Tonight is my Friday and starting some Cobra Kai on Netflix.
 
Nice supply of good dark beers you got there! I'm a hoarder of the dark side myself! When the bombs go off and it's all circling the drain , I darn sure will go out holding a dark ale!
Those Trillium bombers have been collecting dust and must go. Some good hidden funk in there too. 3F's are so tempting
 
Trying a sample after a late-transfer Voss kveik for my new pitch. It's a local style called 'Olde Peculiar' a British-style ale.

Bumped it up a bit, started at 1.075ish... transferred today and found a steady 1.020 with no percolation. Looking at 8.5% at least..woot!

One more day or two, and I'll bottle with confidence. I love Voss!

Good beer. Hard style to get just right. Old ale.

i'm very happy, @seanjwalker1 it tastes really clean. So very happy I didn't add any extra dark malt to this darker beer.

I like to bump my beers, but this one was so coffee/smoky in initial boil, it didn't seem right.

Added plain bleached sugar, and it's going to be great. :yes:
 
A stout; it's in untapped. We are out for the third or sixth time this year (our last, too effing cold). Raccoons, beers, wine, great food, and no one else has to gall to eat out tonight. We ate under the stars, and I'll be damned if I didn't see a shooting star tonight. Very rare for this area, and it was consequently a big one.

OK....

I was talking about 'dark beer and coffee' because that's how my particular sample tasted to me.

Sheeessh!!!!

Did you use real Treacle and inverted sugar like the original? I had to wait like 6 weeks for my Golden Treacle from England. It came out ok but not spot on. And then waiting more than 6 months sucked. I believe Old P is supposed to be conditioned for a year. I didn't have temp control 6 years ago so maybe it would have come out better. But was ok.
 
It's early in the morning here. I'm having "Raven's Roast" Ethiopian coffee from Aldi. It was one of their Halloween blends. It's just good coffee with no flavorings (from reading the label you might think it had honey and fruit flavors added, but that was just a poor attempt a describing it) If your Aldi still has some, I highly recommend it. I didn't try the other one, "Sleepy Hollow"

SanJuanWorm is a fellow Canadian. Since we never threw the monarchy out, we can walk into the local grocery store (even Walmart) to buy some golden treacle. Next time you need just look north of the border instead of across the pond!

😂😂. You know I never thought of that! I got a whole truckload of 2nd cousins in Maple Leaf land right across the Detroit River!
