Noisy people seem to be following me this morning. I was really hoping for a nice, calm, quiet morning...

Bit of a long shot here. I'm going to see the UK Open Darts in Minehead next weekend. I want to know if any of the pubs in town will show the PDC Premier League on Thursday night.
Watching it in Hotshots on the resort was so crap last that we went back to our apartment and watched it on the laptop!

First time in Brum since @beeroclockshow.bsky.social's Summer Sesh in 2022.
This time I'm hanging with the @craftybeergirls.bsky.social. It's going to be a good day.

Ugh. Three days now with on-and-off feeling of nervousness. I'm convinced it's hormonal, as I don't think I'm actually concerned about anything.
Don't you just love perimenopause?

#12BeersofXmas Day 12. Fullers Vintage 2012. This has got a bit of a Bovil note. Quite malty, a little warmth. This one might have peaked.

#12BeersofXmas Day 11. Fullers Vintage 2013. A slightly bigger bottle (a pint rather than 500ml). This is all fruitcake. Not much carbonation. Lingering warmth.

#12BeersofXmas Day 10. Fullers Vintage 2014. Very dark ruby colour. Big sherry notes here, quite sweet. Very low bitterness.

#12BeersofXmas Day 9. Fullers Vintage 2015. Full-on mince pie aroma. Boozy fruitcake flavour, with quite a low bitterness level. Very nice indeed.

#12BeersofXmas Day 8. Fullers Vintage 2016. We've now reached the John Keeling era. This one is less overtly fruitcake or raisins than others. Rather, there is a bit of burnt caramel, and there is a pronounced bitterness.

#12BeersofXmas Day 7. Fullers Vintage 2017. Quite mellow. Low carbonation. Raisins all the way. A bit of toffee.
(The differences between the years are pretty subtle. This is starting to feel like describing NEIPAs! 😂)

#12BeersofXmas Day 6. Fullers Vintage 2018. You know you're getting to the good ones when it has the little card in the box, and it's 'signed' by the head brewer. This one is really plummy, with quite a bitter finish.

#12BeersofXmas Day 5. Fullers Vintage 2019. Boozy, raisin, orange and a hint of black pepper.

#12BeersofXmas Day 4. Fullers Vintage 2020. Mellow, fruitcake notes. Nicely balanced, not bitter, not that boozy.

#12BeersofXmas Day 3. Fullers Vintage 2021. This one is a bit one-note, lacking complexity. Gorgeous smell when I opened the bottle, but the flavour doesn't deliver. Raisin at the very start which dissipates quickly, and quite a bitter finish, but not much in between.

Putting the last things into tomorrow's grocery order. I'm sure I'll have forgotten something... 🤔

#12BeersofXmas Day 1. Fullers Vintage 2023. This is a nice start to the series. Well carbonated. Smell of rum raisin ice cream. Notes of apricot and toffee. Gently bitter. A nutty finish as it has got warmer.

I decided a while ago on my #12BeersofXmas.
Every Fullers Vintage from 2023 back to 2012.
While I still buy these every year, the excitement has gone since the big overlords took over the brewery, so it feels like time to drink up and close the chapter.

Bad back is really giving me the blues. 😖 It's only been a week. How do people in chronic pain cope?

I was wondering if this was where all of the Strictly Come Dancing folks had moved to, because they seem to have deserted the other platform, but I can't find anyone. 😭
