tasting

as is becoming a bit of a lovely habit, i was fortunate enough to be around when some specially imported beers were being shared around

the first was a trappist ale of some persuasion
(i had already had a few before the sampling began and didn't take any notes, so i have no details about what it actually was)
that has no label
it comes this way, directly from the monks
i enjoyed it - not so belgiany that it made me wrinkle my nose
very boozey, so you know its a special brew!

the second was this troubadour obscura

who knew the belgians could do a really delicious stout?

sure, it was a mild one, but no blechy belgian yeast to be tasted!!

i love an impromptu tasting!
