Day 22: January 22, 2015
Diary entry:
Today was just one of those days where no news is good news…
One more day until weekend. Hopefully tomorrow is less than a 12 hour day in the office so I can hit the gym and get home in time to relax a little.
The Beer:
Name: Croy Dubbel
Style: Belgian Dubbel
Producer: Brouwerij Croy
Alcohol content: 7.5%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: Late birthday present from my colleague Mike…not the one who bought me the gift box, but another one.
Croy Dubbel is breweed at Kasteel Croy in Aarle-Rixtel in the Netherlands, around 30km from my home. This was brought to me by a work colleague who lives nearby to the brewery. The beer poured a deep reddish brown color. Smell of fruit and toffee, found in the taste as well. Slightly sweet, not overly like many Dubbels.
