Sint Bernardus Christmas Ale
4/5. Stronger and less smooth than the 12 Abt but with many of the same flavours – definitely a winter warmer.

4/5. Crisp and bubbly, with a trace of metallic taste giving way to a slightly fruity, slightly peppery body.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
