Sweet! Thanks for the review Mr VP.VP Brewing said:Just had the number 4 Belgian Golden Strong by JB. Made us think of when we were in Poperinge in 2007. Wicked, wicked beer. This style is on my list now.
Carb was spot on. The only fault I could find was there wasn't enough. Wish I didn't share it.JB said:Sweet! Thanks for the review Mr VP.
I hadn't tasted it recently, so not sure if the sharp fusels had smoothed out? How was the carb?
I was really disappointed with this brew and learnt a thing or two from it. To me I got no clear distinction between malt and hop character, I felt it was a bit muddied. Looking back through my notes this is the first brew I used mains water in for 1.5 years and lost 10% efficiency rather then the usual rainwater. I think I used just too many malts in this one also, instead of my simple approach I went the kitchen sink route again and with a few JW malts (no longer use them) and was disappointed.technobabble66 said:Hey MB, would you mind throwing up your Amber recipe ^^?
Always keen to see different versions of Amber recipes - one of my current obsessions is nailing 2 different types of Amber (a caramelly one & a toasty one, then either with lots or subtle hops).
Well I tried this when brewing sat nite. So black I couldn't see anything through 200w halogen worklight on the shed. Massive roast and chocolate which I loved. Poured thick - I was expecting it to to be very high bodied but actually was more on the more drinkable did. Really loved it- would be awesome by the pint.AJ80 said:6. Mayor of Mildura - Stouty Stout
Well, never has a name for a beer been more accurate. This is definitely a stout Stout. Pitch black with a thin dark tan head that hasn't really hung around. Burnt toast and coffee of the nose (breakfast stout anyone?). Flavour reminiscent of more burned toast and bitter dark chocolate. Plenty of body in the beer too and loving the low carbonation level. Deep bitterness, but tastes in balance to me. Very enjoyable beer mate, top notch.
Cheers mate. Just a tame 11% Belgian, perfect any day in my bookmudd said:4. JB - Belgian golden strong. Bottled 2/12/2015
Wow, strong banana on the aroma, nicely brewed beer. Strong Belgian flavour, if I'm not mistaken a bit too much of a kick for a week nite.
