Day Seventy-Two - 21/11/2012 - Cork

     The local off license lined its shelves with a rare treasure today.  Bottles of stout from the Franciscan Well, aged in Jameson casks to impart a bit of whisky flavour to an already well-balanced stout from the best microbrew in Cork.  This limited release included 800 bottles (incorrectly labeled with 900), and according to the proprietor of said off license, will sell out within the week.  The particular bottle pictured was enjoyed by all at our Thanksgiving celebration with Alex and Alex's friend Saachi (visiting from Berkeley) at Victoria Lodge, the UCC associated housing.
     We enjoyed the leftovers of Alex's homemade Irish Stew (secret ingredient was quite a lot of brown sauce) along with some mead and the whisky-aged stout.  Tonight was filled with good food and good company.

Thanks a million!
