borrowing the name of the great tune by Bach, this is a tribute to one of the world's greatest beers. One might have to be a serious beer geek to understand the passion some of us have for this magnificent Belgian Trappist ale... i've tried to suggest some age and patina on the image like a vintage beer poster.

oh, you'd dig it the most (great line from pulp fiction). it's an odd beer to the uninitiated, basically a balanced belgian pale, but with the addition of a wild yeast called 'brettanomyisis' it has a very alluring earthy aroma and flavor. thanks for commenting patricia!
