Men of the cloth.

This day, Sunday, is the day of the week that I allow myself a deep and rich pleasure that I have abstained from for the rest of the week, a single solitary beer.  Since it is Lent I have decided to work my way through the Trappist beers available here in Alberta.  In Alberta this happens to be beer from 6 different monasteries. Today I had a widely available brew from Chimay, the Chimay Blue.

My apologies for the photo post sipping, I was so excited to dip in that I forgot to photograph the less then stellar crown atop the freshly poured brew.  It was delicious, so deep and malty with perhaps an unbalanced amount of bitter.  Fruity and nutty none the less.  It smells like Belgium.  Of all the smells I remember from my very short time there I remember the distinct smell of the Belgium strains of yeast in the classic beers.  I love smells and tastes.

On another totally different note, I bought B12 supplement today.  Apparently vegans can't get B12 in their diets due to the fact that you get it from animals.  So I bought some to see if I can stay healthy and happy.  It also is supposed to help you sleep better, which would be great since last night was rough.  Onto some tea and reading.
