Poured this out the kegerator for Jim. It's his brew and it's his 5am saint clone from DIY dog. It's really nice and very close to the original I'd say. Still needs a couple of weeks to condition yet.
What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Oh dear dining and drinking alone - you lot will just have to keep me company - this is the Scapa Special which has a heft of bitterness but a bit too much sweetness for me. Regretting a pint and not sure I’ll finish it.
Oh and another picture from today
( Orkney is ridiculously photogenic)
[ Edit- the odd angle of the photo is that I sent the pint back as I wasn’t on for something that sweet - yes I had paid for it as purely my call)

A celebration ale with sorachi ace and ekuanot from sainsburys 7.9% and £4 for 750ml and it’s a very smooth tasty beer. My smell and taste are slightly off with the flu that’s doing the rounds but the lemon comes through nicely. It says brewed and bottled in France so no idea who the brewer is

Lovely colour
He's done well it's bang on John. He's made it twice now I think. Was inspired by a visit to the Brewdog hotel in Manchester, perhaps you remember? Had it on the rooftop bar.
Ooo! I think that's on in The House of Trembling Madness...I shall investigate tomorrow.

I remember you at the hotel. A hotel dedicated to beer would not pass muster with my wife lol
Lots of crystal in in I’d say
Nice to nail a beer

Worth a try. Always love how VC get the flavours exactly right.
At this pace I’m going to keel over. This is my last for the evening. Muckle IPA from Swannay brewery - I reckon it’s cascade hopped - nicely bitter on the edge I’d guess for some people but I like it. Oh and another Orkney picture (shameless plug for the island)

Seen a few tiny rebel stouts and couldn’t resist.
The cherry one is first and it’s a little thin but I expected that at 5.2% but it’s nice and festive with a good cherry taste.

Beer Republic advent day 2. And it's a fantastic Imperial stout.
I had one the other night,£3 here. I thought it was OK and really got some "herbal" stuff coming through....but that made me think of bubble bath!

Old bloke enjoys old school craft brewery's recreation of an old export stout, shocker.
