Here's a picture of my Nog which has been in the Keg for 2 weeks now and has had to be moved into the shed to condition and stay out of temptations way :whistle:

Going to leave it for another good couple of weeks then sample again....I doubt much of it will still be there come christmas.
It's just in a standard Youngs pressure barrel.

Mine came out at about 3.5%. Anyone else had this low ABV?

Mine came out at about 3.7% after primary fermentation. I don't think anyone has ever achieved the ABV stated on the box :lol:

That looks like my kind of brew!
I like the heavy beers; porters stout etc and that one is making me wish I had a sample to try right now.
Never mind, a cup of tea will have to do for the time being....
ENVIOUS!

Just waiting for my STC-1000 to arrive as my house is now too cold, then I will be on it.....
....well, after the other 4 brews are done that is...!
Too many beers. Not enough time. :drink:

Drinking my first NOG now. Only 2 weeks in the bottle and it's a cracking pint. If you lot reckon it improves a lot with age then I'm looking forward to keeping some back for my birthday (June).

After just over 4 months in the bottle i have decided to leave it till February. the taste has not improved that much and the beer has a rough taste. Time will tell.

Tried the Nog today. been in the bottle about 8 weeks ish.
Strong flavour of black treacle, heavy going, took me an hour to drink a pint! More of a sipping beer than a session ale!
Tastes nice though, as do all the Woodefordes kits.

At day 19 and been at 1014 two days in a row, will check again tomorrow, but I think it's over. Another kit short of the stated abv (4.5% in this case). Trial jar tastes lovely though!
I can't wait to get this one out and get either a coopers stout (with coffee? Vanilla and spice?) or a Festival IPA on next...

Had my second Nog last night... boy is it hard going. Maybe I'm not a "stout" type drinker! Tastes lovely, if different to say the wherry. Heavy heavy notes of treacle, burnt bitterness and rich smoothness. Even the head is that yellowy brown colour.
A great brew if you like heavy dark beers. Bit too much for me, but means I've got about 38 xmas pressies to hand out...

The Nog was my second kit (first one was the wherry which was nice enough but a bit thin) - I decided not to bottle the Nog (as I had done with the wherry) and I've left it in the barrel in the cellar for about 4 months - first couple of tastes after a few weeks hinted at this being a belter and it hasn't disappointed - it has definitely got better with age (albeit its still a bit lively).
Can't praise this kit enough - next ones a milestone lion's pride - its got a lot to live up to

My dad loves the Nog! I've found a home for 30 pints of treacle! :drunk:
He's rejected the Green Man though, as have I. Its vile. Maybe my brewing, maybe the manufacturers fault. who knows. won't be trying it again though.

I'm drinking my first batch of Nog, which has been in the pressure barrel since October. Everything you don't like about it is why I love it. It's a beer to savour, rather than swig. Great for a "school night" 'cause you don't want to drink too many.Had my second Nog last night... boy is it hard going. Maybe I'm not a "stout" type drinker!

Don't get me wrong, as a beer, and especially as a HB beer, its fantastic, rich and flavoursome. Just not my type of flavours! I can appreciate a fine wine, a good cheese, a nice steak etc... as I can a decent HB beer.
THIS IS A DECENT BEER FOLKS.

Get one on if you like proper dark beers. You will not be disappointed.
