Keep in mind that I was an herbal tea designer when I ventured into the realm of designing an herbal coffee. Java was created after listening to coffee drinkers tell me that they wanted a regular flavor with less sweetness and fruitiness than Original.
I cut down the dates and figs and took out the citrus top notes to deliver a purer coffee flavor with a deeper roasted body, leaving just a hint of sweet. Flavored with a natural coffee flavor that doesn't have any of the caffeine or acidity of coffee, Java satisfies the coffee drinker who wants a medium roast with just a bit of sweetness. If you want a purely unsweetened brew, try our dark roasted Maya French Roast.

FDIC Consumer News
Fall 2006
News Briefs
Update on Higher Coverage for Retirement Accounts
Readers of FDIC Consumer News know that as of April 1, 2006, FDIC insurance coverage for certain retirement deposits increased from $100,000 to $250,000. The basic insurance coverage for other deposit accounts remains at $100,000 per depositor but, as before, there are ways to qualify for more than the basic coverage. Now here's an update:
In September, the FDIC further clarified which retirement accounts qualify for the $250,000 coverage. They include traditional and Roth IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts), Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs, and Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs. Also included are self-directed Keogh accounts, "457 Plan" accounts for state government employees, and employer-sponsored "defined contribution plan" accounts that are self-directed, which are primarily self-directed 401(k) accounts and include SIMPLE 401(k) accounts. In general, self-directed means that the consumer chooses how and where the money is deposited.
As a result of the new rules, the FDIC has been updating its brochures and videos, the online Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) and other resources for consumers about deposit insurance coverage. These resources can be viewed on the FDIC's Web site at www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits. For more help or information, call the toll-free telephone number in the box on the right.
New Law Promotes Retirement Savings
A massive new law aimed primarily at protecting workers' pensions also includes provisions that encourage saving for retirement and education.
The federal Pension Protection Act of 2006, which became law on August 17, makes permanent various programs that had been due to expire at the end of 2009. These include tax-free withdrawals from "529-plan" college savings accounts and higher annual limits for contributions to 401(k) retirement plans. The law also features authority for employers to automatically enroll employees in 401(k) savings plans instead of requiring the worker to sign up on their own.
New Options for Direct Deposit of Tax Refunds
For years, taxpayers wanting to receive their federal income tax refund by direct deposit have had only one choice — to send the money to one checking or savings account. But starting January 1, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service will give taxpayers new flexibility to split their refunds in up to three different accounts and three different U.S. financial institutions The IRS said the change "will give taxpayers more options for managing their refunds, teamed with the speed and safety of direct deposit."
For more details, go to the IRS Web site at www.irs.gov and search for information about Form 8888.
Guide for Seniors Wins Consumer Award
The FDIC Consumer News special issue devoted to helping seniors and their families make smart decisions about retirement savings and daily money management has won a 2006 Achievement in Consumer Education Award from the National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators, which represents more than 160 consumer agencies at all levels of government in the United States and several other countries.
You can read or print our guide online at www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnfall05. It also is available from the FDIC's Public Information Center (1-877-275-3342 or by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com).

Road kill rates are on the rise in North DakotaWahpeton, ND (WDAY TV) -- About 40 skunks, a few dozens of raccoons, and a handful of pheasants. That's how much road kill was reported, on 200 miles of roadway from Wahpeton to Watertown.
Wahpeton, ND (WDAY TV) -- About 40 skunks, a few dozens of raccoons, and a handful of pheasants. That's how much road kill was reported, on 200 miles of roadway from Wahpeton to Watertown.
North Dakota Game and Fish says it's the perfect time for creatures to be on the move.
You can't miss them. Racoon. After Racoon. After Racoon. Little gory scenes doting the shoulder of the interstate.
Leier: " the fall for some fur-bearers like skunks and raccoons is a peak dispersal time."
North Dakota Game and Fish says tis the season - for furbearing critters to be out and about. Running across the roadways.
There's a lot of things that factor in to the road kill rate. An increase in traffic, for instance, or the warmer weather helping boost survival rates.
Leier: " you have fluctuating environmental conditions. We went from extremely wet to extremely dry."
Another reason for the rash of road kill is that the skunk population is at its peak.
Leier: "we may have seen an increase in population due to the mild winter we had last year, allowing more skunks to survive, increasing reproductive success."
The North Dakota D.O.T. says whenever animals get hit, crews are on call to keep the road safe.
Gorder: "we just drag it off the edge of the road, get it off the right away, and let nature take its course."
D.O.T. says to avoid scenes like this. And this. Keep your eyes peeled.
Drivers have extra distractions. And animals can pop into the road really quickly.
If you see any animals on the road that could pose a threat to drivers, contact local law enforcement.

