I fancied a bitter so popped to Waitrose for this little haul. Fullers Vintage is on offer at the moment, £5.

Love TTLandlord and I think I still have one in the fridge so I will start with that later.

Seeing how the carb is on my Dry Stout v2.
Have cheated here and used a "pocket beer engine" as not quite there. It's only been a week in keg, but any excuse.
As intended this is a bit more roasty than V1. Lovely dryness to it and some toasty and chocolate notes once the roast subsides.

Happy Friday friends
I’ve got some rye IPAs lined up for later, but I’m setting the scene with an American Brown Ale kindly sent by @phildo79.
Medium carbonation, the dissipated quickly but was refreshed with a swirl of the glass. The aroma is a balance of piney hops and toasty malts. The flavour is malt forward; toasty roasted flavours take the lead with a perfect balance of citrus and pine hops. The IBUs are low on the label, but the roasted malts really carry through and the end result is a great balance between the dark malt sweetness, medium hop presence and the roasted grains.
Lovely beer, and the perfect start to the evening. Thank you for sharing it!

Decided to try a glass of Rye IPA (made with a recipe kindly shared by @Hazelwood Brewery it has a nice sightly peppery taste, I was a tad worried that with the amount of hops it would be overly bitter however it seems to be nicely balanced with a decent mouth feel.
Evening folks,
I've decided to forego the out of date Beer52 garage stash tonight and go back to my own brew beers.
So here is my Dortmunder pilsner beer from last April.
Unfortunately it's lost most of its condition through its old screwcork.
Flavour wise though it's wonderful.
It had seemed 'thinnish' for some while, but has now flavoured up amazingly.
Question : is it only my brews, or do bottled beers from all grain and proper hops always take a good long while to reach their peak flavour?
Brickbats expected!
Stout next and that'll probably do for tonight.

I would generally say the opposite that it is beers made from malt extract which take the longest to reach peak flavour (although I do think kegged beers condition quicker than bottled).
This is of course purely anecdotal and based on my personal preferences and tastes so other’s experiences may differ significantly.

Did you buy all the vintage ales? I'm down your way tomorrow I might pop in and buy a couple.
I’m not waiting any longer, I’m having one of the vintage ales next. Hmmm!
No, there were 2 or 3 left. They’re quite low down on the right where the bitters are. Look for a gap near the Tribute and look into the gap.
Vault City lemon and slime sour. Really refreshing beer. Not sure about the colour!

Picked up a couple of pints of Cask from Iron Pier for tonight.
Joined at the Hop is their 3.8% pale the they pick one English hop and then pair it with a American or European hop usually. Some of them have been really good for a lite easy drinking pale. This month's is Admiral & Amarillo., Good combo.
