Going to Angelina's is always a ritual...so I made it just that, and, well...had a Rituel. Best Leffe to the imagination, this is a good hoperator; rich strong and intense (although I was in Angelina's) 9% and it (the beer) was a bit cold, but ok as it (Angelina's) was rammed, and stiflingly hot. I resisted anything cake-ish, but might have fancied a Paris-Brest had there been one to hand. Had to make do with a Milan-San Remo instead.
So, tonight, on returning to 'civilisation' l availed myself of the chocolate hit I had shunned the day before, suitably cradled in my trophy 'd'Achouffe' tulip.
Master Bateman did wonderful work when bottling this 6%. 'Mocha' Coffee and Chocolate. Tasted just right this time...
A great taste if you are in the mood, but probably too lush for me otherwise. OK for Northern chaps I would guess.
