Trata-se de uma paixão, uma religião/seita, um estado de espírito inigualável...
Sempre com o mesmo propósito, a mesma alegria, o mesmo sofrimento...
E não poderia ser diferente...
Muitas cervejas de qualidade são apresentadas nestes encontros. É por isso que venho enaltecer tão bela representante deste movimento:
A GOUDEN CAROLOUS CLASSIC
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Serving Type: 330 ml bottle
Price: $4.99 / bottle
Availability: Year-round
Glassware: Goblet
Strength: 8.5% ABV (alcohol by volume)
Drinkability: Outstanding! This is a beer not to be taken lightly… a complex brew to sip, savor and enjoy! For the fullest flavor, serve at cellar temperature (50-55 F degrees)
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep chestnut brown with a thin, fizzy, cream-colored head
Aroma: Rich fruity fig, chianti, and balsamic
Mouthfeel: Creamy, velvety and smooth
Taste: Initial chewy fig-newton sweetness into a lucious, juicy middle of plum, tart bing cherry, caramel and toffee. A sweet, thick, tart and slighlty sour finish reminiscent of balsamic with a touch of earthy chestnut, slightly buttery, with a hint of bitter chicory.
Pairing: Simply enjoy on its own, or pair with one of my favorite dishes, pork tenderloin with carmelized onions and blueberries in a balsamic reduction.
Trivia: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was brought up in Mechelen, Belgium and was known to favor the ales from the local Het Anker brewery.
