New Belgium Brewing 1554 Enlightened Black Ale
Brewed in Fort Collins, CO bought at HEB Grocery, drunk at home in Katy while Patricia and I prepared Turkey stuffed potatoes for dinner.
The bottle says "1554 Enlightened Black Ale redefines the phrase keeping time in a bottle. From an ancient crumbling library book, our intrepid researchers found references to this obscure style dating back to the year 1554. Overcoming obsolete script and units of measurement, our brewers discovered an ale with a surprising bright taste and a dry, chocolaty finish-one evocative of dark brews enjoyed in Belgium taverns 500 years ago.
Patricia liked this beer, I did too. It was tasty and had a nice aftertaste that lingered for a while.
