What are you drinking tonight?

[Ajhutch]

Tonight I had a bottle of the Siren Bourbon Milkshake stout. 11% ABV! It's a really good beer and I can appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making a beer that's as strong as wine but retains the character of a stout, the bourbon is a little strong for me, not being a huge fan of it in and of itself. The beer underneath the bourbon is fantastic, a lovely sweet stout with tons of chocolate aroma.

I followed this up with a Westmalle Dubbel. Also delicious but I find the yeast character a bit more muted than the Chimay I had the other day which was really fruity and floral.

Yep, my thoughts exactly on drinking Elvis Juice

Kicking off tonight with a John Bull IPA with an American Crystal tea added to it, brewed out to 7% using S04. The S04 is giving it a lovely taste, I'm definitely a convert. I got two brews out of the S04 and had to switch to my hot weather yeast. The second brew with the S04 is a Better Brew Czech Pilsner brewed with a Falconers Flight tea, brewed to 5.9%, it's a first taste as I only bottled it 2 weeks ago but it's tasting very promising. The third beer I have is a Bulldog Pennine Ale, that one didn't go so well and definitely needs a lemonade top to make it palatable. It's funny how quick a good beer goes but a bad beer hangs on like an unwanted relative at Christmas.

It is an amazing beer... I'm off to their "Project Barista" launch at the brewery tomorrow.

Can't wait!

Tonight it is an ESB started back in January. Fairly English hopped and strong ale sort of a brew, really, but a bit darker than most with a full 125g of chocolate malt in 25L.

All pretty much as per the GH book ESB recipe, otherwise.

Re-used yeast from an original batch that was started with a dry English Ale Yeast (Danstar WLP002) with some US 05 added later as it stuck at 1018.

This really is pretty good. Five months on, it is not any better or worse than it was two months ago. Solid, good beer.

Drinking more of my force carbed Razorback IPA. The extra week has improved it quite a bit, it is also clearer now. Really pleased with it.

Still keeping up the fluid intake in the heat and therefore drinking shandies.

Started with a Bitter to start with and now on to a Mild to top the evening off! :thumb:

After drinking a couple of cans of something with just a tad more flavour than water (aka Carling) I've decided to try this little beauty. It's got lovely coffee and chocolate tones.

Had two of my saisons to free up the 750ml swing top bottles and now starting on these.

Will keep the coffee and cream pale ale. Got three blends of coffee in it. Was told by the Brewer that it is like an espresso in a pint, not to be drunk too late otherwise no sleep.

Had a Williams bros midnight sun, very tasty porter,

Another good example of a BD beer. I had a few and then settled with this bad boy!
Woof!!

Started off with this fruity number

 

[LesTom]

Followed on with this - disappointed as it's very tasteless

 

[LesTom]

And then my beer drinking was redeemed with this

 

[Wabby]

A Devils Backbone clone. Cant remember what DB tastes like but this is phenomenal.

 

[AlanManley]

Siren Craft Open day and #ProjectBarista Launch today. It was awesome!

Cracking open my $10 Shake clone shortly!

Starting with the Pre 2010 Punk IPA clone from DIY Dog - not bad, but nothing like the real thing. Then a couple of cans of Hop Fiction, followed by a Belgian Strong Golden Ale mostly based on the Greg Hughes recipe with Hallertauer Mittefruh subbed in for Tettnang (which I couldn't get) and WLP530 subbed in for Wyeast 1762 as I'd harvested it from an earlier brew. The Belgian ale is very, very close to Duvel in all respects, only a bit stronger at close to 9%. Probably the best thing I've brewed yet, and the most dangerous.

Treating myself tonight..

 

[AlanManley]

I'll just leave this here and say. WOW!
Smashed it. So So fruity.
