    Howdy all! Hope you're enjoying your winter! :sunglasses:

    Today's beer and gratuitous evening scenery shot from my beer-drinking holiday deck coming right up. The beer was Harvest Ale by JW Lees from England, an absolute cracker of a beer that had me waxing lyrically over in the review space (I probably just sounded like a wanker) and one that I would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to experience a big English-style barleywine. It's an incongruous beer to be gushing over in the middle of a summer holiday, but I'm sending its warming vibes to the rest of you shivering in your wintry abodes. You're welcome!

    I was also going to drink another Crankshaft (see WBAYDN 3733), thought better of it, but took a photo anyway just to show the view from the other deck!

    Cheers!

    We’re enjoying Winter immensely through your exotic, beautiful, gorgeous views and landscape and shores. Slightly envious at the moment… cheers Az!

    Trying to fix my sleep and failing. Hopefully this will knock me out until mid morning, the the coffee portion may make things worse?.

    No drop off now 3 1/2 months post 9/28/22 canning. My favorite BA coffee stout at this point of my craft journey.

    Might return with a rare for me second at home beer this afternoon to pair with lunch, assuming I can crash and get a much needed haircut first.

    Good day BAs! Thanks again @AzfromOz for starting today's thread with lovely views of summer weather - here it's currently 25 degrees F (-4C) and overcast after yesterday which was sunny and clear anf got clear up to 42 degrees F. Seemed like a crime to waste the day inside so Mrs Lizard and I went to a neighboring town 30 miles away - there's a quilt store there. She went shopping while I sat in the car and finished reading a book about armadillos.

    Today's New Breakfast Beer is another from the depths of Beer Reefer #1:

    Distinctly good but not wonderful - coloration is very dependent on the light source - no head/lacing (14% ABV), "Dark fruity" with malt and an odd sour taste, good mouthfeel and virtually no aroma - still, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts! 3.69, rDev -8.2.

    Bitburger. A somewhat aristocratic German pilsner.
    Severed in thin glasses in Germany as far as I can remember. With a paper napkin round the foot of the glass.
    Outstanding pilsner, from any glass (or even the can).
    Cheers
