Neither, I’m gutted. I do have the NdT DVDs, most of a week off left and the lager yeast starter is about 4 days away from being ready to pitch

Forgot about this until @LisaMC mentioned it. @Hazelwood Brewery SAISION
Nice Belgian aroma and a bit of a banana and clove taste.the head sticks around the whole way down the glass a dry finish that would point to a low fg ? I think the yeast was belle saision ? I have a blonde on tap with similar taste brewed with cml Belgian yeast and after tasting this wonder if it’s the same yeast ?
lovely beer thanks for sharing. I was going to bed now I’m going to the shed for a pint of my own to compareView attachment 60322

It was Belle Saison. I’d have to check but I think it finished at 1.000. I don’t know about the CML yeast I’m afraid.

It’s not bad. Slow to start, not a lot more exciting for a while, then warms and gets a bit tense, then quite a strong finish. This is a beer review, right?

So went for one of my own. Didn’t finish as low as hb saison did and isn’t as dry aroma is similar possibly less phenolic but the taste is similar. On hindsight possibly not the same yeast but very similar.

Any good?

Not bad but slow for a while.

Really good film, watched it last week.

Yum. You are literally just down the road from me. I'm in HOSM.

Aye, we're over at BOTM over on the otherside of Howden from you. My Dad lives in HOSM, in fact I was there yesterday .

Muntons Winter warmer
I ditched the packet that came with this and used Lallemande Nottingham ale yeast instead to get a lower final gravity.
Been stored in keg for 7 weeks before on tap today.
Lovely Drop
Cheers Jon

QC on my Vienna lager. Only about 3 1/2 weeks old, but already this tastes better than the shop bought ones. Really pleased with this! Will hopefully be able to share some of this at the end of January! Fingers crossed!

I'd be up for a swap. I'm brewing another Munich Helles this weekend and then the first Marzen will be going into the brew fridge at the late January when the Helles comes out. We're in peak lager brewing season, the Helles should be ready early Feb.

Got a new stout glass so thought I was slacking not christening it with this domestic stout. Might get an afternoon kip in after this.
