What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[MisterMike]

Pint of Stout from small PB, nice head and carbonation. Cheers.

Quite enjoying a couple of these tonight, citrus hops and solid bittering on a well rounded malt backbone. Just like an American IPA should be.

 

[UKSkydiver]

Trying @UKSkydiver doppelbock
This is a nice beer. Low carbonation, nice dark biscuit/bread flavour and aroma. Low bitterness
I know you missed your numbers on this but it's a nice beer which is what it's all about. Thank you for sharing

Thanks - I appreciate your feedback (especially as I think you won a recent comp with your doppelbock)
Cheers

Another guest ale. This one is a Doppelbock from @UKSkydiver at 5.5%

As I poured this one I was hit with the aromas of chocolatey roasty malt and caramel. The chocolate malt is punching above it’s weight here as it’s only 1.5% of the grain bill.

The beer is a deep red-brown colour and is perfectly clear when held to the light. The light tan coloured head quickly fell back to a ring of bubbles around the glass and then held the line.

The punchy chocolate aroma on pouring has backed off a little as I taste the beer. The flavour is rich dark malt like chewing a dark malted bread crust, there’s a subtle hint of prune, and a touch of alcohol but not strong. Soft, smooth mouthfeel and good medium-full body. Just a touch of tackiness on my lips from the higher gravity finish. Bitterness is mild. No off-flavours.

Another lovely beer, thank you!

Thanks for the great notes. And thanks for the pointer on using the Cali Common yeast. Seems to have worked out quite well!
Cheers

The German Pilsner has come good after a few weeks layering in the keg.

One of my Belgian pales is definitely hitting the spot

Looks beautiful Dave.

Dry stout also matured nicely. Loving the pint holder on this table I picked up for bbquing on.

This is @dave_77 ‘s fault for putting up a picture of his Belgian. I see it, I want it! So now I’m having a small Belgian Tripel and it’s really lovely, I might follow this with a pint!

White IPA is looking nice and pale too

What hops did you go with out of interest?

I used Talus and Mandarina B hoping to get some orangey citrus flavours without any Belgian Wit spices.

@matt76 sent me another two Hurricane porters for a 2nd opinion and I'm very happy to oblige. Both slightly chilled and allowed to warm a bit.

This one is fermented with MJ M36, it is jet black, pours with a lovely brown head which lasts half the pint or so and is perfectly carbonated. Its medium bodied I'd say with a sweet malty aroma, very pleasant. Taste wise, malty, sweet, very slight hop bitterness, and as it warms, smoky, tobacco, like sniffing a *** packet just after opening it. Really like it, taste and body belies the fact that it's only 3.5%. Nice one!

 

[DavidHatton]

Still on shop bought, this aint a bad drop.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Really loving this from the keg, is chill haze a down side

 

[Clint]

I don't worry about that chill haze...

 

[Rodcx500z]

You get good laceing though

 

[pilgrimhudd]

2nd of the night and @matt76 Hurricane Porter this time fermented with wyeast 1318.

Looks wise, jet black, slightly less of a head on this one, again perfectly carbonated. Sweet malty aroma, perhaps slightly fuller bodied than the last one but still medium bodied. Taste, less bitter than the last, quite roasty, better balanced, less smokiness than the other. Again, and I've said it before, I can't quite believe you get the body and flavour from a beer that's only 3.5%!
