Day 329: November 25, 2015
Diary entry:
No workshops today. And a number of other meetings were cancelled. I dare say, I actually got some normal work done!
No time for lunch, though, as the meetings that were on schedule were all between 12 and 5. At least it kept me from being bored today.
Though I will admit, I am very sore. Yesterday wasn’t too bad, but today I’m feeling my return to the gym. I’ll be sure to go back again next chance I get!

Meneer de Uil – Bowmore Barrel Aged Imperial Stout by Het Uiltje. Strong barrel aroma. Peaty barrel flavor. Some dark coffee bitter sneaking in underneath. But mostly barrel. Pehaps too much. 85 EBU? Really?
Commercial Description (Untappd):
In the last ‘’Meneer de Uil’’ (Mister Owl) series we aged our imperial/double stout in 1987 Bowmore Whisky casks. Massive bodied imperial stout with a very intense aromas such as chocolate, coffee, roasted grains, peat smoke, vanilla, oak and obviously Scottish Islay’s Bowmore Whisky.
