My patience has run out

Chimay Grande Reserve - probably my very favorite beer, ever. If I can brew something that comes even close, I will be quite proud.

I just put a big beer in the fermenter tuesday, a hibernator clone that came out at 1.091....the wait will surely scar me.

You can do eeeeet! (spoken in Waterboy-esque voice)

It's always fun to taste them as they come along.

I brewed a Black Cherry Ale thinking spring. Bottled
it last week. Had a very nice hint of black cherry flavor
with a little tartness.

Put one in the fridge this morning to sample tonight.
With all the others maturing as well.

Tough Job!

Black cherry ale? The only fruit beer I have ever considered is something blueberry (I love me some blueberries), but I have to say, black cherry ale sounds intruiging...

We used to pick black cherries off an old time neighbor's tree when we were kids. Mom'd make black cherry pie out of them. The ale sounds interesting. Maybe an amber or brown ale with them?

 

[homebrewdad]

I'd think they would indeed go great with an amber/brown.

Grrr, I'm already three months out (minimum) on the brews I can conceivably do! I don't need another one to start bugging me!

Ooops..my bad! I just did it to myself as well. And I was dead set on going back to brew our favorites. Just bottled 2nd batch of my Sunset Gold APA last night. I can smell the drips from the boxes now!...

Once you try ONE blueberry beer you won't be wanting another.

See, I've read reviews that run the entire gamut. I'm pretty sure that I will grab one in a buld your own six pack before I make any sort of judgement... but I have seen so many reports of blueberry brewing going poorly that I don't have a real urge to try this, myself.

I have tried 2 different blueberry beers, I know one was a lager and I'm not sure about the other one. Both are part of a very small selection of beers that I could not finish more than a few sips of the bottle from. But who knows, maybe I just got some poor examples...

 

[homebrewdad]

Thanks for the personal input. Again, I don't really have a plan to brew anything blueberry. Might ask my wife to make some blueberry muffins, though?

Black cherry does sound interesting...

Also, I have added one more bottle of my yorkshire brown to the fridge.

Update: the hour draws tantalizingly near... opening that brew tonight!