Disappointed – Very disappointed tonight. I have had good food from Skillman Wok Dallas locations. I just heard of a new Skillman Wok location in Lake Worth. I made the mistake of ordering from them for dinner tonight. I love Chinese food and have had wonderful garlic chicken on many occasions. I ordered chicken with hot garlic sauce. It was not good. There was a very unpleasant taste. I managed to eat the chicken out of it, but I could not eat the vegetables or the sauce. My wife had the governor's chicken. The chicken itself seemed ok, but there was the same unpleasant taste and an unpleasant odor. We barely managed to eat it. I wish I hadn't. The steamed rice was fine, and the eggroll was ok.
I was excited and pleased that they delivered it to my door only 15 minutes late(not bad for Friday evening). I was looking forward to using this service again and again. Now I'm very leary of ever ordering anything from them again. It was the worst tasting Chinese food I have ever had, and I have frequented Chinese restaurants in this area for more than twenty years.

text: I didn't miss that part. I purchased and used that direct connection, but there still wasn't quite enough room to place the dishwasher connection vertically. Between 1965 and now, the sink was changed from a single shallow basin to a double deep basin, and the rough in was installed very high. I trimmed the tail of that dishwasher connection down until the trap was bumping the drain hose nipple, and the trap outlet was still almost 3/4" too low.

Where: Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Miss.
Line: Alabama by 25.
Radio: 95.5 FM
Four-down territory
1. Take the crowd out: Mississippi State is a tough place to play simply because of the crowd noise. Fans over in Starkville take pride in their team and they show it by ringing their cowbells. It's one of the great traditions in the Southeastern Conference.
2. Finish early: Nick Saban called the Bulldogs the best 4-5 team in the country because all of their losses have come to top 20 teams. The Bulldogs have the ability to score so Alabama can't let them hang around and gain confidence. This would be a good opportunity for the Tide to get more young players some playing time and rest for the veterans.
3. Avoid the letdown: The Tide is coming off another emotional victory over LSU and the last thing it can afford is a slip-up down the stretch. The Bulldogs always seem to find a way to make the game ugly and keep it close when the Tide travels to Starkville. Saban has warned his team throughout the week and told them to avoid the "relief syndrome." It will be interesting to see if the coaches' message stuck with the players.
4. Avoid injuries: Alabama is in prime position to make another run at the SEC championship and a national championship. The last thing the team needs is a major injury against a bad opponent. Everyone is a little banged up at this point, so the quicker the Tide finishes off the Bulldogs, the sooner younger players can play.
Key matchup
Alabama's defense versus Mississippi State's quarterbacks: Mississippi State likes to use a two-quarterback system with Tyler Russell and Dak Prescott. Prescott is questionable because of an elbow injury, but he hasn't been ruled out. Alabama's defense will have to be alert if the Bulldogs switch quarterbacks. Russell is more of a drop-back passer, while Prescott is a dual threat behind center.
While Mississippi State plays Alabama tough at home, this one shouldn't be close. Alabama is far and away better than the Bulldogs and should be able to finish this game before the fourth quarter. These next couple of weeks will be nice tuneups for the Iron Bowl. ... Alabama 38, Mississippi State 10.

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at Syngenta Seeds in October 2008.
Interview Details Initially hired through Office Team / Robert Half as contract labor. Worked for office in Fort Wayne, IN. Syngenta does not generally hire for permanent positions so this was a good way to get in the door. Since Syngenta decided to hire contract labor, the hardest part was dealing with Office Team. Office Team personnel are challenging to work with, unsupportive, and could not seem to properly address tax issues year after year.
Interview Question – Company really wanted someone that had previous SAP experience but were willing to train someone that could quickly learn that system. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Salary negotiation was minimal at best. Five years ago was a difficult time to negotiate wages considering that I was unemployed and economic times were tough.
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.
Your feedback has been sent to the team, and we'll look into it.

Inspired Action: Holy Flowing Gratitude
Thanksgiving Day, 2012
Smile. Feel the softness of your heart. It changes everything.
In those moments when you forget it's always a Day of Thanksgiving,
and you feel the burnt edges of life's disappointments
crusting over the softness of your heart,
when you forget how amazing you and your life
and the people you love and this earth really are,
Choose, as hard as it may be, as soon as you notice,
to go to your grateful space and breathe.
Breathe in thank you. Breathe out thank you. Smile. Over and over.
Eventually, this holy flowing gratitude will wash over you
like waves cresting in the ocean. And you will feel blessed.
Really. It will. You will. I promise. If you will try.
Just try. Right now.
See. It worked didn't it?
Feels good, doesn't it?
What, no luck?
Well, not to sound like that overly-critical, annoying know-it-all
you're trying to be grateful for,
which is why you're even trying this in the first place,
but you know you didn't do it long enough.
Must have some heavy lifting in there. Sorry.
Go back and do it again. And relax. It will work.
I know, you're right, it may take longer than you like,
but if you keep trying, gratitude will arrive
and the relief you feel when it washes over you
will land you in such a deep state of grace
that tears of joy might even join your party.
Long forgotten memories, people you love,
happy places, recaptured dreams
will begin to flow back into you.
Smile. Feel the softness of your heart. It changes everything.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Love, Mary

I am up for Nellie. I really want a call back because I an just getting over strep so my singing wasn't too hot.

