Beer, Wine, and Spirit Review #1!

Hey everyone,

So, on my journey through Washington DC, I ended up going to a bar by the name of "Churchkey" in DC. It has 50 or so beers on tap, and pretty much all of them I had never heard of before. So, naturally, I had to give as many of them a try.

I was there for Mr. Belleville's birthday, and it was great, wish him all the best on his 22nd year circling the sun on this mess we call home... ANYWAYS, back to delicious frothy business.

Now, the names of the beers I tried were crazy hard to remember, so I wrote them down, and took pictures (er, at least tried. Camera phone, you see)!

In no particular order:

• Abbaye De Floreffe Double - this was a fairly dark belgium brew, I would say a bit "spicy", but describing a beer like that sounds very fluffy and pretentious, don't you think?
• Allagash White - this was a belgium white, and was probably my favorite drink of the night (my second favorite would compliment any "Explosion" I would desire to make in the future...)
• Old Horizontal 2008 - this was kind of malty and had fruity hints in it. Now, my taste buds may not be the greatest in the land, but I thought i got the hint of fig and other fruits.
• Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen - THE GOD OF ALL BEERS. This beer not only smells like bacon, but it tastes smokey, and let me tell you, if you are a bacon fanatic, the scent of this beer will send you into a tailspin, its crazy awesome.
• Petrus Oud Bruin - Apparently there are many "Petrus" beers, this one sits and brews for a long time until it becomes a bit sour. It certainly had a small "sour" taste to it, but it was also very tasty

Now, more pictures!
