Day 35: February 4, 2015
Diary entry:
And if I thought yesterday flew by, today was a flash!
Things are moving forward. A good session for the morning, two decent sessions in the afternoon. Even had time for a quick lunch today!
Fun to leave in the middle of a sudden storm of freezing rain, with a nice 30-minute traffic delay on the way home.
Tonight we have #TRAVEX and #FoodTravelChat on Twitter, so be sure to join in!
The Beer:
Name: La Spéciale Fêtes
Style: Winter Ale
Producer: Brasserie de Bouillon
Alcohol content: 8.5%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent.
La Speciale Fetes is a winter ale by Brasserie de Bouillon. A very carbonated beer. Almost gushed from the bottle but I poured in time. Very little flavor at first due to the excessive carbonation, but after sitting in the glass a while, the fruity and spice flavors emerge.