Parmesan Herb KnotsCuisinart Original Recipe
These soft rolls are great to serve along with soups. They can also be sliced to hold a hamburger or your favorite sandwich combination."
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm (105-110°F) water
1¼ cups cool (70°F) water
½ cup fat free powdered milk
½ cup potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes, unflavored)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1½ teaspoons salt
6½ to 7 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Combine the granulated sugar, yeast and 1 cup warm water in the Cuisinart™ mixing bowl. Stir and let stand 5 minutes to proof.
Insert the dough hook. Add the 1¼ cups of cool water, powdered milk, potato flakes, ¼ cup olive oil, salt and 5 ¾ cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
Add the Parmesan cheese and turn to speed 3. Mix until completely incorporated. Add the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary until a soft, smooth dough ball is formed. Set the timer for 4 minutes and the speed to 3 to allow the dough to knead.
Transfer to a bowl that has been lightly coated with olive oil. Turn to coat dough and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (May also let rise in a 2-gallon resealable freezer weight plastic bag.)
Combine 1⁄3 cup olive oil and Italian seasoning and let stand while dough rises. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Twenty to thirty minutes before baking, preheat oven to 350°F.
Punch dough to deflate and divide into 24 equal portions (about 2¼ ounces each). Roll each into a 12-inch rope and tie into a knot. Place on prepared baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 35 to 45 minutes. Brush lightly with herbed olive oil mixture. If desired, sprinkle each with ½ teaspoon of the optional Parmesan cheese.
Place in preheated 350°F oven and bake until lightly browned, about 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the baking sheets after about 7 minutes. Brush knots lightly with reserved olive oil mixture. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Random Discussions III – As Random As You Wanna Be
These forums are for discussing Scott's work and/or related topics. If you'd like to share something with the rest of the class, BEFORE CREATING A NEW THREAD, please check out all the old ones first to see if there's already one started for the topic you want to discuss. There are hundreds out there, so chances are, there's something to suit your purpose.
If you DON'T find a thread for what you're looking for and you think your topic will really interest the Junkies and get a lot of comments, then by all means, go ahead and create a thread for your topic.
This thread is where you can post just about anything else you want to discuss. Have at it!
Oooohhhh, a new ramdom thread. Look, it's shiny!
Shiny and clean! I don't expect it to stay that way for very long though…
Nope, not long at all….
OOOOOHHHH!!!! Shiny!!! A new Forum! Woo-hoo!
Hmmm… so what to say? Such pressure! Hmmmm….
Did you ever notice that rainbows are pretty?
Damn, what a crappy thought… I suck under pressure.
Oh yeah! Once again: I HAVE NEW SOCKS!
It still has that New Forum Smell! Though not as satisfying as that Sigler Stank that is smeared all over!
Eeew! Scott we know this is your territory, you don't have to mark it.
Anything I want to discuss? Well, my uvula is back to normal size.
Strep throat?
I see Kali has been marking her territory again. Hey Bella, bring your mop over here!
Jeebus, Kali!!! It's a BRAND NEW THREAD!!! Go pis in the Lounge!
Dozie, this is all YOUR fault!
