Beer Saturday - Home Brew Happiness,

2025-03-01T18:13:51
Ok Hiver beer beverage fans I have an admission to make. For medical reasons I have not touched alcohol for the last year. Not all bad, It’s one of the reasons I’ve lost a bit of weight and I’ve not missed waking up with a hangover on the odd occasion.
Anyway @scubahead brought me back a present yesterday so I may as well jump back in with both feet.
He has a recently visited a friend who has started down the home brew rabbit hole and brewed according to @scubahead a very nice Plum Porter so he brought me back a bottle.
I was told the %ABV is around 4.5% but if my recollection of home brews thats about normal. Well it pours nicely but I did it very gently so not much of a head. It’s rich and very dark as a good porter should be.
It certainly smells very plummy and has a really fruity taste.

So I hope @scubahead can bring me back another bottle once the next batch is brewed.
