Swagger
Putting boot to ass since 1967!
So I make wine, mead and more aggressive spirits and have enjoyed making and partaking in all of them. I currently have runs of Spanish Rioja, Monte Pulciano and Raspberry port going along with a batch of mead made from imported Norwegian berry honey.
What I've not done by myself yet is beer. I've helped Miss Kitty's parents make beer (it's upon their initiative that I started makin ANY of this stuff) but mainly as a 'Hold this' guy.
I do have an aim in this ramble.....
A few years ago at a now defunct pub I had a creme ale that was labled 'Nelsons' and I've not been able to find it anywhere so I'd like to recreate it but haven't a clue where to start.
It had almost no hoppy bitter quality, my female accompaniment at the time described it as "gentle, almost like desert", it was medium amber in color and had a nice stout body and thick head. It drank with a certain amount of mass, more like swallowing Guinness rather than a watery(by comparison) lager. The other standout for me was the exhalation which normally is something I think of when considering wine, but it brought to mind English style tea....served with milk or creme.
Any of you beer types have any ideas?