Hi Im Jayguana and I'm a… whoops wrong place for that. Hows everyone doing? Well straight to the point then junkies, I have finally made the jump to modern times and now have a nook! And Im wondering if anyone would like to suggest any free titles or would like to be Nook friends so we can lend books to one another! Hi Bella, Kali, Shady, Pondy and JP!
Hey, Jay, how are you? Where did the blue dildos go?
Go pis in the Lounge? I'M NOT ANANIMAL!!
No, luckily. I think I irritated my throat by gargling with alcoholic mouthwash. My uvula got all swollen & I lost my voice.
Jay! Welcome back to the fold, brutha! Unfortunately I'm a kindle advocate and an unable to share with needy Nookies.
Sadly they have been retired, Ive been good, bad, broke, and even more broke. Then I got better! Nothing horrible just tuff times! How about you?
Oh you silly Kindle people! Thanks for the welcome, and Congrats on the DØD! Im guessing that you have been keeping busy?
I'm doing pretty well. Unfortunately, I have not won the lottery or been officially declared Ruler of the World, yet. And I also have no nookie.
Jay! Good to see you back! We missed you.
Hey Jay! Where the hell have you been?! No matter, good to have you back!
I have a Kindle Fire and I don't think the ebooks for it are the same file type otherwise I'd be happy to share. Sorry friend.
Who's Ananimal?
Its good to be seen!
Not me. I thought I made that clear.
OK, this is pretty random.
Any other Junkies out there interested in volcanos? science? TBG and I are seriously considering going on Phil Plait's next Science Getaway vacation in Bend, OR.
It would completely RAWK if some other Junkies were coming as well. Course, we'll see ALL of you (yes, ALL) at Siglerfest2K13. No excuses.
Well, I don't know much about volcanos, but I can vouch for Phil and his wife being awesome hosts. They're great people, Phil is so good at sharing what he knows in an easy to understand way, and his wife is funny, sassy and gets things done. I wish I could go, it will be an AWESOME time.
Scott Sigler: So awesome, he stops furries from yiffing…
Remember when we were young and the site was an open book; We used to say live and let live (you know you did you know you did you know you did); But if this ever-changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry…
Then we'll do what all good junkies do and shoot ducks at balloons and everything will be as it seems. (I have new socks.)
How's that for some Sunday morning random?
Um… I think you may have drowned your sorrows last night a little too well… glad you have new socks!
We've met Phil several times at Dragon*Con and he seems great – very funny, very knowledgeable. The Big Guy is a total sicence-nerd and loves all the astronomy stuff. And I did get As in my freshman "Rocks for Jocks & Journalism Students" classes in college!
If we can get the time off from work, we're going. But Siglerfest 2K13 is on the schedule already!
What's up with the avatars now??? Some are showing and some are not!
Yeah, this.
I'm not nearly hammered enough to be missing parts of my vision, yet.
Wassup wit dat?
No more posting pictures of your d
That's Jayguana!
Are you seeing a "n" where there isn't one?
huh? what? new what? cool,
We're working on the avatars, peeps. Sorry about that. But Kali, it is kinda your fault. Everything was FINE until you said mine was too big …
OF COURSE it's Kali's fault!
I mean, that's what I said. I mean … WHAT
I be back!
Still not getting email notifications of posts… Is that Kali's fault too???
No drowning on this end. I was hoping someone would finish the (slightly modified) lyrics and/or pick up on the Simpson's reference.
I'm feeling yiffy……
Does anyone else think Pookie Chang probably his hanging massive dong?
It's like that don't think of a white bear game; now that's all I can think of

