Since First Maat was otherwise occupied with domestic stuff, I did not travel this past weekend. Instead I had a nice relaxing day at home. Enjoying a brew while watching TrueBlood. It was very enjoyable having the following while watching the Pilot and second episode of this HBO show.

The bier of choice was from ABita. It is entitled

Abbey Ale

The following is a description that is from the Abita Website and it fits.

Abbey Ale honors the ancient tradition of monks who perfected the art of brewing beer to support the monastery and their “liquid bread”. We offer up our support and thank them with a 25¢ donation to St. Joseph’s Abbey with every bottle sold of this heavenly brew. Dark amber in color, the aroma of caramel, fruits and cloves invites you to contemplate the creamy head of this “Dubbel” or double ale. Abita Abbey Ale is a malty brew, top-fermented and bottle aged to rapturous perfection. This ale pairs well with barbecue, meat stews or a nice thick steak. For dessert, try Abita Abbey Ale with milk chocolate or chocolate bread pudding. We suggest serving this brew at 46 degrees.

I did not have it at the suggested temperature and found that to be ok. Totally enjoyed the caramel flavour accompanied by the smooth and silkiness that was with it. Glad to find out that part of the proceeds went to charity.

Until my next voyage…

Thanks for taking the time to read
