What beer are you drinking now? #1259

Early flight to Chicago. Bottoms (and wheels) up.

 

Meant to tack this one onto previous post, but looks like I can't edit via mobile. Apologies. Another beer down the hatch, because I don't like flying. At all.

Have a great April Fool's Day!

 

Good morning, BA's! I'd been looking forward to starting off April with one of my personal "whalez, bro." My package from Belgium in a Crate finally arrived yesterday, so I decided to celebrate my Friday off by sampling this Westvleteren XII. (Cap not pictured. I think it rolled under the deck when I opened the bottle. It was pretty cool, though. Take my word for it.)


Let me sum up this experience for you in one word: vile. I feel as though the universe has been playing a cruel trick on me all these years, as I've been led to believe that this slimy and foul-smelling concoction is one of the finest beers in the world. Pours like sludge, no head. Aromas of post-game locker room and hog confinement, with notes of rotten plum and wet chicken feathers. Nasty tongue-coating mishmash of month-old banana and cider vinegar on the finish. It wouldn't have been so bad, except for the fact that I dropped the equivalent of a car payment on this turd. After some deliberation, I decided that this situation demanded no less than the @Shroud0fdoom protocol.

First comes the drain pour...


...followed by The Wave...


...and a "golden shower"...


...and, finally, the coup de grâce. I may have used a tad too much gasoline here. (Disclaimer: Don't try this at home. I am a trained professional, albeit in an entirely unrelated field.)


As soon as the Fire Department cleared me for re-entry into my kitchen, I had a few shots of Everclear to get the taste out of my mouth and spent some time in quiet and drunken reflection. I asked myself how I might bring some good out of this depressing and costly disaster. Being a civic-minded BA who has only the public interest at heart, I do not wish to see my fellow BA's suffer through the same experience. I am therefore offering my services free of charge to anyone who has purchased this product. Send me your Westvleteren and I will see to it that it is disposed of in a most fitting and proper manner.



BTW: Has anyone ever noticed the striking similarity between a Westvleteren bottle and a Westmalle bottle with the label removed?

 

Cheers!!

 

Happy April Fools Day BA!!
