What are you drinking tonight 2023.

This to finish.
A bretted imperial Baltic porter barel aged in northern Irish whiskey barrels. 12.3% 750ml sharing bottle. Shared with myself. Was looking forward to this beer and it hasn’t disappointed. Amazing how the Brett leaves the beer tasting dry with such a high abv.

I am just trying his sour. Not normally a fan but this is lovely

Nice passion fruit notes from it.

Trying my first brew of the year featuring one of my favourite hops - cashmere, its rather good

An oatmeal stout with a head, that's impressive. Mine are always as flat as an (oatmeal) pancake.

I've had that prob. This is the first I've tried of this batch, and I did increase the priming, but only marginally, I'm not fully convinced that's the explanation. I also have this vague theory that heads were a bit better when I was using half naked golden oats and half porridge oats, but I ran out of that some time back. But no real Science on that.

Pretty impressed with this saison, made with Lallemand's Farmhouse yeast. Made a mess of the pour though, it's normally clear.

First pull of my new keg of best bitter. This time hopped with brambling cross. Just a tester, only 4 days in the keg. Should be good in a few weeks

To accompany my Friday sausage & chips, this 750ml fliptop bottle of Belgian Triple, on offer @ £2.99 in Aldi. Quite light and refreshing considering it's 6%. I'll see if I can pick up another bottle or two .

I bought one of those a while ago, mostly for the bottle, tbh! but I didn't care for it at all. I guess that class of beer is just not my thing.

Just having one tonight and it’s a cracker

Scotch to finish the night

 

[foxy]

Dregs of the bottling bucket first up, going in a comp as a summer drink as yet no name.
Come to think of it not much of a summer here either, snow on the mountains today. Unbelievable.

Best Bitter, the last one for about a week when the next one is ready.

It’s still going. Time to get out the big glass.

Is that the American Amber?

Yes. I gave up last night, but the keg has be on it’s last legs by now. I was worried I was going to have to switch my HBC entry to the pale ale your tasting tonight.
