Handwritten notes: Every self-respecting sot knows that Belgium is the Mecca towards which we all face while saying our beer-prayers. Here we go again. The first sensation is a light, chocolaty taste, like a chocolate soda or a Coke float. The secondary tastes are those of dried fruit and spices. This is the perfect accompaniment to a brisk autumn evening. Hallalujah!
