What are you drinking tonight.

Home made blackberry whisky using blackberries from the garden which has been maturing for 15 months.
Delicious!

Wilko chocolate stout kit - opened one day early as I'm impatient. Actually quite nice - creamy, decent body and quite chocolatey. Made for my father in law rather than me as I'm not a stout drinker really, but its not bad

Went to buxton tap today had to come home with a growler of ddh axe edge, I'll sup this while doing a yellow bellyish brew, peanut butter milkshake stout. Hope it turns out half as good as buxton's

That's a hell of a bottle! Like a Kilner Jar on steroids!

This is a simply brilliant beer

Tough day.

Hydrometer tube of my nearly finished Kolsch and Best Extra stout. Both were very promising, stout bloomin' strong. Bottle of home brewed brown ale, and then a test bottle of my ESB to see if it had carbed up. It has, and is really nice. Which is all good, as I have decided my brown ale is total pants.

My India Helles Lager using the recipe for Camden Town IHL from the Euan Ferguson Craft Brew book.

To say I'm pleased with this one is an understatement. Tropical fruit aroma and flavour is off the scale.

Still very young and a little hazy.

my oatmeal stout tastes like poop but I'm drinking it cos I made it

My own rye stout. Unfortunately it's a bit overcarbonated. The glass below is what's left of two 500ml bottles. The rest went up in foam!

Next on the list. My own rye ale.
The best recipy I've come up with so far! At 5,4% ABV a nice drinkable beer.

As I am testing which beers to give my brother for his birthday. Today's pick is one of last year's Winter Ale.
At least no overcarbonation with this one.

Schwaben Bräu Das Helle from Lidl. Not to bad, low bitterness sort of lager thingy; nicer than most commercial lager swill. I've never ad a Helles before, but my understanding is this is pretty typical of the style?

Pretty much so, very sessionable based on my Munich experiences.

Saison Dupont. First try of this beer and it's a belter. I've brewed a few Saisons but nothing close to this.

This is my attempt at a kölsch - I call it Not Kwite Kölsch!
It's had a month lagering; I pulled some of the trub up when racking to make sure that there was enough yeast in the bottles.
It's still young and pretty hazy, and less carbonated than I aimed for. No head retention.
Another week in the warm, methinks, and a couple of weeks more in the cold to condition.
Quite easy to drink, on the low side of bittering for this style, to suit my taste.

 

[marshbrewer]

More Aldi finds, to give me a rest from my not very good brown ale. First up is schwaben bräu weihnachtsbier. It's ok; another lager of some kind ; malty with only a slight bitterness. Might have to have another bottle to make sure.

Mrs Clint been a shopping...

 

[marshbrewer]

Doing some more lager research tonight. It's a tough life. First up, Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Not bad, actually. Malty and quite bitter for a lager.

A kasteel hoppy - ok
lupulus hopera - good
gamma ray - needs no introduction
viven ipa - bitter floral perfumy ipa - lovely
