.

Starting out with this one, it’s fullers and I haven’t been disappointed by them yet. It’s much bitterer than I was expecting. Has a really nice malt and dark candi syrup aroma and dare I say a hint of barn, maybe fuggles. It’s very malty but the bitterness overwhelms it quickly. It reminds me a bit of arrogant ******* with fuggles instead of chinook. Very good.

Edit looks like they use goldings which is a bit surprising.

Just remembered I had three more beers earlier after my fake empire... (I'm on annual leave so day drinking whilst wrapping presents).

The first one was way overcarbed and practically jumped out of the can, I managed to pour about a 5th of the can before the head reached the top of the glass. Tasted of fizzy water and at 3.7% I didn't think it was worth the effort so I chucked it.

Then I had a Northern Monk Great Northern Lager. Very nice, lots of honey notes, malty and a tiny bit fruity. Quite a thick mouthfeel too I thought

And lastly a Bad Co 03_19 off-tempo tropical IPA. Malty, earthy, low bitterness, fizzy, a bit of white wine aroma and flavour, slightly fruity but only just. Definitely not tropical

Yeah 2 good, 1 mediocre, 1 for the sink.

Back on it tomorrow, I've got the arduous task of making room in my fridge to cold crash my IPA.

Door 10 - 500ml of foreign extra stout @7.5% with maple syrup, cinnamon and hazelnut.
Thank goodness the cinnamon is almost undetectable but it still tastes like its been dosed with artificial flavour extracts
Would have preferred the plain stout tbh

I’m joining you with your Citra/Mosaic DIPA. The carbonation is fine despite not forming a frothy head (I think you said it was keg conditioned?). Very fruity aroma and flavour which is also a bit pithy from the hefty hoppage! Quite assertive bitterness probably also driven by the big hop additions. A little sweet malt at the end. I enjoyed it but yes, it’s gone

Does that involve drinking everything in the fridge ?

One of my old Citra Pale Ales. It has a surprisingly hoppy aroma given it’s age.
