I was good to myself. Having a family reunion with one great uncle in the house, I thought I would pop this gem as we consume t-bones and lamb chops. Have you noticed that steaks go discount at Yule? It sure does here. We always have the beef feed in the lead up.
Barn. Moinette Brune meets Fantome Saison with autumn apple orchard windfall skank. Rich dark fruit on a dry palate. Dark cream foam and rich lacing rim over clouded smoked amber ale. Tang as tangy as a blue cheese as opposed to a vinegared lambic. But more than that, it is like a beer that has gone rusty. The aroma is stunning - gravenstein apple, rising yeast dough, spring time and autumn. Earthy as long as we as speaking about the Earth I want to live on. Happy Christmas to me.

White pepper in the finish. Should note that it followed a Cuvee Angelique from Glazen Toren. I clearly deemed myself nice for 2009.

Man that sounds good Alan. My family has a tradition of having steaks at midnight on Christmas eve and I think I might go pick up a couple of these.
Cheers!
