Beerlust Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Coopers DIY recipe: Island Toasted Coconut Porter. Out of a pewter mug is the way I like to drink 'em, so sorry, no fancy pics here. @Coopers DIY Beer Team Delicious! I have about a dozen longnecks left. Really enjoying them now the cold snap has hit. Cheers, Lusty. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Not a bad little ALDI beer, UK Ruby Red having a few of these warm up beers before the state of origin tonight. Smoky coffee and toffee apple aroma and taste. Couldnt find me bottle opener so improvised with the letter opener. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzala Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I bought some of those Aldi beers at the weekend - got one of each of the 6 UK beers. Agree with you about the Medusa - cracking ale this one. There was another red ale - can't remember the name - but the Medusa is the better of the 2. And $4 per 500ml bottle is pretty good I reckon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at a really nice level right now with the other malt derived flavours of the beer. Even if you're not a huge fan of coconut, I reckon you'd like this beer. I've tagged it as one to have a play with again. 2 hours ago, Ben 10 said: ...Freaking cold here too at the moment. 12.4° apparently. Bahaha! That ain't cold! Our maximum temp for today wasn't much higher than that! It spent a fair whack overnight between 2° & 6°C here. I could of shut my keezer down & thrown the kegs on the back lawn! Cheers & enjoy the Winter beers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made me remember I was watching an episode of Craigtube once when he actually had his keg out in the snow to chill , I thought that was pretty cool pardon the pun I think he is from Canada If I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I went to pour a red ale last night and it just spluttered, so that one is done. On Saturday I'm kegging the FWH Cascade ale, of which the surplus will be added to the little keg that already has about 5-6 litres of red ale in it. That little keg will go in to be carbonated and should be ready to pour on Sunday. Still got half a carton plus the stout on tap to tie me over for the next couple of days. Might still grab a sixer of something though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Went with the suggestion of mixing my RIS that went a bit flat with another carbonated one. Went with a English bitter, had made it quite drinkable to be honest. Can't taste the EB at all though that stout has a strong flavour that shines thru. Nice little winter warmer. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petronius towers from memory near Kuala Lumpur. Enjoy getting magnets from the country's I visit at work. My youngens enjoy them and it's a good little reminder. Haven't tested the accuracy of the temp on it .. brought it mostly due to the pineapple lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the fizz and alcohol from another beer, would put me nicely to sleep after a litre or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Actually, mixing it with another beer would lower the overall ABV in the glass, not increase it, probably somewhere between 1-3% depending on what the other beer's ABV is. Still reasonably strong but not as strong as a full glass of the RIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Some would say dilution is the solution to pollution.... I do not agree But I suspect SOS' other beer would have alc in it - so although the 9.3% may come down overall average ABV in the vessel... the other Alc in other beer added by Shamus would still add to the overall soporific effect Ah this site is a beautiful thing... arguing about beer semantics at 7 o'clock in the morning ?!
