Caramel Belgian Quad 12 Beers of Xmas from @j1laskey. Smooth and delicious. Thankfully my kids are older cause this will probably kick my arse and I wouldn’t be able to build anything later!

This time of year makes a great reason to drink the beer left to age. Enjoyed a HB Barley Wine I bottled on 23 April 2020 with the Bacon Boulangère my wife made for Christmas Lunch/Dinner. The Barley Wine is 11kg Maris Otter and 2kg Carapils. Hopped with Apollo for 99 IBU. WLP-099 Yeast. OG 1.103 and FG 1.016. Ended-up at 11.6% ABV. Not sure if the remaining three bottles will make it past 2023.

Merry Christmas All!

Drinking my Chocolate Cherry Imperial Milk Stout. Despite having the longest name ever, and being a semi-successful first attempt, it's actually good. The brewday had its difficulties, which were lessons learned. Also, in hindsight, I should have used tart cherries instead of sweet as you can barely taste them. They seem to come out more with aging somehow.

• 7.0kg Simpsons Maris Otter
• 0.5kg Warminster Crystal
• 0.5kg Warminster Flaked Malted Oats
• 0.5kg Weyermann Melanoidin Malt
• 0.3kg Warminster Chocolate
• 0.2kg Warminster Roasted Barley
• 0.1kg Weyermann Carafa Special 3
• 0.5kg Lactose sugar
• 570g of Dr. Oetkers (=cheap) cocoa powder in the boil. This was waaaaay too much and ended-up as sludge in the FV and I lost some packaging efficiency. I thought the three containers said 100g and I had my glasses off. My mistake.
• 1.2kg Frozen dark sweet cherries thawed and mashed in the FV, in a nylon bag.

100g of Fuggles for bittering at 33 IBU. Safale S-04 yeast. OG: 1.090 (assuming 1.093 w/cherries) and FG: 1.025. ABV of 8.9%.

Ended-up with 36 500ml bottles. Bottled 3 February 2021 and have six more aging after this one.

The dregs of a Robust Vanilla Oatmeal Porter after kegging half and bottling the rest. OYL-405 running through a dark wort is interesting to say the least. Super pleased with how it turned out. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. And a happy New Year

Wyoming Whiskey bourbon. I’ve never had it before. I like it. This may be my new go-to for medium high shelf small batch bourbon.

 

[grampamark]

Short pour of HB American Wheat Ale. I ate so much today I don’t think I have room for a full pint. May have to switch to whisky.

Xmas Eve, enjoyed the 12BOC from @jerbrew. Today, a selection from Bow & Arrow. The Dine’ women there know how to make a Czech Lager, both the light and dark versions were amazing!

I got to do a vertical tasting with these a few months ago with '14, '15, and '16. Then, the owner of the place sat down with us holding a jar of marshmallows and a crack torch. He toasted them on toothpicks, dipped them in the beer and passed them around. Awesome stuff.
