Having suddenly run out of gas again ( must have a "sometimes" leak - that doesn't leak when I go looking with soap and water, or at all for a few months, then empties my cylinder in a day or 2) I have been getting stuck into the Autumn and Winter beermason's packs as well as a few other bits and pieces I had stashed for a rainy day.
The chimay Blue (2010) is ageing well. The 2010 Coopers vintage ale has really improved with a bit of time.
Also these:
Underwhelming. Almost a gusher, maybe OK, but weizens aren't among my fave styles.
From the same makes, a pretty decent English pale ale.
Another wheat, a Weizenbock, and I did enjoy this one. Delicious.
Vert sessionable APA. Nothing outstanding, but I reckon I'd be happy enough to brew it and I reckon anyone who drinks beer (Megaswill) would also be able to enjoy it.
A lager (Bock) with balls! Nice.
Now you're talking. A lovely amber ale. Great malts well balanced with hops but not dominated by them. Great winter beer.
Pick of the bunch from the brewery? American strong ale. Really delicious, great aromas, and visually appealing. Bright, great head, that lasted the whole drink and laced well. Mmmm.
A great imperial stout. I liked it a lot. Similar to my house stout, but even bigger mouthfeel, and roastier flavours, and almost double (%10,5abv) the alcohol. A real sipper, perfect on a cold night in front of the fire.
