The Christmas edition

Nice ?

 

[Donegal john]

Is that westmalle £75

 

[SMP Brewery]

Stopped off for a Pizza, and had one of these with it.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I saw that. Someone is making a serious margin (or if their customers have sense, nothing).

Maybe they’re Egyptian pounds?
(About £5 Stirling)

I looked up a jeroboam and it’s 3l of beer. Still a very high margin. I could imaging coming home with a £75 bottle of beer and the wife’s reaction

Still about 8 quid a 330ml bottle - ouch!

 

[Clint]

Not worth 75 quid though... I'd drop that.

Enjoying a pint of Guinness Original while prepping for a stout brew tomorrow and "helping" wife with Christmas cards :)

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Had to pop out earlier to pick up a couple of bits for our friends coming round tomorrow so also picked up a couple of these, why not?

Why does this taste so chemically ?

I think lots of flavours do. What’s worse those flavours in my experience don’t condition out or if they do they take a very long time.

I once made a hazelnut imperial that was nasty by the time you could taste the “hazelnut”. Over a year later it was still nasty so it got tipped.

 

[531Man]

And the second pint of the quart.
Clearer filtered, but that took the head off it.
Still had condition though, as it was so cold filtered, being that it had been stored out in the garage.
Oh, and that screw - in stopper.
Respect.

 

[Bosch]

Moose Drool clone in the pint glass.

Whiskey barrel porter ready for my homebrew club chrimbo swap.
And a bowl of milk.

Drinking my winter Wassail - which this year disconcertingly when not poured with a foam head, looks and tastes rather close to Classic Coca Cola… mind you at more than 7% this amount should last most of the evening if I want to stay awake

It’s not the prettiest beer I’ve made , I suspect it could do with a few months of quiet conditioning though.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Is that westmalle £75

Yes. 3 litres. I think it's mostly for the novelty factor of the huge bottle

 

[Agentgonzo]

Nice ?

Very. It's been over a decade since I had their normal version. Nicely fruity

 

[damienair]

I got very thirsty jumping around the room screaming after that Dutch goal. Only thing for it was a Pink Grapefruit IPA.
Fingers crossed for the Netherlands .
