Last weekend I drove up to my brewing buddy's place in Edinburgh and we bottled up the 4 demijohns of our latest brew, which we setup 3 weeks ago.
We didn't do the brew entirely properly, we used a hopped malt extract as the base, then added additional hops to 2 of them and a Lebanese herb to 2 of them. The 4 varieties were: one with just the malt extract, one with added hops, one with added herb and one with added hops and herb.
When bottling we could make out the subtle differences in the smell between the brews with the herb, but it was harder to smell the added hops. The bottles are all labelled appropriately though, so we'll see how they taste in a month.
For our next brew we are planning to do it from scratch and I've been tasked with finding a suitable recipe, so I'll be looking for something dark and malty...
I can't wait!
