Not sure if this will work.

American brown ale, I call it, Stumbler.

Holiday perfect indeed... here are the tasting notes! PM me for the recipe if you think this is up your alley.

ABV: 5.2%

Appearance: Pours almost black, really dark and opaque with a little ruby shimmer around the edges. Head is creamy tan, very thick and dense. Head retention is pretty decent, and a thin layer of foam remains until the end of the drink. Lacing is good to very good (see image). Love the way this thing looks 5

Aroma: Loads of dark chocolate and some malty roastiness. 5

Taste: Very complex. Again chocolate is the dominant flavour with some malty roastiness and coffee. There is a noticeable molasses tang that I really like that lingers towards the finish. Molasses sweetness is nicely balanced with hoppy bittnerness and chocolate, so not overpowering at all. Finish has a nice spiciness to it. It's pretty clean overall, but will be better with some age on it. 4

Mouth Feel: Head imparts a very impressive creaminess which is present to a lesser extent in the body. Plenty of carbonation, but bubbles are small and unobtrusive, giving this a very smooth texture. Not grainy at all. There is a slight astringency in the finish that leaves my mouth wanting another sip. This stuff is way too easy to drink a lot of in a hurry. 5

Overall Impression: I'm surprised at how well this turned out. It looks nice, smells nice and is really nice to drink. It's very very sessionable and I have a feeling alot of this will be comsumed over the holidays! 4.5
 
My first "real", New England cider was served on the rocks. It was one of the best weekends, ever and enjoying this simple product in this simple way brings excellent memories.
 
Crappy cell phone pics, but here goes:

Apfelwein - In this pic, it was only 6 weeks old. It's been bottle conditioning ever since and is delicious!

My Celebratory Ale on the Left and the SN Celebration Ale on the right.

I think I nailed the color, but I am lacking that Hop Nose and Hop Bitterness of the SNCA..

SWMBO thought my beer was the SNCA and the SNCA was mine. she liked the smell and taste of my home brew compared to the SNCA. she's not a Hop Head like me.

My first whole grain brew. Belgian Style Ale. Hard to find brewing supplies in China!

Well that sucks. Can you have them shipped in?

The answer is to brew as many as you can, get them hooked and open your own brew supply. Think of all of the customers!!
 
Yay! The thread is back! Err, well... restarted!

Confused about why the old thread was deleted. Seems most of the pictures on there were links from other sites, so the bandwidth hit on this site wouldn't have been excessive. Then again, maybe not. It obviously appeared on someone's radar for some reason...
 
I guess I'll do this again!. This is one I just bottled and had a little left over to drink.

Its called "Sage Against The Machine"

I will enjoy this now.

Mine cleared up really nicely after a little while longer in the keg, but it was so good that I drank it all without taking any more pictures:D

First homebrew ever, from a Brewhouse American Premium Lager kit. It's been in the bottles for a couple of weeks, so I'm assuming it will clear up more over time.
