NOT your Father's Chimay
Holy crap on a poop stick. I've found it...and all this time it's existed so near me...in the form of a dear friend who's SO PASSIONATE about making it! I can barely type as I type this. The beeer si tooo gud, and a wee bit alkeehawlik. My boy Hix gave me a Christmas present in the form of his home brewed "No Room at the Inn" Christmas style Blegian Ale. I just got around to opening it. In Hix's words:
It's a belgian christmas ale, so think affligem noel or st. bernardus noel.
Dark, caramel, a little sweetness, some spice, lots of "warming" alkyhawl. i didn't think it was going to be quite ready in time for christmas, but the one i opened last night was pretty danged tasty.
It will have a short-lived head and won't be terribly carbonated (high aklyhawl). i'm going to set aside some of it for 6+ months from now.
Verdict: ALL TRUE.This is a man who Rides now a Ridley X-Night and MADE THIS BEER. I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!
Thank you my friend.(And, no, I am not operating heavy machinery whilst imbibing).
(Yes this helps my recovery you weenies.)
