In a drunk moment of inspiration, I added the Saaz hop addition at 30 minutes instead of at 15. |

Added approx. .5 l of one month old slurry. Brought slurry up to room temp prior to pitching. Fermentation is just showing the first signs of action, with aslowly developing floe of fine creamy bubbles, after nearly 24 hours. |

This is a wonderfully malty ale with earthy spicy yeast notes. Biscuity, bready, hints of caramel Malt is underpinned by herbal spicy hop notes. Delicious!
A: dark fruit, warm alcohol, cloves
Mouth: warming alcohol, medium carb., malty richness, dry finish
Flavour : warm alcohol, dark fruit, caramel, dark sugar, spice cake, mild herbal notes. Malt is prominent, with bitterness and dryness keeping it from being cloying.
Appearance: clear, deep copper, rapidly dissipating head. |

This is a rich malty brew. It has matured nicely at this point. |

This beer won a third place in Category 24 of the 2015 Brew Bomber's Pro Am in Winnipeg, MB.
It scored a 34 and 35.
Both judges felt the one thing that would improve this beer would be a touch of hop aroma. They felt this was too subdued. One judge thought the malt flavour was "one dimensional" though I don't agree with that at all. We might reduce the number of grains...maybe half the Aromatic?
An ABV of 6.5 would be nice as well, in our opinion.
Dave Rudge of Half Pints said that this category was very competitive, and the fact that we medaled was an indication of the quality of the beer. He said the wining Biere de Garde was not lagered or aged at all. Hmmm. |
