    My week long lapse into full blown alcoholism has now led to Salted Caramel Baileys being added to morning coffee.



    Currently having a Hazy Jane and it's exceptionally meh. Pretty sure this was one of the things that put me off the idea of NEIPAs in general.

    I've gone down the early evening imperial route and fear that ruin lies ahead.

    Mulled wine is, er, mulling.

    Red wine, amaretto, nutmeg, star anise, cinnamon and slices of orange.

    Just cracked one open, it's not bad. Smells like beer, looks like stout and it keeps it's head. There is the slightest off after taste (I'm being hyper critical, I probably wouldn't notice it if I hadn't made it). I'm assuming that's the temperature issues I had?

    Wouldn’t be 100% without tasting it but fairly likely. Unsteady fermentation temp is one of the biggest reasons for an off flavour. It’s never a massive issue of a one though.

    It's definitely stronger than 4.8% aswell. Only half a pint in and my face is tingling a bit.

    I mean, I made a litre less than they said and left it brewing for 4 days longer than the instructions said so thats probably why. It was also bottled and left in the warm for 10 days rather than the 2 they reckoned.

    Tingling. Covid is the least of your worries after drinking that.

    I went prosecco - beer - lager - red wine tonight. I suggested a bottle of the latter to go with the meal I was cooking and my old man told me to put it back as it was 'just a grazing red', before digging out a bottle four times the price from under the stairs. No doubts who the alpha male is around here.

    Special occasions and all that. I don't mind red wine but I can't really devote serious time to it.

    I've recently rediscovered the boulevardier. I'm sure most of you know this, but for those as uninformed as I was, it is essentially a negroni with bourbon in place of gin. I see this is a substantial improvement to the formula.

    While I prefer the traditional, I had a stonking Boulevardier night early this year that was wonderful. A+ cocktail.

    That’s projectile vomiting territory for me. Though standard enough behaviour for one of the smelly uninformed.

    Got a bottle of Eagle Rare bourbon today, opened a bottle of Hudson Baby bourbon last night which was nice but glad I got it on offer as for what it is I'd say it is overpriced for a 35cl bottle.

    Suspect my brother in law is getting me a japanese whisky that I'll get later as questions around that were asked a while back. Not a bad haul.

    I like red wine a lot but unlike my beer wankery wine still comes into "Like" and "Don't like." I know I tend to like a rioja but that's about the extent of it.

    I've got some good beers in for the day and some shite I can just guzzle and I assume my family will get me some craft stuff too.

    The problem I find with wine is when I'm in the mood, I just throw it back. It takes a massive effort to drink at a reasonable speed.

    In my dotage I'm getting better at controlling myself but yeah if you're "on it" early with red wine then bad things can happen. But then I've done it before with imperial stuff too so maybe I'm the problem here.

    Fuck it, I’ve cracked open the last of my bottles of So It Begins to have before dinner. It’s so fucking amazing

    Might still keep one to age more.

    Among the many things I drank on the day was the Tactical Nuclear Penguin which is a bit odd, as expected. Like a beer liqueur or spirit or something. Can't say I disliked it though.

    Back on the Atlanteans after all that Christmas experimentation and they really do hold their own with the best of that stuff.

    Early indications are that the likes of Dead Pony and Punk are completely dead to me, but hopefully that was just a consequence of over-exposure to the more full flavour high price tag offerings.

    The likes of Dead Pony Club and Punk IPA are fine for guzzling but yeah, nothing of that ilk holds up against anything actually really good.

    This month's beer 52 box:



    I don't know why it's sideways and imgbb doesn't seem to have any rotate options and I'm not hunting around for another mobile image upload site (why is it so hard to find a decent one?).

    And yes, picture taken in a strategic place so you pricks can't criticise my apartment.

    You call those tiles, do you?

    I have a variety of pale things to guzzle and strong, dark things to sip for the evening.

    Probably an uneven hob.

    But yeah, my experience of the black sheep pineapple ice cream thing makes me intrigued what that splice of heaven one is like.

    Did a Pale Ale today with a load of spare hops I had in the freezer. Who knows if amarillo, citra, and idaho 7 are a good combo but I’ll find out in a month.

    I’ve too many stouts here at the minute and I’m just about sick of them. Would love a nice hoppy IPA this evening.

    No idea if I've ever had Idaho 7 but I've had a few pales with Citra and Amarillo (the Kernel have done at least a couple) and they go together just fine so I reckon you'll be good.

    It’s fairly new and fashionable. I think I got it for an NEIPA that I ended up not making in the end.

    I’ve a set of 3 Belgian ones in the fridge for later one but I normally can never find any pleasure in Belgian beer. There has to be something I’m missing.

    My dilemma now is whether I continue down the mixed drink route, most likely into some sort of rum-based pit of despair, or rein it in and stick with either the beer or some decent wine for the rest of the night.

    Think I may roll back the years, probably to before when I was born, into Pina Colada territory.

    I've had a couple of Woodford Reserves on the rocks so far. We'll be cracking out some wine soon with dinner so mixed drink is the only way tonight.
