I dunno Euge the idea just kind of floated up like cream on milk...rich, decadent....
So something like an ESB seems like it might compliment the idea ....just that I ordered
a bulk supply of dates to eat out of hand and I will have a plenty....for a while.

It is my new goto sweet tooth replacement for sugar...plus I get soluable fiber at the same time.

I love dates! Especially when they've set for a while and the sugars start to crystallize. Mmmmm.

Sounds great for a Bitter.

Date sugar was a popular addition for a while, mostly to belgain brews.  The sugarcane and date sugar mix jaggery has been a pretty popular beer addition as well.  If I remember correctly using dates or date sugar was discusssed in brew like a monk? Sorry I don't have any personal experience to share but with a crate full of dates I think I'd be trying an experimental batch as well.  cheers, j

oh yeah - dates and 70% cocoa dark chocolate is a pretty hard to beat snack

I've never done a "dry dating" per se, but I did bake a date paste into a bread loaf once that I used for a beer and I've doctored mead in the past with date syrup.

Both worked really well. My concern with doing date puree would be the time needed to get everything broken down and dissolved.

I was thinking of macerating the dates in hot water then pureeing/blending until there's a syrup.

How about caramelizing them in a pan, de-glazing with some dark rum and simmer for a few minutes before cooling at adding to the fermenter?

At that point it may just be easier or make more financial/time sense to buy date syrup from your local friendly middle eastern market.

Recently I have provided several insights on date "beer" on another forum, including my experiences with brewing an ancient Sumerian recipe.  Check it out.

Good read dave, thanks.  I got a carton of em on the way and could try this easily.
I am going more for the hot water slurry mode that just sounds betta.

Wouldn't that be considered speed-dating?   ::)
