Merry Friday everyone!
Starting with my light ale, bottled at the end of November last year, tried a few over Xmas and it had a very slightly harsh hoppiness to it. I used Nectaron hop oil in each bottle from this batch to 'dry hop' and maybe overdid it a little.
It's mellowed out wonderfully now though, very crisp, full bodied and lots of vaguely fruity notes.

First wild garlic from the garden of the year made into pesto with Walnuts to go with pasta and this remarkably good for the price Médoc from Aldi.
I've been here lol
The looks when I'm trying to buy a 6 pack at 745am are easily dismissed when you're coming off the 12 hour night shifts 4 days in a row

In the Lych Gates Wolverhampton with a Lymestone Brewery Heart of Stone from you guessed Stone (Staffordshire) Nice!
Hoppy Red has cleared.
Added some Sinamar to the second pint and think the hop combo is better suited to a Black IPA.

2nd Friday without SWMBOd, who is visiting son and family in Yokohama,
Japan.
Starting with tail end of my blended CADB bitter. Still bitter but full tasty.
Despite disturbing it, to tip the cask up at the back so it will 'give it up' stayed bright and clear.

Also snuck a pint of the Dunkel. Probably needs more lagering but the head retention and lacing was incredible. Now to leave alone for at least another 3 weeks.

Latest Belgian pale up next hops are Moteuka & Bobek. Yeast - lallemand Farmhouse
Absolutely gorgeous scotch...
I was given a bottle of Lagavulin 16 many years ago and found it so foul that I ended up giving it away after only having a small glass of it, kinda cursing my stupidity now, tastes change and all that. Profoundly loving this one though!

Is that a Rauchbier @Leon103
I was at Lymestone Brewery last week for a tour/evenings drinking. The owner is a cracking guy.
Gave a great tour and all the time in the world to talk when I spoke to him after. Clearly passionate about his beer!
Even got me a ladder to stick my nose over the top of one of the tanks when I asked if they were still open fermenting.
Well worth a visit if you get the chance.
Re. Ladder experience.
SWMBO'D & I did many a brewery tour in our younger days with old open squares.
We were ALWAYS counselled AGAINST sticking our heads over the top and BREATHING in when climbing those ladders.
The CO2 could knock you out, instantly.
The guides all had their own salutory stories!
Drink :-
On to a 4 year old stove top pale ale bottled brew.
From May 2021:
And a 2nd one,
well it was a quart bottle.
Not as full+rich as I now brew.
Nothing 'wrong' with it though
.....................................
nearly 4 years old, stove top brew,
in a cider bottle,
stored in the garage,
amazing really..........
