the universal beer

Another Toledo brewery, Sagra.  This is another special beer, but not for El Greco, apparently.  This is a collaboration between the brewery and a chef at the restaurant El Bohío de Illescas.  The idea was to make a beer that goes with any dish, but especially dessert.
The covered cap makes it classy
The result is this Belgian triple style ale.  It pours out with a rich, dark color and fluffy beige head.  It's sweet and smooth, with the chocolate notes coming through the strongest.  The promised coffee doesn't come out for me, but maybe it's really a mocha.  Or Starbucks.  No, really much more complex and interesting than any Starbucks I've had for some time.  Makes me want to head down to that restaurant, but maybe after I find some additional income.
That's really dessert in a glass
