Genre: Gothic Mystery

Recommended beer pairing: A spooky gothic mystery, Yes, My Darling Daughter needs a dark beer to warm the soul while reading - a Dubbel.  A Dubbel is a traditional Belgian ale pioneered by Trappist monks, so it evokes the claustrophic (and sometimes creepy) nature of a monastary.  Not too alcoholic, the Dubbel is malty and spicy, dark in color, but mild in bitterness and hops.

Suggested brews:

Ommegang Abbey Ale
Chimay Red
Trappist Westvleteren (if you happen to be in Belgium and win their lottery system)

Read responsibly.
