Not exactly my wine of choice by any standard...but i'm suprised how clean the flavour is...especially considering how **** a condition the cork was in!!!
Only a hint of sweetness towards the beginning, with a bit of pineapple, honey and sultana. Has bugger-all length, a touch of acid.
I have a feeling I probably couldn't down this wine in its hay day...probably too sweet for my tastes.
Actually halfway through it starts to take a turn for the worst...bit of sediment, bit of mouldiness, not good! :icon_vomit:

My 'no guilt' mild at roughly 3%. :super: Damn tasty for such a low strength beer. :icon_drool2:
 
That weizenbock looks tasty :icon_drool2:

I'm currently hooking into a triple karmeliet

Hey, yer pics are coming along. Did you build a light box? How's the weizenbock?

reVox

Thanks revox. I mucked around with a lightbox, but ended up sloping a bit of cardboard against a wall and the kitchen bench and pointed a bedside lanp at the wall so it bounced off behind the glass.
Its not perfect but I'm happy with it.

And the weizenbock is very nice. All the cloves and bananas have mellowed and merged with raisins and well .. yum!
Its been a month in the bottle and interestingly, the 500ml bottles aren't ready to drink. The cloves are too overpowering.
 
First crack at a Dunkelweizen, hoppier than style guidelines, but thats what I like.

currently drinking a nice Rauchbier

40% smoked malt, the rest munich, some german crystals and carafa spec 2

Hopped with SAAZ, fermented with US-05 as it was all i had that wasnt a lambic blend at the time.

one pic indoors showing its dark colour and one outdoors with a bit of sun behing showing the deep amber hue :)

Mashed with 52 deg protein rest for 20 min and then 65 for 60 min. No mash out, cool 72 deg sparge. Very smooth malty beer that holds a head you cant kill. Even after it sits for 20 min it still holds the head to the bottom of the glass. Very happy with it!

cheers

And here is the Scottish 70/- i have in bottles.

No chilled and when served at cold lager temps its crystal clear. My first really really clear No Chill beer that wasnt a stout!

Must have been the Golden Promise.

Recipe is in the database. Tastes fantastic too!

cheers

Looks awesome Tony.
That is the glass I've been hunting for my Wheatwine.
Made enquires at a couple of websites that had them listed, but never heard back from them :(
Where did you get yours from ?
