Day 259: September 16, 2015
Diary entry:
Today is Wednesday, but not my normal Wednesday. Had a very early start, since I knew I had a lot on the agenda for today. First meeting, however, a real blast from the past, as I was asked to give some information on a database I built back in 2008 which is still in use. Never expected THAT to come up at this juncture!
Many more meetings throughout the day, with all three projects well represented. Unfortunately, I also got roped into preparing some additional workshops.
In the end, all in the right direction. However, over the course of the day, I was also asked about taking a lead role o two other critical processes as well. Not sure how much more I can take on my plate.
The Beer:
Name: Moose Blues
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Producer: Brouwers Verzet
Alcohol content: 7.5%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Caigny in Essen, Belgium
Moose Blues by Brouwers Verzet. Smells sweet and a bit alcoholic. But not the taste. Taste is darker and more bitter. More in line its 7.5%. High carbonation in the mouthfeel, which may block some of the sweet in flavor of the richer flavors.