Well, the Olympics can go fuck itself, now.
You have to look for the silver lining, maybe they will add something really cool. maybe something that could get my fat ass off the couch and in top competing shape… I want the chance to bring home a gold medal! hand to god, if they ever brought in some drinking games like in the movie beerfest i would start upping my practice immediately!
Or they could bring back some older ones like tug of war; or ones that were used once or twice but not counted like water skiing or lifesaving. Those all seem watchable and awesome.
youre right! we should bring back some of the old stuff. Lets go back a bit further though, I say bring back cattle sacrafices, Chariot racing and boxing with the hardened leather sometimes metal straps covering fighters fists!
Wait would they competing naked too?
(not sure if that awesome or traumatising)
Well that all depends… if they brought in some beer games and let people like me in to play, it could be pretty damn traumatizing. Picture Kenny powers on a naked bender in front of millions of people… not pretty. If they brought back the nakedness for the current Olympics I'm not sure if that would help ratings or hurt them, the largest viewing audience is 55+ and that could go either way.
The beer games would not really bug me; I used to live on party row. I am very used to coming home and seeing a drunk dude sans pants passed out in front of our place or peeing in the bushes outside our dorm.
Got to agree with the current olympics going either way; some of those olymipians are kind of cute… plus some of those naked events would be hilarious, imagine naked fencing.
You gents may be interested in searching the forum for Virtual Bar fight themed threads, then.
Oh yeah!! Is it time for another VBF yet?
THought it was time for a new avatar. This seems like a good place to test drive it.
Nice! It's a little small though. Kinda hard to tell whose bald cranium that is!
It is. I may change it again. I had a hard time picking anything.
Maybe just crop it a bit.
I may do that or I may just pick something else. I'm thinking about it.
That depends: is del gonna make it to SF2k13?
Dude, it's "virtual." If Del makes it to SF2K13, you guys are going to arm wrestle.
ahhh! I have the incessant need to watch more harlem shake videos
There is no cure…
youve got me this time Harlem Shake
So, AMC has this (weird) new show called Immortalized. It's a rogue taxidermy competition (who knew people even did this?!). I happened to catch an episode last night and saw this… thing that one of the "Immortalizers" created.
I couldn't help but wonder if this is Mommy's pet catfish!
After seeing this photo i had to youtube the show, i was expecting to be completely creeped out but a few of the entries looked cool. reminds me of The Savior.
Kind of reminds me of all those old sideshows that used to advertise that they had "real mermaids" that were really just monkey bodies sewn onto large fish tails. Some of these things are so much cooler though (and some are just as freaky)
Maybe this was Bry-Bry's 1st attempt.
Freaky, yes. I didn't even know there was such a thing as "rogue taxidermy", let alone the fact that it's popular enough to have a tv competition show!
Some of this stuff might make good inspiration for some kind of creepy creature. Who knows we may one day see a what ever that thing was, or a squirrel-fish thing in one of Scott's books.
uggg i need to quit starting my mornings with huffington post, its rotting my brain maaaaan!
Dorm had a mini-flood last night, well not night it was four in the morning when I noticed the water coming from the ceiling, the sprinkler and even from the light fixture. Apparently the guys in the dorm above us had some kind of water back up and slept though the whole thing. Meaning that their dorm flooded and then it went into our place.
We're all ok; the carpet's just really damp and all of us roomies are really tired, since the fire alarm also went off and we had to spend an hour in the RA's dorm while he tried to get everything under control.
That Sucks! was it the dripping water that woke you up? man, I think I would have been in a pretty shitty mood the rest of the day. So, what do they do about something like that? i mean do they let it air dry out? remove the carpet? seems to me in a couple of days you're gonna have some smelly carpet.
No I'd been up studing and was geting ready for bed when I saw the water. I'm used to plumbing backing up so I was pretty calm about the whole thing seeing as the water was clear (or clear as it gets on camput) if it had been poo water I probably would have freaked out a lot more.
Campus is going to gut the building over the summer, they did what they could but there's only like a month of school left and the repairs will be easier to do once they kick us out for the summer.
The smell's not really a concern since we're all going to be out in less than a month and all older dorms smell funky. For all we know the flood might have actually imporved the smell of the guys' dorm above us. I don't want to sound sexist but you can usually tell which dorms have had guys in them.
Does anyone else smile when the see the words poo water? I'll grow up one of these days I swear… ahh yes, Man stink. You won't hear any argument from me, you get a bunch of guys together in a small area and we just stink. I shared a 2 bedroom house with 3 other dudes and after a while we had to develop rules like leaving shoes and sandals outside… any dirty clothes that you didnt plan on washing right away needed to be sealed in a garbage bag and finally dont leave food anywhere. While this may be common sense to women, men need to learn this the hard way.
Andy Dick is strange.
That he is…. I will have to admit that i laughed my ass off at some of his skits when he had hiw own show on Mtv, years and years ago
I hate liking shitty sports teams.
The '06 Champions Cup win and another year of going one-and-done in the post season is starting to get taxing as a lacrosse fan.
Come on Seahawks…give me something to chear for this fall.
Check out my awesome new avatar created by the awesome Junkie, @Clever_Username! Thanks so much! This is just too cool!
Whoa! Bells, that's supermegaawesome!
That is freaking awesome
To quote JP and John Tweedy, it's "supermegaawesome"!
that too
Hoping someone could help me out with the spelling of the Prawatt player, Katzenbaum Wheezly, is this right, or no? I only have the audiobook, so I cannot see it…lol. Thought it would be an awesome name for my new kitten…lol.
I just did a search for it on my Kindle Fire. It's spelled Katzembaum Weasley.
Moscow Mules are awesome.
Carry on.
Thanx so much! I tried to reply sooner, but could not get my keyboard to pop up on my phone. Either site is not mobile device compatible, or my phone just sux, I'm betting on the latter…lol.
Life can kick you right in the taint sometimes. All you can do is face each sunrise with a smile knowing eventually it's going to hurt it's foot and bugger off.
…or it decides you're getting too uppity and throws on a dislocated thumb for good measures.
Random post!
Sigh, read the followup email about the temp passwords AFTER going through the whole lost password thing. That will teach me to jump right in!
A personal note, I dislike this style of forum, phpBB style is much more usable, IMHO.
First login also seemed a touch slow, but that must be the influx of people visiting the site after the email from Scott
Still, keep up the good work.
Eagerly awaiting my pre-order of Pandemic and I have finally reading my Nocturnal book, I didn't want to read it too soon after listening to the Nocturnal podcast, which I listened to a while back.
I'm in…
Can you feel me FDO?

