What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Chippy_Tea]

I reckon you'd enjoy it! It's medium sweet I'd say. Not as sweet as Brewdog layer cake and such.

I may give it a go i do like stout and the tasting notes sound good.

this is what I’m drinking for the first time really impressed.

One of my favourites

 

[Tanglefoot]

Having an EKG Oatmeal stout while I brew a First Gold English IPA.
Never saw myself as much of a stout drinker but this has really changed my tune.
Slight licorice malt, earthy honey sweetness from EKG.
Started off in a barrel but transferred to a minikeg after I finally retired my old boots barrels after many
years faithful use - they just don't compare in reliability.

Left Handed Giant King of the Woodlands (12.5% Imperial Stout)

Absolutely gorgeous beer but can already feel it, so will probably stick with just the one tonight).

First one of the beer52 box watching rugby. Went back on forth on this one the whole way down glass. It's very drinkable but a bit on the sweet side for me. I don't get any coffee notes. Nice to try it though

I brewed a clone recipe without ever trying this. I added oak chips soaked in rum to the clone. The original is a lot smoother than the clone.

The Aldi punk next. We are also rugbying. Much better than football and more obedient players lol

That and Old Peculier are on the top of my favourites list.

What are your thoughts TT it got mixed reviews here when it hit the shelves.

It's not bad, but not as punchy hop-wise and a little less bitter I would say.

M second beer 52. Again this is spot on

 

[LesTom]

Wow this is a cracker; rich, thick and smooth

 

[pilgrimhudd]

First up! @matt76 mustang ale v2!

A lovely beer to start the afternoon, gentle malty sweet cascade aroma. Flavour wise was going to say the cascade takes over a bit, but actually as you get down the glass you get that spiciness from the first gold. Medium bodied and perfectly carved, I prefer this one to v1, and think this is right up there with the best you've done.

Quarantini from @Broken Toe. The perfect loosener before a night out on the lash in Portstewart. I haven’t been a fan of fruit in beer in the past but this is a real corker. Cheers mate, you’ve converted me

 

[Donegal john]

This was even better than the first porter 8.8% and thick like treacle.

That looks really interesting - what sort of strength / OG is it?

 

[jayk34]

A pale ale from the same brewery as the brown ale. It's nice. One thing I did detect however is the same aroma l as the brown ale. It's a totally different glass do not the remnants of it. The can says that the hops on this one is falconers flight but don't know the characteristics of that hop. Still good through.
