International baltic porter day!
Didn't know that, but did happen to have a couple of bottles of
Utrenos Baltic Porter over the weekend. Really like that beer.
Galway Hooker Stout, first time having their stout, really nice.
Wood Key - Pilgrim. Hadn't been in a rush to have this, not a huge fan of red ales, but WOW...really impressed with this0 -

My haul for last week.
The Full Irish is an outstanding IPA. I'm not the biggest IPA fan but the aroma of this one was amazing. Real burst of orange and grapefruit with a similar taste. I'm not the greatest at taste descriptions but trust me on this, it's great.
I posted about Rochefort 6 last week and that amazing first try lead me to purchase a couple more abbey ales (including a Rochefort 8 & 10 not pictured here). And wow, I am not disappointed. These are fast becoming my favourite type of beer altogether. I'm planning on homebrewing a Rochefort 8 clone in a months time or else I'll end up spending way too much on these from the off license
The Boon Mariage Parfait Geuze and the Siren Calypso Berliner Weisse were my first dips into sour beers. After hearing a tonne of hype for these I decided to try them out. Maybe my palate isn't refined enough but I don't the hype over these types. The sourness overpowered all other flavours in my mind and the Geuze actually tasted closer to a cider than an ale. I appreciate it was my first time trying these types of beer so I'm going to keep trying and testing different types before dismissing them as not my thing.
Is anyone here using the Untappd app? Found it just before Christmas and it's great for logging new beers etc. Feel free to add me there, I have no friends at the minute (:(). Username is BrewDorg.0 -
Two very different beers. You might be nearly at the end of your sour beer educationUnknownSpecies wrote: »The Boon Mariage Parfait Geuze and the Siren Calypso Berliner Weisse were my first dips into sour beers.
You'll make the monks sad talking like that. They're all trappist beers, as in actually made inside a monastery. "Abbey beers" is the term used for the fake ones that use the name of a monastery but aren't made in one, like Leffe, St Bernardus, Affligem and the like.UnknownSpecies wrote: »a couple more abbey ales0 -

To be fair, I could tell that the two sours were drastically different. I'd like to give the Geuze another shot in the summer as it seems more refreshing than warming. I've been keeping an eye out for any remaining bottles of Kinnegars offering but haven't managed to find it yet.
Apologies to any monks offended, I meant Trappist of course :P0 -
