Day 34: February 3, 2015
Diary entry:
Wait. Was today Tuesday?
The day pretty much flew by. A long demonstration in the morning followed by a few meetings to round up the afternoon. By the time I made it back to my desk, it was about time to start heading out.
Made it to the gym, since I missed last night. And going to bed early. I deserve that!
The Beer:
Name: Jaapie
Style: Imperial / Double Red Ale
Producer: Kaapse Brouwers
Alcohol content: 9.4%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent.
Jaapie Imperial Red Ale by Kaapse Brouwers of Rotterdam. Poured a rich mahogany in color, with a little bit of sediment / haze. A fruity, malty aroma. A medium bitterness adds an extra level to the aromas. Not sure I’ve had a red like this before!
