What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Rochefort 10 next. I had a few of these on holidays. Another cracker of a beer. This has more carbonation that helps cut the sweetness and makes the beer very lighter.
Hard to say which I think is the better of the two. I am leaning towards westy 12, it's more complex with a better aroma. Very hard to split them

This is @Nottsbeer trappist. Not a style I'm that clued up about. I had a look at the bjcp guidelines but couldnt see what it might fit into so I'll have to go it alone.

First off, lovely stone fruit aroma, well carbed which seems to fit the beer well, a thick head which dissipates fast. Dark copper colour, slight haze. Flavour, at first I found it a bit too phenolic but as my tongue adjusted and got used to it the rest of the flavours made an appearance. Slightly fruity, some sweetness. Dry finish and I'd say a medium/light mouthfeel.

As I say not a style I'm familiar with but I've enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

Very special beer tonight, Westvleteren 12. This was gifted to me by @Pennine. It's stamped 29.10.17

Dark ruby red, good carbonation, light head that fades
The aroma is intense, dark stone fruit, sweet dark sugar. Really nice
Tastes very smooth with no alcohol burn, again sweet dark fruit, really complex. I need to slow down and enjoy this

What a beer, it's very fitting because it's monsoon season over here. I was going to do a side by side comparison with Rochefort 10, But decided to enjoy both on their own.

Thank you @Pennine for giving me the opportunity to taste this.

Your welcome, they say st Bernard's abt 12 and westy 12 is a very similar recipe and yeast. Rochefort always tasted different to mea. I haven't had a st Bernardus one in a while though.

Glad you enjoyed it! That's almost 5 years old! Or maybe 6? I can't remember if it's a bottle date or a year after.

Pilsner urquell, I am enjoying these hoppier pilsners as the temps warm up.

 

[RoomWithABrew]

@Pennine That does look good. Next pilsner I do I'm adding a bit of oak to the ferment as I understand they still ferment or serve some Pilsner at Urquell from the oak.

Interesting idea, I am not sure the casks PU uses impart any flavour. But its definitely worth a try.

By the way I'm going back to bottling I think. I just think kegging ruins them, despite being in a closed loop 100% of the time.

Did you try mine yet?

Not yet - I've too many to get through lol. Did you say you wanted to try ours together? Yours is getting collected today. I had a nightmare packaging last night. The pump broke ugh. Hope they get there ok.

Time for a beer. Tonight I fancy a mild to start.

Altbier next. D’you know, I think this puppy is almost clear.

 

[Applesnmore]

Altbier next.

Looks a good brew, like the conker redness.

 

[Donegal john]

Went to pour a 60min ipa and mixed the taps up and poured a Chevallier first gold ipa instead. Very nice but need longer for the bitterness to mellow a bit.

H is renowned for his red conkers.

 

[Donegal john]

Got the right one this time

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

We’re lucky enough to have a Brew York pub just a few miles away without having to go into York. We were passing so popped in for one. I have a York E, and Jim has a Thorny Eagle.

 

[Alastair70]

Sneak preview of my session IPA which has been on gas for almost 2 weeks now. Grain bill as before, same hops but spread out through the schedule a bit more. Smells and tastes the business, just needs a bit more conditioning time to sort out clarity and head retention.

 

[dave_77]

Pressure drop table beer, very tasty for under 4%

 

[Tanglefoot]

Filled a mini keg last night now bottling the rest of the latest Cascade & Citra APA,
while drinking the last glass of my previous Centennial APA as the keg kicks.
