How would u compare it to a Guiness? Mmmm @PintsAtMeLocal Pintster mate that really is quite a good and somewhat difficult question mate - cos there are a few different Guinlesses too - the 4% or so we get over here on tap brewed in Aussie - then there is 6% bottled stuff from Ireland export we get over here in bottles - and I think that with the fear of sounding a bit daft - IP Mountain Stout is a bit more full bodied and more choccy - less dry - and a bit more creamy - maybe a little more like the festive Beamish - but you know as a small batch brewer you can stick in as much malted grain as you like and if you wanted to go commercial you would probs go broke real fast - but there is no doubt that leaving this stuff in the keg cold and under pressure for months really does somehow smooth it all out a bit hard sorta to describe. But it is steak-in-a-glass so probs good it is running out as I need to drop the kgs rather that beat the live-weight-gain local record ; ) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 The end is nigh... this brew has never tasted better so the keg is gunner crash shortly... isn't that the one maxim we agree on - that the best beer out of the keg is the last one? Sorry about same-old-same-old brew but it is rather taschty and it is a different fencepost The weather has been outright feral.... so as the festive Oirish taught us... treat with creamy topped Black Brew: 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Pure Gold 'Ceptor @interceptor that challenging and vexed difficult question is one that I am still yet trying to come to grips with ; ) I shall pop out to the magnificent aged Stout in a minute to top-up and see whether I can find an answer to that : ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Suspect you are right Ceptor @interceptor but for the time being I am flummoxed, bewildered and perplexed - as this far kennn Stouty-boi keg which is supposed to be emptying - just keeps on pouring!?! I thought I was doing the good deed in draining the sucker as once I can get it outta there it will be easier to keep the (erstwhile brew-fridge) Fridge door closed... Seems like the task at hand was in volume larger than I had thought : | 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I just had a visit from @DavidM & we had an APA ( my first AG brew ) he seemed to like it. His is a lovely bloke & welcome anytime. I tried to twist his arm to have one out of the tap but to his credit he declined as he had to drive home, about 1 & half hours.

Must say Thanks for the beer @Classic Brewing Co Dropped in at Phil's Bar & Grill, sampled His first All Grain brew, very Nice. That was One of the better beers I've had, well done. I'm sure they will only get better, hope to try one again. But sadly it's a long way home, just shy of 100k, so no hanging about. Thanks 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hey David, glad to hear you got home safe & thank you for your kind words, I look forward to having a few more with you. It is a great thing catching up with fellow brewers & I have been fortunate to meet & drink with a few, so Phil's Bar & Grill is open to anyone who want's to darken my doorstep. Just ring the doorbell with your elbow. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Faaarrrrr Outtttt it's frrrrrrreezin Tidying up the remnants - Delish Mtn Stout finally is gone - and now K1 (Kölsch No.1) keg also just blew - means I can repatriate the brew fridge K1 is gone - long live K2 ; ) This was a backfill brew over the K1 Lally Kölsch Yeast Cake and is less funky than K1 and although both good beers - I do prefer K2 - a magnificent drop. Noone will likely believe me but honestly on the second shot I had to hurry as I was in danger of the wind blowing me festive tall thin glass off the post-n-rail 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Just the weather for it, and my house stout is coming along nicely. Some roasty goodness, with an ever so slight hint of chocolate and vanilla. 1 month in the keg, see how long I can resist sampling more, a bit more time and it will be even better. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that mate, I can see that disappearing fairly quickly, well in my wee house it would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
