Pairing the remains of the beef and potatoes and carrots with a #murphys draught #stout. A proper dry stout, nitro smooth and malty finish. A perfect accompaniment!
Three Swords - Kirkstall Brewery - 4.5% ABV. B+ and bit. Extremely pale but big on taste. Malty, hoppy, fruity with a pleasing spiciness. Nicely Bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
Game On - J W Lees - 4.2% ABV. B+, gently malty with a fruity body with a tingle on the tongue. Lingering fruity / bitter finish #ale#beer#bier
3/5. Pleasant and very drinkable but not outstanding in any direction. The big freeze is over with a high of 6c today. Amber wind warning tomorrow. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Closing out with #surlyBrewing CoCo Nitro Darkness, super smooth cocoa, deep and barrel- aged sweetness, really ending up as the favorite of the 2023 varietals!
#untitledArt barrel-aged German chocolate cake pastry stout opens with a big cherry chocolate nose and a barrel slap from the 17% ABV(!). Sharp yet smooth in a deep black full bodied pour.
@beersofmastodon and my wife, NOT the beer drinker, adds that the COCONUT jumps out to her and of course I missed that completely, but it’s definitely there as things warm further.
Brewery De Drie Ringen from Amersfoort (NL) makes nice beers. Their naming is somewhat unconventional, though. In the picture you see a Kölsch named Blond (label says Kölsch), a Weizen named Wit (malted wheat, lots of banana, no coriander or citrus) and a Brown Ale named Dubbel. Confusing! @beersofmastodon#craftbeer#beer#BeerStyles
