Do we have any home brewers here?

I just got home from www.welcomeswallow.com.au, probably hard to get unless you are in Tas. The chocolate porter is amazing and the whisky barrel aged version is out if this world.

I have evidently not being paying attention, I never heard of them. Not exactly local for me, but next time I'm in that direction, I'll make a point of visiting.

A bit of brewing has been going on. I made a Baltic Porter back in March with hops I grew. It runs about 9%ABV and is complex and wonderful.

Good colour in that porter. Nice to see that style has been getting some interest over the last few years. As a matter of interest, what malts did you use?

Aha. A flavour bomb.

Aha. A flavour bomb.

But not a hops, smash mouth raspberry tart, peanut butter milk stout. Just a classic full bodied dark and complex Baltic Porter.

I can see how this style helps a long dark winter pass easily.
