8 - hwall95 - Mocha Stout, 7%, I gave it a pretty vigorous pour and it formed a small tan head that dissipates quickly (I blame the fact SWMBO keeps putting my beer glasses through the dishwasher despite my objections). A sniff and I get the aroma of coffee plus chocolatey malt, no...

Hey guys, thanks for all the positive feedback on my Kiwi Bright Ale. I was really pleased with the way it turned out (it was my first brew using my new BIAB crown urn) and I'm gratified that others are enjoying it as much as I have. Cheers :chug:

W00t - 'Hell on Wheels' is back with a new season! This show is so bad-ass B)

Horray for brewing week! Another two put down on Tuesday/Wednesday past... Vienna Centennial SMASH 23lts ABV: 5.1% IBUs: 31.5 OG: 1.050 FG: 1.013 100% Weyermanns Vienna Malt Magnum 14.5%AA @ 60min to 9 IBUs Centennial 8.9% @ 60min to 11 IBUs Centennial 8.9% @ 15min to 11.5 IBUs Centennial...

Oh shoot! Sorry man I misread the date and thought it was good to go... like I said I don't drink a lot of stouts but it seemed pretty good to my uncultured tastebuds. I don't doubt it'll mellow and grow more complex with time but I enjoyed it as it was. I hope you don't mind me jumping the gun...

So you don't want me molesting your beer, Liam? :ph34r: ...but yeah, funs over. These reviews are taking me half an hour to write. From here on I'll just snap a pic, write a line or two of detailed notes and then sit back and enjoy the beer I've been given.

4.- Madpierre06 - Coffee Imperial Stout Bottle with an underlined 4 , ...or as I like to call it 'Darker than Midnight in Freezing Bloody Winter'. I'm going all out for you MP. A smooth silken pour forms a deep tan head on this particular lady, she seems alluringly dark and mysterious to my...

It's a bit after Midnight and I've just got home from work time for a glass or two of my... AA American Wheat It turned out great; a classic 50/50 wheat & 2-row malt bill single hopped with Amarillo and fermented with Wyeast 2565 Kolsh yeast with some citrus zest thrown in at the end of...

10- Seehuusen - American Wheat IPA Two of my favourite styles; A wheat and an American IPA in one beer? What could be better?! The bottle opens with a crack of escaping gases and the floral/fruity aroma. It pours a bit cloudy, I figure I haven't been gentle enough with the bottle and forms a...

7 - Luggy- Irish Ale, 6.2% Cheers gents. The bottle opens with a satisfying hiss of escaping gas and a sniff fills my nose with delicate floral and spice notes - even a touch of herbal tones? The dark amber liquid pours smooth and clear into my glass forming a small head that quickly...

Happy Birthday BradsBrew. I still have fond memories of my first case swap at your workplace... I'm raising a glass of my Apollo pale ale to your health sir. A fine drop for a fine dude...

Quick question; Has anyone used any especially interesting yeasts that might be worth harvesting from the bottles? My Kiwi Bright Ale is just brewed on good ol' US-05 (and no worse off for it). I'm just wondering if it's worth saving the dregs for re-culturing from anyone's bottles...

It's a bloody cold night again and time for a darker beer. 5. Liam_Snorkel - Robust Porter - chosen in part for the alluring Ainsley Harriott quote on the bottle. I cracked the bottle and poured. I think mine is a bit lower on the carb level as the head didn't really form and it's quite...

Definitely get onto those Kiwi Bright Ales soon sir. I had one this past weekend & they are good for drinking now while the hops are still pretty fresh. I'm real happy with the way it turned out. It almost makes me wish that I hadn't swapped it all away (but then I wouldn't have all this other...

It's quart past midnight, I've just got home from work and it's 7'c outside - time for a cold beer methinks, as I'm a sensible lad. 24 screamadellica's Belgian IPA I crack the beer and she has an earthy sweet smell that is accentuated as I raise her to my lips, inhaling through my nose as her...

I might as well jump on the Earls Hoppy Hefe train... Another midnight finish and a day off tomorrow so I'm really relishing this beer. It pours with a nice big paper-white head and has a full fruity aroma, if I had to guess then I might detect Mosiac here? It is a nice slightly cloudy deep...

Oh man, it's been a month and this sucker is still fermenting! I haven't taken another SG test yet but I'm fermenting it in a spare cube and I sealed it up tight on monday figuring I'd get around to bottling it on the weekend. Well, when I was checking on a few other things in my brewcave today...

20. Adr_0 - English IPA Had it at midnight last night after knocking off the late shift at work. A really nice drop! I thought I got a whiff of bubblegum when I cracked the bottle but upon pouring the aroma was spicy with a hint of floral tones; It poured nicely (no chunks or anything in...

9. Meno - Kiwi Bright Ale ...technically ready to drink now but another week in the bottle would do it some good methinks.

Morning (Oh my head) Gents... what an awesome night... great seeing y'all again and meeting some of you lads I haven't met before. I really enjoyed a whole bunch of the beers on offer and jeebus but there were some great sours. Time to get myself into some Brett brewing methinks.
