12 Beer of Christmas - #6 To Øl Jule Mælk

Back for a beer review of the Beavertown & To Øl collaboration Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde! Slightly delayed release of this review as it occurred during my finals study - had to drink some insane beers to stay sane. A double beer review, so double your 5 minutes!

We interrupt your regular programming to bring you…. me ranting and babbling on about random beer topics that struck my fancy this week!  Thought I would try something new for this vlog, just off the cusp,  uncensored, thoughts flowing out of my head. Let me know what you think!

In a very unique episode, I review my own beer! The first (and hopefully not last) commercially produced beer I have brewed is Cheers So Brew Co Make It A Double, a Double IPA coming in at 8% and brewed at The 5 Lamps Brewery in the Liberties. I had great craic scaling up my 1 gallon recipe to 700L and brewing for the first time on a large kit. It poured first at Alltech Beer Fest and now is on tap in a few pubs in the city!

For my latest trick… I compare the Galway Bay Two Hundred Fathoms of 2015 to the new 2016 release! This lovely barrel aged imperial stout is released only once a year, so if you can get your hands on a bottle or two give it a go!

Back at you with another beer review! This time featuring Black Donkey’s Arigna #1 from their special limited release series. Got lucky to get my hands on a bottle when I saw Richard at the Alltech Beer Fair.

In this brew review, I try out the special edition Barrel Aged Black Boar from The White Hag Brewery. I got lucky to get one of the last bottles in Redmonds of Ranelagh! I am a huge fan of barrel aged beers (if it wasn’t obvious by now) and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try this beast.

The final beer of 12 Beers of Christmas is Mikkeller Black, a very complex imperial stout coming in at 16.7%! A great way to kick-off the new year with a bang!

The 11th beer for 12 Beers of Christmas is BrewDog Hinterland, a oatmeal milk imperial stout which is a tribute to the Jackalope and comes in at 9%! I heard good things about this stout and had wanted to try it, so added it to my list.
