Day 40: February 9, 2015
Diary entry:
A totally wasted day. I was unable to access a computer all day at work, not even to see my agenda or emails. Pretty produced nothing the entire day. At least I know it’s all fixed for tomorrow…
Decided to leave work at an early hour, since there was no point sitting around when I couldn’t access my computer, so managed to finish my catch-up at home before dinner. And then of course, the issues were resolved, and the emails came flooding in on my phone. *sigh*
The Beer:
Name: Vicaris Winter (2014)
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Producer: Brouwerij Dilewyns
Alcohol content: 10.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent.
Tonight’s beer of the night. Vicaris Winter 2014 by Brewery Dilewyns of Dendermonde, East-Flanders, Belgium. A deep, dark reddish-brown, lot of fizz, if not a lot of head. Dark chocolate and black licorice, once you let the carbonation fade out a little in the glass. Actually quite tasty if you give it time.
