please do, sounds great. I have a Trappist single for you and just kegged MK 7 of my Amber so will send these in a couple of weeks once the amber is nicely carbonated.Must send this imperial Belgian stout over. Not often I say my beer is good but this is spot on the money
Was there a big spider on the bitter keg?
I think I over cooked it with the hops. I added 80g of Amarillo plus 80g of Sorachi ace. Amarillo totally dominatesThen I had an American Amber from @samale . This again had a really creamy white head that was very persistent, medium carbonation and very dark amber in appearance. Aroma was very much citrus, orange. Flavour was also very citrus and more orange, almost like when you have bitter orange peel in a beer. Did you say it had Sorachi ace? Not getting to much of the malts, it's more base malt and Munich type flavour to me although the darkness suggests maybe a touch or roasted malt to darken although I couldn't taste any. Again a very clean well brewed beer, smooth and easy drinking, probably a little too much orange flavour for my preference for this style but still really enjoyed drinking it. Be interested to see the recipe as it was on the darker side of amber yet I couldn't pick up any dark malt notes. Thanks for sharing both your beers. I have just kegged my latest version of my Amber so I will get one to you when it's ready.

That's for the review, definitely one to brew again. Very easy drinkingTrying out @samale imperial stout he sent me a couple weeks ago. Sorry for the delay, I was letting this one sit as you recommended.
Pours beautiful jet black with a nice brown head.
Aroma is roast, caramel, and a hint of coffee and alcohol on the back end. It also has a nice hint of cookies baking in the oven.
Flavour is sweet brown sugar and caramel malts. The roastiness starts as the sweetness fades and goes from dark chocolate to coffee. with a nice roastiness that lingers with a decent dose of bitterness to balance it all out with a small flare of alcohol at the end.
Mouthfeel is coating and carbonation is a perfect medium low.
You are right this one is great, seriously one of the best stouts I have ever had. You really should post the recipe for this one cause I am absolutely going to steal it. Thanks for sharing this one with me. I really wish I had another...
I have a few of them last night. Lovely drop. The yeast was WLP 530Last night I had a couple of beers from @samale , but didn't get the opportunity to share my thoughts. Both beers were in my top 3 beer styles to drink.
First I had a Belgian pale . Nicely carbonated with a creamy white head that stayed for the whole pint, it was a pale amber colour. Subtle yeast and hop aroma. Flavour were like the aroma, definitely Belgian but very subtle as it should be and a nice level of bitterness that complements the malt level of the beer. What was the yeast, maybe wlp510? It did seem more subtle than the Ardennes. I really liked your version of this style.very enjoyable, thirst quenching easy drinking pale. I would say the bitterness was nice and balanced. Very clean and smooth and the yeast flavours were at the levels I like for the style. If this beer had a slightly higher level of bitterness I would put this moving towards modern pale camp.

That was surprising, I thought that would come across more fruity. I suppose it shows how the grain bill and hops can affect how the yeast comes across.I have a few of them last night. Lovely drop. The yeast was WLP 530
