MPA is awesome, although I need to try it again as I had sinusitis when I last had it (I wasn't able to hold onto it until the sinusitis had cleared). Despite my snoz being out of action, I was still able to enjoy the huge bitterness. Here's a couple of more beers from the UK (a couple of...

:icon_drool2: Hmmm... Time to bump my alt up the "to brew" list! :icon_cheers:

Hmmm. I can feel a trip to Kln coming on (and a side trip to Dsseldorf thrown in for good measure).

Fruh Kolsch. This is the pick of the two kolsch that I had yesterday. light hop/malt aroma. Flavour is fairly light and easy going with enough hop presence and carbonation for either a session beer or for knocking back one or two on a hot day. Kuppers Kolsch. Light fruity aroma. Fairly...

I saw TNP at UtoBeer at London Borough Markets this morning for about 45 (~A$85). Still, its a lot of money to spend. One beer that I did grab was Aecht Schlenkerla Lager. Soft smoky and malty aroma. Nice clean taste again with the hint of smoke coming through. It was a really enjoyable...

Fair point. I did get to a Fullers pub last night and had an ESB served in a chalice glass (which helped to wash down an ESB/steak pie). I also had a Hook Norton Haymaker with one of the brewers and their marketing people at a pub in Covent Garden. Unfortunately I didn't really enjoy either...

Cool picture!

St Austell's Tribute - Citrus aroma, thinnish malty body with perhaps a touch of astringency. Didn't really enjoy it. Grolsch Weizen - Clove was more pronounced than banana. Plenty of carbonation and a not much hop character. I didn't expect much of Grolsch given that they are a reasonably...

I'm hoping for a Tooheys Old style ale... Pop's Sauce Size: 20.0 L Efficiency: 67% Original Gravity: 1.048 (1.040 - 1.052) Terminal Gravity: 1.012 (1.008 - 1.014) Alcohol: 4.71% (4.0% - 5.4%) Bitterness: 20.0 (18.0 - 35.0) Ingredients: 2.0 kg Simpsons Maris Otter 2.0 kg Wey Pilsner Malt 0.2...

A take-away shop in Coffs used to sell lemon, herb and garlic chicken nuggets. Get them sprayed with vinegar and I was in heaven. :icon_drool2: Re: Chiko rolls. You have to ask the chef to cook it until its arse busts. (breaks at the seams)

My saison (unfiltered) and Petesbrew's Oud Bruin. My saison was a bit harsh at first, but improved greatly once I let it warm up. Whilst I did enjoy my beer, Pete's beer was better for the cooler night.

+1 Why go to too much effort when Saisons are perfect for making and drinking in the summer heat. Have a read of this... http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style16.php#1c

Sarcophilus Satanicus (Belgian Golden Strong Ale based on Jamil's recipe) Size: 21.0 L Efficiency: 67.0% Original Gravity: 1.080 Terminal Gravity: 1.008 Color: 4.89 Alcohol: 9.48% Bitterness: 32.5 Ingredients: 6 kg Pilsner Malt 1.4 kg Raw sugar (sucrose) 39.0 g B Saaz (7.0%) - added during...

Try calling Kris Wines or UtoBeer... http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/FindPlacesB...amp;City=London

Perhaps Clone Brews and Beer Captured assume that you'll be doing a concentrated boil (which affects hop utilisation).

+1 to The Rake (for international beers) and The Market Porter (for English beer) at the London Borough Markets. Unfortunately I don't think that Utobeer open's until Thursday, but you can buy takeaway from The Rake. Nate2g mentioned Harveys - I think that it is on full time at The Market...

Choc Hazelnut Porter. Based mostly on Jamils recipe, although I added choc wheat instead of black malt. Size: 21.0 L Efficiency: 67.0% Original Gravity: 1.066 Terminal Gravity: 1.019 Color: 28.06 Alcohol: 6.14% Bitterness: 37.3 Ingredients: 5.5 kg Maris Otter 0.34 kg Chocolate Malt 0.23...

The Hop was only done as a one-off, although he does have plans for a bigger beer when someone tops the current IBU record. The Royal Oak (in Wantage) was one of last years top 4 pubs in England (as voted by CAMRA members) so it is worth a visit if you're in that neck of the woods. Of course...