Unclick the box that says "Notify me of follow-up replies via email" at the bottom of the page.
I have new socks
I NEED new socks!
CB has new socks too.
Um, what exactly is THAT thing in the corner? And more importantly, WHO did it?
@JP Ewwwwwww. I think it was @ScottEPond
@JP and @Shadygirl Blame Taco Bell for that beauty…
Whew! I was worried it was something @CB did. You know…a repeat performance of "The Shower Incident".
@JP O.M.G. You did NOT just remind me of "the shower incident"
I don't wear socks. Except when I do.
@Shadygirl Whaaaat? -looks around innocently- Was it wrong of me?
@JP Yes, yes it was.
Scott, I want to meet you some day! You are the MAN! I know it will be a while before you are in the Ohio area (yes, I wrote O-H-I-O), but still want to see you. You are the ultimate DOL!!!!!
thank god…
Figure this is a good thread for this.
In about two months it'll be the one year anniversary of the death of one of my friends. He always had a lot of mental problems. He'd just made the switch to chemistry as a major and was doing a lot better, feeling a lot happier. But he was still trying out various drugs, out of curiosity or to help forget his problems I'm not sure, and was sold a bad cut of something I forget the name of. His roommate, after not seeing him all day, went to check on him. Saw him lying prone on his bathroom floor through the window. Roommate kicked down the door, but he'd already been dead for while.
We weren't close friends (he was close friends with my recent ex-, though, so I was around him quite a bit), but I really felt for the trials he had made it through. There are a few things I always remember when I think of him. One is all the times things seemed really rough on him, all the times I saw and never really tried to help because I wasn't sure what to do. Another is that he was a junkie. The only junkie I've randomly met. He had to rely on the podcasts for content since he couldn't afford to buy the books. I always think how I should have just loaned him the most recent books, but never did for various reasons I regret.
Anyway. Since I wasn't close and I was embarrassed to do so in front of my ex-, I didn't speak at his memorial service. However, I've been thinking recently that I'd like to honor his memory by writing him into some Sigler fanfiction.
However, I just haven't been feeling up to writing lately. It's really hard for me to write certain fandoms when the author has provided really I want to know and hasn't left big plotholes for me to explore. I feel more like an invader than an explorer. Sigler is one of these fandoms. So I was wondering if any kind junkies might just provide me with a prompt or two? My friend told me his favorite story once, but I can't quite remember what it was. It might have been Infected or it might have been Nocturnal. Since I don't really remember, I'm open to setting, so feel free to go wild with prompts.
Thanks, all.
Maybe the backstory of a minor character in Nocturnal, or the story of an unknown character within the department who encountered some unexplained events prior to Bryan joining the force? Or it seems there might be some latitude in the Earthcore part of the timeline…perhaps a short story of an early discovery of the tunnels, before the actual start of the Earthcore book. Or a series of chance sightings of some of the creatures like the rocktopi. Maybe they made their way to the surface for some reason and got spotted by an adventurous person…
@Insignificant_Blood_Splatter I was also going to suggest a minor storyline from Nocturnal but I also like @JP's ideas about Earthcore as well.
Either way, I think it's a really great thing you are doing and I think your friend would be honored.
Listening to The Skeptics Guide to the Universe and they mention the DOL being on a panel at DragonCon!!!! Whohoo Big Time!
I did the math. I need a 3rd job or a 35% raise. As for socks, I like them. Maybe when it's a little cooler I'll get myself a fluffy orange pair …. I have no idea how I got here … I'm lost …. HOME link? …. x
@J.P. Hmm… I think that Nocturnal one gave me an idea, thanks! I've been tempted to try Earthcore, but I'd have to go re-listen a gain a few times.
@Belladonna420 – Thanks! <3
Made me laugh moment … So … I was working on a multimedia project …. Randomly surfing my FaceBook newsfeed & saw that Scott recently had bought a cross stitch pattern and … yes I kept reading … while thinking … REALLY the FDO knits? What fucking universe am I in. Then I noticed that a young lady had shared that she was the artist … Apparently I'm not a stellar multitasker! Phew … !!! … Cuz if THAT was reality … I'd think about taking the blue pill Morpheus …The story ends, I wake up in my bed & believe w/e I want to believe …. tho it could explain that cool knit cap I saw him wearing in one of his videos. x
Waiting on Pandemic … I imagine its almost as painful as removing a triangle with a sharp pair of chicken sheers. So I'm listening to Infected again. I miss Perry. x
I NEEDS … wait… is this thing on?? HELLO?? (tap tap) can you HEAR me now?? *damn, gotta get me a new mic*
Could it be? There has actually been a @treed sighting?
Up there!
Could be like a ghost sighting. Was it real? Was it a trick of the light?
So, you're saying I am unsubstantial??
Why would you leap to that conclusion. Maybe I'm saying you're more supernatural.
He does have a knack for showing up and disappearing.
RUMORS!! nothing but rumors…
Hey everyone
I just thought I would check in… I think it's been a while!
Kind Regards – Neil
HA!! I knew Neil was lurking….
Ahh. A wild Neil in his natural habitat!
Aahh… Rail Guns rule?..
SIGLER!!! you are killing me! "Games Creatures Play", "Robot Uprising", now I hear about "Help Fund My Robot Army" and "The End is Nigh"???!! I am going to need a new library for all things Sigler! I will need a to sell my children to purchase everything related to the FDO! (thanks for that by the way)
It bothers me a great deal that I never knew the joy of pajama pants until today.
Sweet jebus, these things are awesome.
@athanas You have been missing out! JP loves them for a lazy day around the house.
All I wanna know is … who dropped the balls and let Athanas back on the site?
Ok, is it just me or are all the threads upside down again? I have to scroll for hours to get to the most recent post!
@ExotiKali I don't know. We may have to set CB up as the guard.
Naw. You just have to read them while doing a head stand. Then it's in the right order.
Umm…did the search results links in Google get bigger, or did that last drink last night actually shrink me down?
I can't stand on my head!! I'll fall down!
I'm inunobtainable! I'm uncontrainable! I'm artificially flavored!
You! Cane't! Hold! Me!!!
You want me to cane you? YAY! Siglerfest BodyMaim 2Ø14!!
Yeah, the scrolling for two miles SUCKS!
@ExotiKali Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by it.
And when I hit "reply," it doesn't. I manually type in the "@"
@exotikali, I'm not sure the reply button ever actually worked that way. I've always typed the "@"… unless I was doing it for no reason before…
As the reigning Siglerverse Triple Crown Champion, I would be doing a disservice to those who have fallen in my wake by saying no to that.
Sometimes, voting works.

