What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Applesnmore]

Woodfords Tinsel
Clean tasting, nothing spicy though or happy. Lacking something.

Opened this Malbec last night to ahh let it breathe (fell asleep before having a glass) and it’s much better for it. Some salmon fish cakes to help it along. Then might visit some vintage port and cheese. View attachment 59656

Ah ha!
Long breathing a wine.
That old cycling wine writer Malcolm Gluck would agree, and be proud of you.
He used to decant into clear glass and stick it outside (covered) for a day.
He delighted in befuddling snooty wine buff /writers who would go all 'top end classic' when it was a supermarket, well made, but cheepo plonk!
But he did know a wine's potential from hyped-up dross.

Onto my Golden ale hopped with Ernest & Crystal.

Aldi ginger wine. For £3 this is amazing! Pity I don’t have any single malt to put in it!

Lisa please make your own, it's easy and you can get quite a kick. 100g ginger root, grated,1.5kg sugar, 100g minced raises, zest and juice 2 lemons, 5g each white wine yeast and nutrient. To make 4.5l. Make in January for next year.

I like this one. Couldn't drink a lot of them but still nice.

I normally decant red wine at least 6 hrs before I look to drink it and it does improve the taste. I read recently that the only way to aerate a red wine at home is to put it in the blender. Some wine snobs about. Can’t beat a bottle of yellowtail in any of their styles.

A glass of the New Zealand Pale - which is nae half bad.

A Karhu Spelti IPA. I presume spelti, is spelt... this is ok, quite hoppy, mildly bitter.

I did that last year and it deterred me from Woodfordes and Muntons. Totally underwhelming.

Just finished eating and now on wine and not paying much attention to Strictly Come Dancing which has not been so interesting for me since (I might get slaughtered for this) Aliona Vilana left though better not expand!

 

[marshbrewer]

Tonight's Brewdog advent calendar beer. Good example of the style, but they are all a bit samey to my unsophisticated pallette. However, I imagine people say that about cask bitter, so it isn't meant as a criticism, other than of my limited tasting skills.

 

[Pennine]

break time from putting in a new floor.

this is better than I remember and usually I am not a lager person.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Next up on my Finnish odyssey is this Karhu Ruis IPA, ruis being rye thanks to google translate ( I had an idea it was though). Tastes exactly the same as the spelt.

A few of those then a punch up...kebab on the way home. What's not to like?

 

[Tanglefoot]

First taste of my oatmeal stout barreled last weekend.
Dark roasted creaminess, bittered with EKG. Scaled from a Jon Finch recipe.
Still a little sweet but promising.

@LesTom sent me a dunkelweizen a while back but it worked it's way to the back of the fridge, time to get it in a glass.

Not to dissimilar to mine, a lighter colour and seems a bit thinner in the body. Good effort though Keith. Thank for beer.

 

[Leon103]

Now on something totally different. Never had a white stout before. This is a really nice beer. Hard to tell if it's stout tasting because of the sweet banana flavour

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Last of the night, a keisari munchener, probably the best of the night, nice and malty.

 

[marshbrewer]

Lidl have the 6 box of Belgian beers for about £12 in stick again. Last time they did this, I drank all in one night, and got told off by wifey for being "pissed", which I deny. Well, not so much deny as claim, with all honesty, to not remember being pissed.

So, I'll take them steady this time. First up, this lovely, tasty, spicy triple.

Yes, it's one you'll drink, nothing wrong(as in off flavour or anything) with it, but after 1 glass would move on, just lacking something. If I were to make it again, I'd want to pimp it. Spice, orange peel or something,; dry hop....brewed well enough, no agro, just expecting ... flavour
