A little snifter (ish) of bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout on nitro. Silky and deadly š

Yep,back to the nuthouse tomorrow. I got lots to do...brewing,fishing,the dreaded painting! Next block off will mostly be painting and hopefully a brew day.
First try of my Proper Job clone, the one which I cultured the yeast from a bottle of PJ. Really nice, malty but can't really get the Citra. Can't remember what the original tastes like though!

The nice thing about Turbo cider is with the exception of boiling a kettle to make a cup of tea to toss in it I am not dealing with large amounts of boiling hot liquid meaning that I can toss together a batch of it despite having had a couple of bottles of the stuff something which I wouldnāt dream of doing with beer (that way lay severe burns) so Turbo Cider to celebrate making a fresh batch of TurBo Cider.
Iāve been a bit out of sorts after the Palma golf trip that ended last weekend, I must have got a dirty pint somewhere along the way. Iāve finally recovered enough to sample an American Amber kindly sent by @dave_77.
It pours well; the clarity is better than the photo suggests, carbonation is good and the colour is medium to deep amber. The hit of citrus hop aroma on pouring is impressive. The flavour is balanced between malts and hops with pine and grapefruit citrus flavours standing out. The crisp dry finish is dangerous as the flavours wash off the palate pulling you back for another swig.
Itās a lovely beer, and itās definitely helped me rethink my next recipe iteration. Cheers Dave, thank you for sharing it.

My better of two versions of Korev, to accompany cooking a bit of beef for a Sunday roast - and my roast potatoes ready to go in the oven too.š.

Back on the bitter for now or Iāll be asleep by 8!

Regular.
Last bottle of my American Pale. A score of 36 in the NAB competition. Nice bitterness but not enough hop flavour or aroma. Dry hopped with 70g cascade but probably need to leave it in longer or use more.

Sipping on my hazy corn IPL, I am very impressed with this, the corn gives it a nice creamy smoothness that takes the bite off all the hops. It has great aroma and flavour. It reminds me of my favorite hazy called juicy bits.

Cheers for the feedback and glad you enjoyed..be interesting to see what the Brewcon feedback was. Its actually been 36 days in keg and tasting alot better than the first couple of weeks as if the haze was carrying some tannins, really enjoying it now.
Luckily I have another bitter fermenting š

I need to get another one going too, good thing they are quick turnaround.
That imp stout is gorgeous by the way...
They donāt take longā¦and donāt last long!
Itās hard to beat an Imperial Stout.
Iām having a Pilsner from Attic. This is one of the beers I got as a prize. Itās actually very nice - Urquell-esque. In the background my Nottingham starter and a bit of a ninja - it just bubbles very gently for ages and thenā¦

Stewart Brewing DIPA from Lidl. This is way, way above my pay grade, being 7%. This is what happens when you don't take your reading glasses with you to the supermarket! 
I suppose the routine thing said about this type of beer is it 'hides its alcohol well'. Well it does, but I know I'll feel it later. All their beers I've had seem pretty good, though, to be fair.

Another day in the garden and a refreshing Bohemian Pilsner, I did drink two, the remaining two slabs are for Christmas. I am going to have to remind myself.

A Hammer and Sikkel porter for breakfast this morning whilst I make some green tomato chutney. A little bit of roast, a little caramel aroma and goes down smooth.