Five must-see fights to close 2012
Story Highlights
MMA is poised for a big year in 2013, but five fights are worth watching to end '12
Cain Velasquez meets Junior dos Santos in a rematch of their '11 bout at UFC 155
If Chris Weidman beats Tom Boetsch, he could be in line to fight Anderson Silva
A potential champion vs. champion super fight in Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre. Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen. Jose Aldo Jr. vs. Frankie Edgar. The return of controversial headliners Alistair Overeem and Nick Diaz after Nevada Athletic Commission suspensions. Ronda Rousey's UFC debut. Bellator's move on Spike TV.
All the signals point to the mixed martial arts industry gearing up for a monster slate of 2013 events in its effort to rebound from a turbulent 2012. But while the fight world chatters about what could transpire next year, there's the danger of overlooking what appears on paper to be a blistering final month of fights before we break out new calendars.
With that in mind, a sneak preview of five fights worth watching over the holiday season:
(One note before we get started: If this list seems UFC-heavy, it's in part because other fight companies simply aren't offering much in December. Bellator, which does have multiple events scheduled, is holding back most of its high-profile talent for its Spike debut. And while Japan's Dream promotion plans on holding a big combined MMA and kickboxing event in Saitama on New Year's Eve, as of this writing, none of the MMA bouts for the card have been announced).
1. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Alexander Gustafsson, UFC on FOX 5, Seattle, Dec. 8: While most of his former PRIDE Fighting Championship compadres have slowly fallen by the wayside, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua keeps on ticking. But for how long? Rua (27-6) turns 31 on Nov. 25. He's not old per se, but the former UFC light heavyweight champion's hard-charging style is likely to catch up with him eventually.
With the exception of a quick knockout of Forrest Griffin at UFC 134, all of Rua's fights over the past two years have been grueling. He was on the wrong end of a beatdown in losing the light heavyweight title to Jones in March 2011. He lost a decision in a five-round battle against Dan Henderson last November in a bout considered by many the fight of the year -- precisely for the level of punishment the two inflicted on one another. And he had a tough go of it in a four-round rumble with Brandon Vera in August before winning.
That's the Rua who meets Alexander Gustafsson on the UFC on FOX 5 main card. The 25-year old Swede, who trains in San Diego, is the UFC's best hope for finding a legitimate, non-retread challenger for Jones' title. The 6-foot-5 Gustafsson is 14-5 and has won five straight since losing to current Alliance MMA teammate Phil Davis two years ago. His wins have come against an increased level of competition each time out.
Rua vs. Gustafsson is a solid test for each, both in gauging whether Gustafsson is a real title contender and whether you can still say the same about "Shogun."
2. Benson Henderson vs. Nate Diaz, UFC on FOX 5, Seattle, Dec. 8: This one could almost be sold on storyline basis alone, particularly on FOX, which isn't exactly allergic to ginned-up controversy. Henderson, the UFC lightweight champion, professes that he doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and he is vocal in his Christian beliefs. Diaz, while avoiding the excesses which have snagged his older brother, Nick, nonetheless throws down with one of MMA's brashest crews at Cesar Gracie's camp.
But to focus solely on personalities would be to undersell what promises to be a fantastic tactical fight. Both combatants boast well-rounded skills sets and limitless gas tanks. Diaz is a skilled submission artist; Henderson has an unparalleled ability to find his way out of tight submissions. They can both stand and bang, with Henderson the more technical of the two and Diaz a fierce brawler.
Regardless of whether you're tuning in for the storyline or the action, Henderson vs. Diaz looks like a can't-miss fight.
3. Jamie Varner vs. Melvin Guillard, The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale, Las Vegas, Dec. 15: The most anticipated fights tend to be those with big consequences in their divisional scheme, grudge matches, or any involving a needle-moving superstar.
Sometimes, though, matches are made simply because they look fun on paper. This is one of those. Varner (20-7-1, 1 no-contest), the former WEC lightweight champion, and Gullard (30-11-2, 1 no-contest), known as "The Young Assassin," both have well-earned reputations for bringing fireworks. Varner and Guillard have a combined 30 fights in the UFC and WEC. Twenty-four out of 30 have ended via KO/TKO or submission and only six have gone the distance.
Varner is coming off a bout which will merit serious Fight of the Year consideration in his third-round loss to Joe Lauzon on Aug. 4. That one was filled with several dramatic twists and turns before Lauzon was able to use a Varner takedown against him and turn it into a submission. Guillard, meanwhile, is coming off perhaps the most frenzied 1:16 seen in the octagon this year against Donald Cerrone at UFC 15. Guillard floored and nearly finished Cerrone right off the bat with a huge counter left hand, but Cerrone rallied and knocked Guillard cold with a head kick. If Varner vs. Gulliard doesn't deliver action, that in and of itself might be the upset of the year.
4. Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez, UFC 155, Las Vegas, Dec. 29: When these two last met, dos Santos (15-1) famously swatted Velasquez (10-1) in just 64 seconds and claimed his UFC heavyweight title.
There's one school of thought which holds the decisive result of the first fight, in and of itself, should be enough to preclude a rematch. Then there's the other, which understands that anyone can get tagged at any moment in a mixed martial arts fight. The dynamics of this fight haven't changed from last year: Few doubt that dos Santos, the winner of all nine of his UFC fights and possibly the best pure boxer in the sport, holds the advantage when the fight is standing. But can Velasquez, a tremendous wrestler with nasty ground-and-pound skills, get dos Santos to the floor this time around? If he can, then the former champion has a real shot at avenging his only career loss.
5. Chris Weidman vs. Tim Boetsch, UFC 155, Las Vegas, Dec. 29: Watching the undefeated Weidman, a Long Island native and Matt Serra protégé, at times feels like watching a rising St-Pierre: You had a gut feeling you were witnessing a future champion in the making, it was just a matter of how long it would take and whether he'd stumble along the way.
After Weidman (9-0) blitzed Mark Munoz in July for his fifth straight UFC win, several called for him to face UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva. That was a bit premature, but Weidman faces his next step up the ladder in the oft-overlooked Boetsch (16-4). Since dropping to middleweight, Boetsch is 4-0, with wins that include a fantastic rally over Yushin Okami in Japan and his exposure of the hype job that was Hector Lombard's 25-fight unbeaten streak, as Boetsch shut the former Bellator champ down at UFC 149.
Weidman vs. Boetsch is one of three upcoming bouts which should help determine who most deserves the next title shot at middleweight champion Anderson Silva: Okami meets Alan Belcher on the same UFC 155 card, and Michael Bisping meets Vitor Belfort in Brazil on Jan. 19.

