Chocolate Wasted

The SunDevil has been in Belgium for a nice long visit. It was great to have her here over the Father's Day weekend. Something I had not thought about when we planned the trip. Since she arrived, we have been trying to share some of what we have found since she last visited over the holidays. At this point however, I think she is done with the old stuff. Perhaps me included.

The weather since she arrived has been very Belgian. Lots of sporadic rain and cooler temperatures. Very unlike the beautiful weather that we have had in the weeks leading up to her arrival. It has made finding fun things to do more of a challenge but we have managed as best we can. For example, this afternoon she baked some killer bannana chocolate chip cupcakes and tonight we tried some chocolate and a strawberry genever. The two shot glass sized bottles did not last long. The SunDevil made some references to getting "chocolate wasted".


For my part, I had a Nostradamus. Not sure that this beer would convey any prescience, but it is OK. The dominant note is a sweet malty flavor. At 9%, it is a pretty strong "donker". It has a bit of Chimay Bleu note to it, but not as refined. There is not enough hop to balance it out. Not bad but not a home run. Three and a half Drunk Monks.
