Of course they would switch the wines on me. Of course, this week, when it's my week, they'd pull a switch-up and mess with things. No continuity. But people never notice anything.
What I like about these beers is that they don't give you a bunch of horse manure about what a great beer it's dad was. No one cares that they come from a long line of Helles lagers, and beers that brag on it are just phony.
Delicate, that kills me. Those lagers are about as delicate as a toilet seat.
What really knocks me out is when you're finished with a beer, and you wish the brewer was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him on the telephone whenever you felt like it. -hc

I can't believe you're reading this, but I guess the first thing you want to know about this beer is that it's a dark, strong, abbey stylebeer like the monks used to make in Belgium. It kinds of gets me, that there aren't monks making this beer, but what do monks care about beer anyway? The beer is so terrific, it makes me sad that it's kind of phony. They added cherry juice to it too.

Another case of phony; this isn't wine.
