What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[samale]

Just had a bottle of this Holy Goat Blood Incantation

Did you enjoy it

 

[AlDaviz]

Was very wary about this one and it turns out it's not for me. Ah well I'll put it down to experience

Tried this a while ago wasn’t good

Did you enjoy it

Not really. I'm not a fan of sour beers. It was one of a selection in a beer "advent calendar". It smelt horrible, almost rotten eggs, but tasted very different. I didn't dislike it as much as most sours. I think the fruit helped, but my wife wasn't far wrong when she said it was more like vinegar than beer.

I would say this one’s in the Name

I’m same never a big fan ! But I do now have the odd one, I think it changes or refreshes the palate !) and I must admit some from Vault city which I think specialise in the sours are really good (DDH Lemonade, Dinasour tea party, pink lemonade) I ordered a box for over Xmas from there website which include some barrel aged whisky sours ! Gonna be interesting

Starting tonight with a Summer Breeze. This version had Citra in the mash, fewer hops in the hopstand, and had no dry hop addition. It doesn’t seem much (any?) less hoppy. The next version in my mash hopping experiment will have ONLY a mash hop addition, I want to know if the flavour/aroma makes it through into the final product.

Having a Medjuica because I’m shackled to the cooker, fry-up using left-overs tonight.

Going to start easy, I’m eyeing up a couple of Belgian ales for later on.

I am quite partial to a Backyard Blonde but I am on safer ground with my Oakham Citra copy which has just come out of this bottle!

 

[Alastair70]

First Belgian of the evening. Soft and smooth mouthfeel, bready malts and a touch of sweetness at the end. A perfect aperitif.

 

[micklupulo]

This Aldi Rheinbacher is excellent and is now available in 330 bottles which are handy for a sneaky top up!

 

[Alastair70]

Got sidetracked by a very nice Shiraz given to me by a very nice patient a couple of weeks back.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Dark Mild. I’ve not had one of these for a while. Tasty.

A ‘Dark winter saison’ with Brett, brewed by @samale. Loads of dark fruit and rich caramel flavours balanced perfectly by both the sourness of the Brett and the peppery clove yeast phenols. It’s a stunner.

Just had a taster of my Tin Miners Ale (GH recipe). Very nice but has a bit of an aftertaste, possibly from the Bramling Cross hops? Will be interesting to see how this conditions. Although the pic is cloudy, this was from the end of the barrel. It's very clear...honest!!

 

[samale]

Just trying a bock I brewed a few months back. Looks perfect but it's getting dumped. Something isn't right with it. I can smell it in the aroma and taste. Like a chemical taste, I will keep one for John to try. Maybe he can describe the taste better than me

Its definitely a unique beer. The only thing that lets it down is the head retention. It seems to fizz out into nothing. Thank you for the review

Tonight's Brewdog advent calendar beer. Belgian Wheat. Nice, easy drinking.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Moving on to a stout. Also tasty.
