    I am currently moving into a deep meditative state, seeking insight, as I await the arrival of the Duvel tonight and thus attain enlightenment.

    Have a great day boys and girls...

    Good luck!

    Breakfast of Champions. On the road, in the hotel room, the Duvel is with me.

    The day of celebration has arrived! Jesters, magicians, snake-oil peddlers and musicians will dance in the streets and mingle freely on this sixth day of the sixth month. Goblets, chalices, snifters, vessels of the golden nectar, will be risen high in the air as this joyous festival sings song...

    Now off to work...for my pen is tired and my mouth is dry and I cannot quench this thirst till the sun strikes noon...cheers!

    Good morning I think we should all take a moment and raise our glasses and remember all those who fell 70 years ago on and after the real D-Day

    Barley browns head shake. Pollished this growler off last night

    From last night. This was close with king sue. Maybe a notch below. Would be a more fair comparison to do DS and king sue. But this was still fantastic

    Good Lord, I love Clown Shoes. I don't LOVE this beer (just because I don't LOVE the style), but it sure is tasty.

    Currently watching "Orange is the New Black". I couldn't care less if it's considered a "chick show", it's fucking outstanding.

    Cheers, everybody! :grinning:

    Snap edit: I lied. I basically do love this beer, mostly because of its ridiculous balance. Buy it if you find it.

    I personally have a very complicated ritual for summoning the Duvel.

    First, I light a fire using only three-year dried oak as fuel. To ensure a proper aroma, incense is applied to the fire in precise six minute intervals after lighting: jasmine; clove; and beaver musk.

    Accompanying this precise ritual is music: Gregorian chant recorded at 45 RPM, but slowed to 33, with the volume set just below audible range (I prefer my summoning music to be consumed only subliminally).

    Finally, I recite Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," in reverse (and Pig Latin - doesn't everyone?).

    [​IMG]
    I tried the summoning first thing in the morning, but all that appeared was a chalice full of coffee. Wonder what that means.

    Wait, is that a whispering voice teasing my ear with honeyed lies? Or the wind playing tricks on a vulnerable mind? What dusk on yonder fireplace breaks?

    Success!

    Such a beautiful beer, misleadingly bright and unspoiled for a name with so dark a reputation. Then again, one would do well to remember that the Duvel was once the most beautiful of angels before the fall.

    Finally, a bit of summoning music - some for old-school metal fans, and some for new-school metal fans:





    This is the closest I have for non-metal fans:
