What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[HSD]

Red Fox Brewery Christmas box opened for business, Arctic Fox seriously good ale

Tonight first sample of my Golden Ale, I won't call it Summer Lightning strayed from the recipe somewhat, but still within the BJCP guidelines. Bottled on the 16 December so still some not fully carbonated, conditioning at 16-17 C. Tasting good, with sharp hop character coming through.

 

[Pennine]

Yes

Well then that one got a bit oxidized, very interesting. Maybe just the lighting? here is the recipe pennine's brewdays

Glad you enjoyed I love the recipe too although it's a little different than the beer I was trying to clone. I think I need to back off on the mosaic a bit.

Final advent beer, which I also drank a couple of nights ago was carribean chocolate cake, which thankfully is equal to last year's offering as I have a few more of them to go.
So the gang's all here:

Special shout out to the collaboration with varvar brew for an imperial coffee and coconut stout. I think it was day 12, and I drank it without having a camera handy.

This last night. Part of my monthly Northern Monk subscription. One of many absolute belters.

Edit. Terrible photo - can't really see it. It's Northern Monk Heaven 2020 Bourbon BA Imperial Stout 11%

Wow I would not of picked them hops out, mosiac being probably my most used and favourite hop. I got a spicy aroma and flavor of it. I really enjoyed it, I was expecting Chinook maybe Simcoe. It was my first beer of the day so it was a clean start

I am wondering if that spiciness is from the heavy magnum bittering charge. I agree, I just tasted it again and its definitely there.
The other thing is maybe the verdant yeast?

This one is about 5 days in the bottle. Not quite fully carbonated but it's going to be delicious. Vienna lager.

If you’re off the blocks with a quad you’ll probably sleep through Christmas!

 

[Pennine]

I am doing a Hazelwood sampler of my green beers, Vienna lager, wee heavy and a bit of my dipa before the quad.... so yeah might be a rough night for Santa.
