The tasting of our first beer "Scottish ale" with friends and family on the 21. Sep. 2006.
Our first brew, a Scottish ale, not our own recipe, just a test brew.
It went quit well, not great, Sweet and very drinkable.
Batch nr. 1-A. A beer in a series of single hop ipa´s, this a Amarillo ipa, our first beer after own recipe.
It was supricely good, very floral hoppy, bitter and dry, only missing a bit of sweetness.
Batch 1-B. The same as Batch 1-A Amarillo ipa, but Dry hopped, very floral hoppy aroma and taste, better than Batch 1-A, wish we brew more than 20 litter.

Chilling down the imperial stout brew from boiling with the hops, to below 30 degrees, so it´s ready to get the yeast and fermentate.
Batch 2-A. Our second beer, a Imperial stout, with Chocolate and English Liquorice, 11% alc. and 329 ibu. all American hops.
Tryed it after 1 month in the bottles, it is not ready, very sweet, oily, good taste, but need at least 2 Months more before it´s ready.
Batch 2-B. The same as Batch 2-A, just with Coffee in it.
Tasted it after 1 Month in the bottle, very sweet, not enough coffee taste, but I think it vill be good after 2 Months more on the bottles.
Batch 2-C. A coffee stout brewed on the malt from Batch 2-A and 2-B, not as strong and powerfull, but still strong, 7% alc. "The thin beer"
Tryed it after 1 Month on bottles, it is realy good, this is the thin beer, but the best of the 3 so far.
There is a hint of coffee, licorice and faint chocolate in the taste, the aroma is coffee, quit good!
The Coffee Stout, "the thin beer" brewed on the rest malt from the Imperial stout we made.
This beer was a big suprice, at 7% alc. it had a great coffee and chocolate aroma and taste, it was a little bitter and dry from the huge amount of hops in it 200 ibu.
We were very happy with the result!
