The Craft Beer Thread

Well...these are new horizons for me.

I love stout, especially Russian Imperial. And I love a unique and well brewed Sour.

Now imagine combining the two...it shouldn't make sense, but boy oh boy, it does when Hazeldean does it !!

As good a time as any...

Huge explosion of tropical fruit on the nose when you open the can. But a bit downhill from there TBH...very subdued on the palate and quite thin and short finish. After a while in the glass the fruit is all gone and you're left with a dry, dusty nose and aftertaste.

ITS READY!!!!!!!! I present my most elaborate beer to date....

Smoked s'more porter - my Imperial Pastry Porter masterpiece

Attempting to turn this into a BEER

Will only have another one this year now about 2.5 months old, then the rest go into long term "storage" a dedicated fridge at 10 degC

It ended just shy of 9% the perfect abv to age. No trace of "hot" alchohol but my belly is warming, going to be awesome for winter.

With Cocoa nibs, roasted marshmallow, vanilla beans and lactose for extra creamy smoothness and 10 malts, all selected to make up the smore flavours.

The head on this beer just turned out to be BEAUTIFUL rich brown color.

Notes of chocolate, coffee, touch of smoke and I can actually taste the marshmallow which I think is really awesome!

I think this thing will age beautifully its already great next time I do something like this I will try barrel age it.

Here it is in all its beauty!!!! I wont lie I am super proud of this one!

It's one of their open-source recipes might attempt to brew it

COCOA PSYCHO - BrewDog Recipes

Vanilla pods and toasted oak chips add a rounded character to this massive Russian Imperial Stout, brewed with a hefty malt bill, cacao nibs and coffee beans. Dark malts combine with Cascade to add a punchy bitterness, strong enough to offset the big chocolate sweetness.
