Dieu du Ciel Solstice d'hiver

(bottle) Hazy brown. Minimal head. Strong alcohol aroma, with some malts and dark fruits as well. Flavor fairly well balanced. A bit of an alcohol burn, but not too bad. No barley wine weirdness, so that's cool. Pretty good.

Dieu du Ciel Aphrodite

(bottle) Black with a huge brown head that lasted forever. Aroma of dark fruits and vanilla. Thick and coating mouthfeel. A surprising alcohol burn. Decent is all I can say.

Deed

Yesterday a hand reached out to me, and today I slapped it away. This was my good deed for today.

Cruise

I keep dreaming about being on a cruise. Probably because it's warm on the ship.
