beer tasting

Change of pace today. Craft beer from Europe.

Kasteel Belgium ale. triple fermented with higher alcohol Rich creamy and not overly hoppy.

Kasteel Brune(Brown) called brown sugar in a bottle. made from a whiskey malt to me it tasted like the old time molassis candies that our neighbors gave us at halloween. If you like that taste its great. smooth too

Delirium tremens Triple distilled clean malty cute name.

Delirium Nocturum Dark malt, taste of coffee very smooth and a touch hoppy at the end.

Delirium Noel High in alcohol made with 7 spices such as Anise and nutmeg. This beer can age for up to 5 years because of the guts its got. Reminded me of the Brune but not as sweet.

After tasting these beers I was trying to think of foods to pair these with and it makes sense that german style foods are perfect because they , the beer, need a strong food to go with them otherwise everything would be out of balance.

Salut
