Road testing the tweaked Irish Red recipe. Needs a bit more carb. I’ll send a few bottles out for second opinions next weekend once it’s got it’s fizz on.
What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Belgian beers seem to never fail
@samale porter next.
After mopping up the work top and safely pouring I'm really enjoying it.
Pours quite dramatically but settles quick and head dissipates by half way down the glass. Malty aroma, lots of nuttiness which I like. Very dark, more dark than a porter should be perhaps, who cares though. It's really chocolatey, slight roastiness and little hints of licorice. Quite sweet, otherwise I think the malt overshadows any yeast or hop flavour. Medium bodied. Overall, I love it. Although it leapt out of the bottle it's not over carbed but i would look at head retention to improve it? Cheers!
Ah bugger, thought I'd taken a pic but it obviously didnt take...

After proudly telling everyone Belgian beers never fail I just poured this one down the sink. It tastes like cheap cherry lemonade.

On to my porter @pilgrimhudd I must of sent you the last bottle of that batch. Sorry 
This is nice but as pointed out it needs a bit of head retention. It also pours fizzy but it's not over carbonated,not sure what's going on with that

No accounting for taste I had that one recently and loved it but I’m a big fan of cherries.
