Beer #8 - Van Twee

Van Twee, details later. And oh my god the beer and pasta are fucking amazing.

I mean seriously, that could be the best combination of food and accompanying drink I've every had. Astoundingly yummeh.

Updated with details:
Van Twee, Dubbel/Porter hybrid, 7.5%abv 750ml bottle
De Proefbrouwerig, Belgium and Bell's Brewery, Kalamazoo, Michigan

From the handout:

Van Twee, or "From Two" is a mash-up of the porter and dubbel styles blended with sour cherry juice from Michigan and brettanomyces in the secondary fermentation. It is a rich, dark beer capped by tan foam. Malty layers of chocolate and coffee trade on the palate with sour brettanomyces bacteria and dark fruit notes.

This was really good. Great combination of the porter's roastiness and the dubbel's sourness and fruit.
