Classic Brewing Co Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 OK this is the 2nd tasting of @disgruntled's lovely beer he sent me, this seems like it would be the Saison, I have to tell you at opening I got an immediate aroma of hops & a freshness, it is perfect, pours really well & a cloudy yet clean looking beer with a beautiful white creamy head. It is smooth & fruity with a nice mouthfeel balanced with a nice hop bite & a lingering bitterness. The carbonation is perfect as you can see in the second photo. I rate this very high, I could drink this all the time, well done mate. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The first one was this Berserker Juice ( I posted this photo the other day but I have been busy so here are a few comments ) This is a whole new ball game, I have never tasted anything like this before - a party in your mouth, wow, thick, murky very citrusy but the hops come through & before you can swallow you are presented with a slightly tart, orangey taste followed by a pleasant bitter after taste, you can definitely taste the alcohol but that's OK as after a couple of glasses you know you are going to feel the effect. This is something, in my opinion, you would only have now & again but it is certainly very enjoyable. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your concern @Ceebut that is a brew fridge & it is not turned on, hence the door ajar. It will be shut soon when I get a few more brews going.

Now for the RIS - Russian Imperial Stout from @disgruntled I poured this one carefully as on opening it was like holding a fire extinguisher but I managed to get it in the glass, Wow what a flavour, I am still getting different complex roasty malt flavours, caramel, obviously the experienced use of grain & hop additions but I am truly impressed, I have brewed many stouts in my lifetime even in the old days, as basic as you could get them. Stout is very forgiving as it is very hard to stuff it up using kits. This is the work of someone who truly understands the science of creating a traditional recipe yet able to disguise the obvious high alcohol content, excellent work Dissa I am totally impressed, each mouthful keeps you guessing which grains & hops were used. At 8% it is not for the faint hearted - now I need a lie down It seems AG has it merits, well done @disgruntled & thanks for sending me your fine beverages, I hope you enjoy your Stubby Coolers ( for Al Holders ) I will send you a couple of my Pales when they come off the press. Cheers Phil 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was carbed using the Muzzy Method or the secret Fizzy-Dissa Method? @disgruntled? I don't think I have done an AG and bottled in PET's, always Kegged them and used some glass stubby's so interested on his carb sugar technique just in case.

Pints Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Dark ale between 4 and 5 weeks old I think, too lazy to check my records lol! 50g fuggles dry hop. Tasty beer meant for aging 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 It's that time of the day, my wheat beer continues to satisfy, I still have over a carton of longnecks left so that definitely is not a bad thing. Mt first brew APA, in the new place is in week in the FV & it was done with Nottingham so I am looking to bottle in a few days. Tomorrow another Pale goes down & then I will launch an all out attack to get all 6 fermenters going - have to build stocks up.

Classic Brewing Co Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Here it is, I didn't have any Wheat Malt Extract on hand so I used what what I had in stock but it still turned out fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The second last glass of my Coopers Vintage Ale 2020. As you can see from the photo, bottled just over a year ago. Still tastes amazing. This was one I carbonated to half fizz. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus if you don't mind me asking I am puzzled slightly with your beer, no doubt it would be an exceptional brew however with the absence of a creamy white head, why is this so ? Please don't think I am criticising but I needed to ask, Cheers Phil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Woohoo to the Kit in Kilo Team (Doubles Boys Kokkinakis n Kyrgios) as well! I think that Kit = Thanasi cos he has substance and adds directive flavour to the positive outcome.... and Kilo = Nickos the loony who adds loadsa grunt and power to the brew ... but I have been wrong before 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
