Benefits from a few months of age. Not unpleasant this time.
Simon Harding is drinking an Old Ale by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Terrible. Tastes of cheese. And not just because I recently had cheese. Bic Runga makes it better.
Simon Harding is drinking a Dubbel by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Bottle-aged since September. It isn't going to give Westmalle any sleepless nights, but it's not an embarrassment.

Slight fishy taste. Perhaps not a triumph.

So much improved after a couple of months in bottle. Looking forward to seeing where this goes with more time.
Simon Harding is drinking a Barley Wine Chinook Cascade by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Well I never. The worst brew day ever, but that tastes like an actual grown-up Barleywine. Lessons to be learned, but this really is OK.

Simon Harding is drinking an India Pale Ale Mosaic by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
One of the few things I've brewed that I can just sit and enjoy rather than picking it apart. A respectable glass of beer.
Simon Harding is drinking a Barley Wine Chinook Cascade by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Bottling day taster. Missed the target ABV by a mile, but seems like it'll be tasty enough.
Simon Harding is drinking an India Pale Ale Mosaic by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Proof that even a talentless no-hope brewer can make Maris Otter + Mosaic taste fairly respectable.
Simon Harding is drinking an Old Ale by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Needs several months longer in the bottle of course, but promising. Has those sherry, raisin and tramp juice notes I was hoping for.
Simon Harding is drinking a Tripel by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
It won't give the Westmalle monks sleepless nights, but I could drink this all evening. Pleasing, warming. A little syrupy for the style.

Last one, and it's a gusher. Balls. The 10ml I rescued seemed OK.
Simon Harding is drinking an India Pale Ale Mosaic by Northern Sky
Banging. I don't understand how an extra few weeks in the bottle has brought out the hops, but no complaints. A respectable beer.
Simon Harding is drinking a Dubbel by Northern Sky at Northern Sky Brewery
Not terrible. A little sticky perhaps. Hopefully it'll improve over time.
