Day 15: January 15, 2015
Diary entry:
Where did this day go? First meeting at 8AM. Had a few 30 minute gaps in my agenda, but none of those materialized, not even for lunch. Next thing I knew, 7PM and I needed to head home. Hopefully some clarity on the direction for the next few months tomorrow.
After missing lunch and with little sleep last night due to the 2-3AM chat, just had to head home for a light dinner and tonight’s beer.
The Beer:
Name: Adriaen Brouwer Wintergold 2015
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Producer: Brouwerij Roman
Alcohol content: 10.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent.
Adriaen Brouwer Wintergold 2015, a Winter beer by Brouwerij Roman of Oudenaarde, Belgium. 10% ABV, and you could taste every percentage point, and then some, at the start. The strength didn’t diminish in the glass, but some flavors of fruit, and more sweetness did emerge.
