Visst, det skulle vara vitt. Men allvarligt talat, söndagsölen gick verkligen inte att undvika ikväll. Helt förväntanslöst låter jag en fem år gammal Trappistes Rochefort 10 begå Marcel Proust på mitt smaksinne och i en dimmig vansinnesfärd … [...]

Name: 1812 Brewery: Emerson’s (Dunedin, New Zealand) Style: IPA ABV: 5% Source: Glengarry’s Ponsonby OK, so if you don’t want to know an IPA unless it feels like paint-stripper in your mouth, then you might be vaguely dissapointed by this one.
