I tried some of the Wild Beer output - not to my taste but I did favour for someone recently who bought me a bottle of Mikkeller Wild beer. I may wait until some others are here before I open it!

Never tried it. Bought a bottle oncd, but the cobbles of Delft did for it and it jiggled out the bag and smashed. Smelled lovely though: like Orval.

Samuel Smith India Ale - 5%.
Very nice - fermented in stone Yorkshire squares of course.

A trip out to the local last night.
Two beers tried;
Voodoo Dawn (3.9% abv)
A nice, red bitter. Malty in the main taste, with a decent dry finish and a pleasant bitter undertone through the main taste.
Trooper (4.7% abv)
An Iron Maiden "collabo" as the young people say. Pale coloured, but tasting more like a light-ish best bitter. Some malt, some citrus, some bitter notes all in the taste. Depending on your mood, subtle or mildly flavoured.
I liked both beers, personally, but have to admit that they're solid mid table beverages, not those you excitedly jot down the details of so you can search them out again.

I've been brewing my own, using a Woodforde's Wherry kit. I'm pretty please with the results, especially after conditioning it in bottles for a few weeks. It has a good malty nose and taste, but if I have one criticism, it's slightly thin-bodied, which I think is down to it being a little lower in alcohol than planned, due to the fermentation getting stuck. I intend to do the next brew with more yeast added, and see if that does the trick.

Speaking of home brewing, I so want one of these. It's a bit like a teasmaid, but does beer using a nifty recirculating infusion mash system. It costs about 1500 EUR unfortunately, so I need to do a few more paper rounds.

Off to the brewery for an early freebie sesh, they've got a couple of new crafty jobs they want to road test, a 7.5 and a 9%. It could all end very quickly. Will report back when sober enough to type.

That looks fantastic, I'm adding it to my want list. Did you see the customer reviews, worth leaving this around for Mrs DP?
Received with praise
At Christmas time I ordered a Braumeister for my husband as a Christmas present. I just wanted to tell you is that the first beer has been brewed, enjoyed and was received with praise. My husband and the other tasters are enthusiastic. Thanks again for your kind advice and all the best.

Yeah, this looks excellent. Apparently a lot of microbreweries are using these kinds of devices to test recipes.
I'm in a good mood right now, because one of my favourite local haunts has had Dieu du Ciel! Péché Mortel coffee Imperial Stout on tap for the last week...

You can make really good stuff with them, so I'm not surprised by that. I have a couple of friends who use one to brew stuff which they sell in a local bar. I think the only potential drawback is that with the smaller ones you're a bit limited on ABV, so you'd need some kind of work around for big beers.
Ah, Peche Mortel.: I do like a good coffee stout!!

I interpreted the response as not a definite no.

Not far off, but like I said, not exactly a definite no!
