What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Clint]

And I wanted to try the imperial stout, got my scores back and this one didn't score well 27... Feedback was one dimensional malt and some phenolic off flavours. Recommended to add some different malts, it has 6. It's still young, but I think the bitter gold hops might be too spicy and harsh for bittering.

Happy wife,happy life.
Bad back..

At least you’re well into your chores, your finishing line is in sight hopefully.

 

[Clint]

I'm half done I recon...
Battle on good sir!

 

[Leon103]

I have had thus before and don't remember it being this bad. Can't put my finger on the flavour, some sort of chemical taste

 

[Clint]

By far the worst I've ever had was a tin of something from Boss Brewing...two swigs in it was on the way back up!

I’m having a Best Bitter, my wife is having the Imperial Stout I kegged a week ago. The imperial is already soft, smooth, and tastes of black treacle with a hint of chocolate. The combination of cold steeped grains and nitro is knockout for quick turnaround on imperials.

 

[Donegal john]

Couple of stouts
A Heaney Irish stout that was carbed but no head at all tasted ok though
And then my tropical. Which was nice.

I had something from them once, which I thought was equally vile!

I'm drinking Aldi Yorkshire Bitter. And a very nice pint it is too, I must say. Would buy again (although Aldi is on on the other side of town!).

 

[Begbie]

Really impressed with this Black IPA from Loch Lomond Brewery. Will get a few more of these next time I'm in Lidl.

 

[Begbie]

Now my Saison. This must be about 2 months or more in the bottle and still tasting great. Definitely brewing this again.

It's good, not great. Better than some I have bought that are rated way higher.

Yeah, I had one of those the other night and thought it was very nice.

The only Boss beer I liked was the original, Boss black brewed by the original brewer who used his homebrew recipe and started the company. Whilst it's almost all cycle paths to get to boss.....

... given I have to cycle past Beerriff (X marks the spot) to get to boss brewing tap room there's not much chance of a visit anytime soon, unless perhaps i'm returning from a long cycle back Pontardawe/Neath way.

I think they're on to version 2 of both North and South now so it could be that this is version 2 and the one you had previously (last year, perhaps?) was version 1. I only noticed because I'm sure South used to be a sour of some sort but isn't now

 

[Leon103]

Yes it used to be a sour. I am not sure about the North version though

They used to have that bar on High Street. I remember having hoppy pale and the black ipa off keg and both were very nice.

Don't like to criticise a small brewery but not a fan either, tasted like the beer was infected or maybe Brett got loose, or maybe I just don't like the taste of their house strain.

The bar copper has been sold to an ex armed forces person and I can't recall there being boss there although there are more brecon beers there which is welcome.

 

[Leon103]

Yes,Boss sold it to that guy. Is it still there? He seemed a bit of a knob.
