A life just as ordinary

Beer – #391 – Behemoth – Sacrilegious Saison

After much hand-wringing on marking this 9 I gave it the 10. I was going to mark it a 9, and I sat and mulled it over, listened to the musics a bit, and drank 1/2 of the tiny about remaining. Generally in the hour it takes to drink a beer I read the reviews in a few places, and I’m happy to mark beers down if they’re rated highly and I don’t agree the reviews, blind tasting this though, it was like angels tears. Well not really but it was a great beer.
