On a recon mission for a bike tour of Sweden, Judy and I had to stop at Ebenezer's. Actually Ebenezer's is the meeting place and destination of the tour.
I started with a Scotch De Silly. Served in correct glass, from the tap, this Belgium Scottish ale was very pleasing as a starter, slightly smoky and sweet, in a complex way, it left the palate asking for more. I followed with a dinner of sweet Italian sausages served with plain mashed potatoes and a moderately long wait, with Val Dien Tripel. Bottled in a small monastery, this Abbey Ale was light, clear, effervescent as it should be, with a wheaty after taste. Reminds me how much I will miss the Tour of Belgium.
Judy started with a Delirium Tremens Noël, from the tap in appropriate glass. This beer needs no description. I would add, however, that I would love to get my hands on one of those serving trays with the pink elephants from the wall of Ebenezer's. With her dinner of ginger pan fried shrimp, very spicy, accompanied with plain mashed potatoes and boring veggies, she had, you guessed it, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. She is predictable. From the tap this IPA had good bitterness, and hop aroma more fruity than I expected.
