Previously from this brewery: Wild Undressed Regular and Wild Undressed Regular
You get a short post tonight because that's just the way it goes. Tonight's beer is a bottle of Morpheus Wild, from Alvinne, which was not a brewery we visited. I don't really remember drinking this one, but from the order it was in my email and from the chairs in the picture I think I had this one at Rose Red, a cool beer bar connected to the hotel I stayed at in Bruges. Ghent is a cooler, more interesting town, but Bruges has better beer bars. This is an unquestionable fact.
This beer is a Flemish oud bruin, and pours a dark brown color with red highlights, and a monster off white head. The bottle sort of exploded into the glass, in fact. There's a tart aroma, and when you take a sip there's a sort of effervescent quality. Along with that tartness, there's a dark fruit quality, some sourness, and definitely some chocolate coming through. Really a very nice beer, even if I don't remember actually drinking it. And that's not a function of how much everyone drank on this trip - there were plenty of beers consumed, but due to early starts and long bike rides, no one was up late being all crazy.

| Wild, not crazy |
This song popped up on the iPod today and I like it, and due to the name there's a tangential relationship to the bike trip, so here it goes. I think the first time I've dropped a hidden track in this space, and certainly one of the longer songs I've used. We close it out with Eurotrash Girl by Cracker. I did meet some strange characters while in Belgium, but I guess really nothing more strange than you'd see anywhere in the U.S.
