You know, it was less than a year ago that I couldn’t stand the taste of beer, yet a strange transformation has taken hold, allowing my taste buds to enjoy the complex flavors of good beer.

Tonight I once again savored the goodness of Rogue Hazelnut Brown ale, one of my favorite drafts served just right at Capital Ale House in Richmond.  Flavorful, malty, not too heavy, and a smell almost of caramel.

Of course, I head off to the Czech Republic in June, with full intention of sampling what many consider the finest beer in the world.

The adventure continues…
