Last beer tonight, another Munich Dunkel kindly sent by @YeastFace. It’s a very different beast to mine. Darker in colour and I expect closer to style. Rich malty brown bread aroma with a bit of toffee. The flavour follows with layered toasty malt flavours and chocolatey roast notes. Soft rich mouthfeel and a nice dry finish.
It’s a great beer, thanks for sharing it.
I drank the two in the correct order, my dunkel is much simpler in flavour with a Nobel hop contribution and this is a fantastic big complex malt-fest. Ideally I’d like to have a load of both to swing back and forward between as the mood took me.
Im guessing you’ve got some roasted grains in your recipe and more than one base malt, whereas I essentially brewed a Munich/Saaz SMASH. It’s really interesting to taste them side by side.
There’s a bottle of Double D heading your way, interested to hear how you think they compare. Cheers

Golden ale and American Amber for me tonight
Stout. Glass looks a bit dirty, but Nitro seems to be nearly there. Keg almost empty.
Another day working in the garden and now enjoying a few beers my wife bought for me when she took an elderly aunt shopping. This is one of them.
Bad news from the vets with the cat so I'm drowning my sorrows midweek with this kind donation from my youngest.
My Stella Nova 4.7abv , European lager fermented with Nova lager yeast.

A mate called round for a few impromptu pints and I just had to try my recently kegged hazelnut brown nectar ale. Only kegged it two days ago and gave it a burst carb but this is a lovely beer. A big thank you to @Sorcerers Apprentice for giving me a steer with the hazelnut extract and water profile. This has turned out far better than I had hoped. Used 10ml in approx 18L but might go a little bit more next time. Loving this!
Another day in the garden and because the weather has been so good here today I’ve made good progress. Just as well really, I have beers to brew, beerlines overdue a clean, and then my annual garden maintenance (fence painting, jet washing, oiling the decking, etc.). Anyway, I’m having a black IPA now and will probably stay on this for a while.

Black heart tonight. It's about time they started doing it in pint cans to suit their pint glasses.

Bought on a whim because I liked the bottle, and while not my first choice it’s still quite drinkable.
Having a glass of my Best Bitter while cleaning my beer lines.
Hazy pale.
Am little bit disappointed by the lack of Galaxy presence, but otherwise it's a decent drinking beer.

That looks like the loneliest pint in the world.

Last taster of my Schwarzbier before sending off to Larger than Life
I know its getting a little repetitive but i really am enjoying these beers and with small breweries closing i am glad to do my bit for our local brewery.
Oh, this is good.
My 2nd attempt at Camden Pale Ale
which has come out amber due to the dark Munich malt.
Still, the flavour is hoppy and richly smooth.
Yeup, the more mineralised water has given it the body I was after.
2nd up is my KCB blended bitter.
I can see why my BIL liked this.
A proper hoppy bitter. Better than either of the two it was blended from.
By the way, @Chippy_Tea - where are all the usual suspects this evening?
