Beer?

[rich p]

I had an Old Hooky just to make me wistful not having seen the old git 3BM for many moons and followed it with a Proper Job from St Austell and a golden ale from Harveys called Stopover Brew - not half bad .

You got that beer plugged into your laptop, rich - talk about electric soup!?

West Coast IPA from Green Flash. This is supposed to be one of the benchmarks of the west coast style. Pretty good and , like all Green Flash ales, well made, but seems to lack a little freshness. Probably better in California!

Edit: no idea why the photos the wrong way around. Bring back tapatalk!

I had Solstice d'Hiver from Dieu Du Ciel last night. The best of theirs I've tried so far - really excellent.

It's a barley wine, although a bit sweeter than other barley wines I've tried. I guess they must use some brown sugar which gives a real molasses depth. There's also some welcome piney hop flavour and good warming alcohol. To be honest, i was a bit underwhelmed by the Peche Mortel - I think the competition for Imperial Stouts is pretty fierce and it was a bit light for me. The Solstice d'Hiver though is something else!

I took Li'l George to an open farm today to see the cows, chickens and pigs. The ulterior motive was the well-stocked beer shop they have there. It specialises in cider - some directly from barrels, but also a great beer selection.
This porter is the Black Pearl from Anchor Spring brewery in Littlehampton - not named after me incidentally!
Chewy, toffee, treacly, with a nice hint of bitterness. Lovely and new to me.

I made some ale bread rolls last week using half wholemeal, half white but to be honest if I'm not sure the ale added anything apart from making the bread look grey. I used a medium bitter - what was yours like MG?

Meantime is dark and chocolaty...a great compliment to the nuttiness of the spelt flour and the results were a lovely brown colour. Dark/stout/porter type ales are the best IMO for baking.
