A beer bottle with a cork and a cage?
Well, that’s a first for us.
Affligem Noël Christmas Ale ($8.99 for a 750ml bottle) is a Belgian beer that comes from one of Heineken International’s vast arsenal of breweries.
We stumbled upon the Affligem Noël at the rude Gujju chutiya’s liquor store as we were looking for a bottle of Namaste.
A deep amber colored beer with a high 9% alcohol/volume and off-white, light-brown foam, we fell in love with Affligem Noël after the first sip.
Nice aroma of malt, plums, cherries and a hint of Dhania (coriander seeds).
You wanna know about the taste?
Just slightly bitter. Bordering on sweetness.
More sweet than bitter, if you ask us.
A little toffee-ish or is it caramel, hint of cherry, brown grapes and plum fruits, definitely getting more than a whiff of spices and a big hint of a classy beer.
Is it the touch of spices that adds to the allure of Affligem Noël? Perhaps.
This is a beer with a fine dark fruit flavor and one we greatly enjoyed.
SearchIndia.com has no hesitation in recommending Affligem Noël Christmas Ale.

Have you watched Animal House? Another classic scene which probably inspired Kamal’s crying : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPxnQv4RH5s
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No, we’ve only read Animal ‘All Animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others‘ Farm.
Jack Daniels? In the past, yes. Not anymore. Now we’re on a Gin+ Beer trip. For a few years, it was Whiskey, then Rum, then cocktails. Now mostly Gin or Beer.
That would be Farm right.. Sachin gets his first 100 in IPL.. one more record.. he is the current leading scorer of IPL.
You probably should add Animal House to your resume.
This film was #1 on Bravo’s 100 Funniest Movies. It was #36 on AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Laughs list of the 100 best American comedies. In 2008, Empire magazine selected Animal House as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Thanks. Fixed.
2. We’re planning to work our way through IMDB’s Top 250 movies. Whaddya think?
3. Just unable to summon the enthusiasm for IPL where players from different countries mingle in one team. Our patriotic gene rebels at such miscegenation.
He even hit Dhoni’s patented helicopter shot.. making the purists cringe.
Sachin gets a hundred and his team loses.. Aswin wouldn’t care, though.
OK.. I somehow don’t feel interested by the old movies. Casablanca left me underwhelmed.. Couldn’t sit through more than 10 minutes of GWTW.. You’d probably like “Grand Illusion”.. I won’t be using up a rental on that. Netflix should probably put them classics on Instant Play..
Nice to know you guys are planning to watch the 250, i’m already half way through. Would love to read your reviews about some.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Will start soon, sweetie.
Hopefully, at least some of the 250 are on Netflix Instant Play. Rest, we’ll watch on DVD.
IMDB TOP 250. waiting for reviews..
can also try these out, got some really good silent movies

SearchIndia.com Responds:
Will do. Seen only one or two silent movies so far.
not many of Satyajit ray’s seem to be in the list, but you can add them too. there are many masterpieces.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
We’ve seen Charulata.
I came to know about this site through Bloomberg – http://makebeer.net/ Looks like they have a make your own beer kit for $99. Do you want to try it and enlighten us on how good it is?
I wanted to buy, but there was a stern opposition from my roomies.
Last week we tried this in one of the pubs here – Hoegaarden beer. It was pretty decent with very mild bitter taste. Since you are in beer binge now, you can add this to your list.
Finally, off topic – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMyMT8NLes&feature=share Check this trailer. Very interesting. Hindi movie with a Tamil song. I liked it!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
3. Trailer looks interesting. Let’s see how interesting Shaitan turns out to be.
2. Haven’t tasted Hoegaarden beer but from the description on Wiki it’s probably like Namaste.
1. Beer buying kit?
Yeah, we saw the ad too somewhere but, No thanks.
We like our liquor in a bottle and our food on a plate. 😉
