Extra ordinary beautiful scene. I love the angle in it Tony. It underlines the flatness of the Dutch landscape. The farmhouse in the distance and the water lilies in front are real 'sfeermakers' in this image just like the sky and it's nice reflection in the river. Isn't it the Dommel, Tony?

ADA thanks no wonder the Dutch were Masters at painting. The country setting and art are one and the same. You cannot live here and not be captivated.

YESADAtheDommel indeed IT IS THAT'S WHERE BAVARIA GETS IT'S WATER FROM

Bah!!!!!! Tony!!!! Now you've told me this, I stop drinking my daily pint of Bavaria beer! I have seen all the fishermen around here lately and yes, the crowd of artistic painters and photographers too and I love their creations (well, some of them) but I'm not fond of the products they are used to discharge here. Can you recommend me an other trademark 100% guaranteed safe dark beer, Tony?

How many people knew that Heineken even had a dark beer, raise their hands. OK, that's what I thought.

 

While strolling down my local SUPERMARKET isle the other day, I noticed the cases of Heineken Special Dark hidden just under the regular Heineken stack. This was one of those amazing moments you have when you think "Wow! A new beer I?d like to drink."

 

A sip of the Special Dark caught me by surprise at first. That is to say, I didn't care for it. But I have to say, it grew on me- and by my second beer I enjoyed it. They always say don't judge a beer by it's cover... I finally know why.

 

Heineken Special Dark would make a great Heineken Dark, but I found nothing special about it. Just because they call it special doesn't mean we have to think it's special. Heineken, in general, is one of my imported "fall-back" beers... I order it when I'm not sure what I want yet and someone is pointing at me waiting for an order. Who am I to interrupt someone else's binge?

 

Let me be clear... this does not taste like a Heineken with more bite. It has a thicker, maltier taste with a hint of caramel. It actually has a flavor not unlike some amber brews such as Abita Amber, but definitely without the bitterness. It is darker in the glass, and has a richer head than it's lighter brethren.

 

The Heineken website has a rather extensive timeline of what the brewery has been doing oh, these 400 years... with what seems like a day by day update. Here are the embellished highlights for those of you who have better things to do:

Excellent shot! Great composition ! Well done!
