Day 148: May 28, 2015
Diary entry:
Quite a hectic day today, running back and forth between meetings, especially in the afternoon.
Some good topics discussed, so always good when you feel like you accomplished something as a result of a busy day.
We have a house guest visiting this weekend from London, so had to ensure the house was ready for Dylan’s arrival.
Then a long evening of preparing dinner and chatting.
The Beer:
Name: Préaris Grand Cru 2013 B.A. Bourbon (Makers Mark)
Style: Belgian Quad

Préaris Grand Cru 2013 B.A. Bourbon (Makers Mark) by Vliegende Paard Brouwers has a dark, brownish-red color. Poured without much head. Decent levels of the barrel flavor coming through, with hints of the 10/5% but not overbearing. Well balanced overall. Definitely enjoyable.
