Back home after a taxing as always evening with the in-laws. Drinking my Quad and then going to bed.
Only good thing i've had so far was some 30 year old scotch and I don't like scotch but it was very nice!
Now this, young but tasty, stone fruit, tart.
This was a small batch and I started a 5 gallon batch after I tasted at bottling, hope it comes out as well, going to be fun seeing how this develops.
In my house, once it starts looking clear and hitting its peak,
that means it's about to kick.
I assume you have no "funk" flavors yet? Bottled a month ago or brewed?
No funk at all brewed 7/26 , bottled 10/16.
What can I expect?

It's got a funk that I appriciate but didn't expect. Swmbo demanded that this be the next beer we try. She might have a mild simco addiction.

for me, Brett sets in solid around 8 months. Maybe around April you will taste the farmyard, leathery, hoarse blanket, funk that Brett can add. If you have never had a Brett beer then the flavor is next to impossible to describe, but it IS good.
Mmmm horse blanket?
Interesting.... SWMBO in my house is a hop head too but she tried this one last week and didn't even finish it. Said it had an aroma of cat urine. I use Simcoe in my IPA's but always with other hops.
Home sweet home. Not as good as i remember this beer being.

Yeah, I agree. That last time I had it, it was very thin and had an alcohol bite that I didn't remember.
Some IPA's and more aged cheddar.
Great brew! Exactly what it says... Imperial Biscotti break with sour cherries.
The issue with this one is it's a nice change of pace, but I can't do more than 2 glasses in a row. I only made 2.5 gal, just seems to never end. Which is why I've switched to my cascade pale.

This is one of those times where I wish I had a 6+ tap kegerator. At least you could enjoy a beer over a long amount of time versus finishing a keg to finally get a new one on tap.
after the food coma, now time for double bastard ale
