What is Final Absolution?

Its a Belgian beer, brewed by Dragonmead. Trippel ale, apparently. Haven't tried it myself but are there any bad Belgian beers? No? Thought so. And therefore worth promoting..


Seriously though, its a just a phrase I thought of when I was around 16.. or 18.. I can't remember. I just knew I had more pimples than skin on my face back then and I was a big fan of Muse's album Absolution (which is pretty sick album and way better than whatever dance pop tunes they've wrote since but i digress...) And the phrase just stuck with me.. until I decided to start a blog.. and realised some other beer company stole my phrase!

So what the hell is Final Absolution? I'm not sure what the guys at Dragonmead were thinking.. is it the last beer you drink before you beg for forgiveness from your brain the next day for that nasty hangover you have? To me, the concept of absolution is a tricky one.. as I believe that there shouldn't be a need for any absolution.. the concepts of right and wrong, sin and virtue are all man-made ideas.. Is there really any true wrong or right in this world? How dark does the shade of grey need to be before its considered black? Hence the FINAL absolution. I don't need to say sorry for whatever crap I write here cos I don't force anyone to read it. If you enjoy it, then great, if you hate it, well go watch some K-Pop or funny cat videos on Youtube to make yourself feel better then. And if you find anything good please pass me the link. Except for K-Pop or funny cat videos. Not a fan of those.
