Not a bad Christmas day beer wise.

The two Cloudwater DIPAs are excellent. The v10 a bit better than the v8. The oats they used in the v10 really smooth it out.

Three sours. Apple, cranberry and cherry from Wisconsin. A bit sweet, but beautifully carbonated. Plum geuze from Tilquin - very tart and restrained fruit. Hommage from 3 Fonteinen - the stand out of the day. A raspberry and sour cherry beer - super complex and a dry funky finish. A real treat to get to try this one.

Two imp stouts. Black Albert on coffee from De Struise. Very strong coffee and chocolate flavour, almost sour they put so much coffee in it. Lorelei from Omnipollo/Siren. All Omnipollo beers are weird and this is no exception. It's a coconut maple toast imp stout - smells and tastes like ice cream. Couldn't drink a lot of it, but in small doses very nice. Would be lovely over a bowl of ice cream.

American IPA (Shipyard, 5% abv)

I can think of worse ways to make up a 4 for £5 beer quartet at the supermarket. The label sells it pretty accurately, a lot of peppery hop bitterness, with a bit of citrus/floral over that, I think and the merest suggestion of some caramel. Not much oily pine, which seems unusual for an APA, but bright and refreshing.

Mrs M says: "Very Nice. Now eat some more of the leftover food."

They sell that in a "sports bar" locally on draft (I go fur the formula one or gee gees). It tastes a bit like a chemist's impression of an IPA; better than the Foster's, kronenburg & carling that is the alternative but like essensce of hop IYKIM.. Anyway, sometimes I have cider.

I didn't get that from the bottled one, fwiw. Generally, in the places where I've seen it on tap, there are more enticing offerings on the pumps in any case...

Had a couple of pints of Hook Norton Twelve Days in the boozer, extremely good.

Today I'm feeling a little bit delicate

Round at friends last night. Brewdog Punk. A mixed Goose Island box. Somehow the toffee vodka got opened

 

[MossCommuter]

We have: the Kernel export stout raspberry (sour stout! Who knew?), Magic rock dark arts (coffee, dark, rich) and mosaic promise (meh). Cider is also in shot (soz)

Also lucky enough to find Big Dipper (cloudwater and magic rock collaboration) on draft. All these dippers start to taste the same

Tempest release a new beer tomorrow, 660ml and £14.50 per bottle..."The Old Fashioned takes our well-loved orange and ginger double IPA, and infuses it with the smooth, warming, vanilla character of Heaven Hill’s famous Kentucky straight bourbon." Only 75 cases made, so I suppose I'd best get along early.
