Had that on tap last week. Really enjoyed it. So did the wife who isn’t a beer drinker.

 

[Donegal john]

Isid’or now a first for me

Pi55pot...

Might as well carry on then

Before actually starting on drinking tonight, this was the ceremonial opening of the Christmas Port, which involves lots of flame on the tongs to heat the bottle neck.
Rapidly followed by

SWMBO'Ds Pils poured clear, I had everything else in the can.

How the heck did that happen?

Beats me? You'd have to ask my wife.

Onto a Hobgoblin now, and yet more boxes.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Speaking of Christmas spirit…

That didn't last long, so next one up, an OOD can (BBE May '22) Beer52 from the garage stash.

Hop name given as Falconer's Flight.
No, me neither.
Apparently a Registered trade mark blend of 7 US 'C' hops and more.
"hops, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Citra®, Cluster, Columbus and Crystal in addition to experimental varieties developed by Hopunion LLC".
I suppose it saves thinking about it!

Oh dear...its only early.

 

[SMP Brewery]

With a Vengeance?

Nah. The first one, it’s a Christmas

 

[531Man]

Lastly, but before the coffee-filtered dregs of the Port (can't let it go to waste).

Is an aromatic and fruity, but bitter Pale Ale I brewed in May '21.
Surprisingly long flavour of malt and hops.
Admiral, First Gold and EKGs.

Don’t worry, I have loads!

Red Cortina (one for The Saw Doctors' fans), my Irish Red. Seems a bit undercarbed, but shouldn't be unless my regulator is on the blink.

Was expecting a bit more clarity, but this is the second pour from the keg so that will improve.

Taste-wise, pleasant enough. Plenty of toasty malt, nice dry finish. Colour is better than the photo. I do think it needs a bit more hop aroma for me. This was all-Progress as couldn't get any Goldings but will definitely try some in V2.

Coffee Port?

 

[531Man]

Coffee Port?

Sorry for the confusion.
That's Port dregs filtered through a clean filter paper cone in a plastic Melitta coffee filter funnel.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Last one tonight