Early initiation of breastfeeding
Breastfeeding has many health benefits for both the mother and infant. To reduce infant mortality and ill health, WHO recommends that mothers first provide breast milk to their infants within one hour of birth – referred to as "early initiation of breastfeeding". This ensures that the infant receives the colostrum ("first milk"), which is rich in protective factors.
In many parts of the world, the rates of early initiation of breastfeeding are extremely low. Interventions to help initiate breastfeeding early include:
- providing mothers with information about breastfeeding before birth;
- assisting mothers with skin-to-skin contact and with recognition of signs showing that the baby is ready to start breastfeeding;
- ensuring that maternity facilities have polices and staff who encourage mothers and infants to stay in the same room, and initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth;
- supporting early initiation of breastfeeding mothers that give birth at home.

The last pint I got to try at my first visit to the DPH pub. Great smoky aroma to this one. Taste is also smoky but very flavorful. Some great nuttiness and the fruits come through, and the roasted flavors make for a great, well-balanced beer. Not quite as good as the 75 Minute, but was the second best beer I tried and the uniqueness of this one makes it worth a try,

From 750mL bottle to tasting glass at a NoVA Beer Tasting on 10/23/11
*From notes
-- Thanks for supplying this one, Bill --
A: Meh - simple leathery brown hue. A decent pour yields a dissapointing .75 finger head and minimal lacing.
S: Smoke. A bit nutty too. Hints of toffee and malt peek through here and there.
T: Just too much liquid smoke for me. All the delicate nuances of what a Brown Ale should be are decimated by SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE!!!! Come on gents, it's called balance. Where are the plantains and the nuttiness from the pecans? It's called "Wrath of Pecant" for God's sake. All I get is smoke and mirrors (see what I did there?)
M: Oddly oily. A bit undercarbed and thin.
O: DFH's Wrath of Pecant was one of the more dissapointing beers at the tasting. There's a total lack of balance here, and for someone who doesn't like smoked beers (but knows a good one when he tastes it), this was hard to get down.
If you're gonna do a smoke/rauchbier, please cut down on that hedache-inducing liquid smoke essence, and find a more complex and flavor enhancing smoky profile.

Brown pour with hints of yellow and a white head that laces nicely. The oak barrels leave a very nice smell on this. Smokey and malty. Pecan barrels? It shows. The smokiness really takes the taste over. Hints of molasses, malts, caramel, but very smoky. Medium body, although you'd expect it to be lighter. A bit boozey on the backend This was tasty. It wasn't phenomenally good, but interesting nonetheless.

750ml bottle shared at a recent tasting. It poured a deep orange amber color with a thin white head clinging to the edges of the glass. Very cool color, the head disappeared rather quickly though.
In the aroma I get a little bit of smoke mixing with some sweeter notes of dark fruits and cherry flavors. Some malty, brown sugar like characteristics come out as well. Pretty nice aroma overall.
The taste shows more of the malty sweet flavors up front with some dark fruit and brown sugar notes to it. In the finish the smoke really starts to come out and gives it a very nice smoky dry finish.
The mouthfeel is a little on the thinner side with carbonation being about average. Overall I thought it was a very solid beer. I especially liked the smoky finish to it. Very interesting and tasty beer overall.

I didn't taste any pecan as I recall. This review is probably a wash though as I didn't take notes and it was my 9th or 10th big sample.
But I do remember it being nice and smooth. Rich malty carmel taste. I wish I had anothe bottle thats for sure. Good stuff. Thanks Goes out to Jeff D (@emelius)

ark brown in color with a rich look to it. Some light hints of a reddish note poking through on the sides and the bottom of the glass. Nice touches of fine off white head forming on the top, nothing extreme though, maybe a half an inch or so. This faded down gracefully and left behind just a touch of lace on the edges of the glass.
The aroma was very nice and quite sweet as well. Rich notes of caramel, nuts, and a hint of brown sugar all playing very nicely. As it warmed up some hints of an earthy hop note started to take shape, as well as a nice underlying layer of grain. The flavor was just really top notch here. Rich and vibrant and amazingly complex. Starting with a wave of smooth caramel malts, evolving with an earthy hop tone that offered a nice balance to the sweet notes that had started it all. This was mellow and super smooth. Easing back down the original path, a nice touch of pecan then rolled across the tongue, mellowing out the finish and providing that last gasp of sweetness before the flavor finished out.

Big thanks to Jazzhead74 for sharing this one at the Hill Farmstead Saison event last weekend.
Appearance: Pours a red tinged brown that is fairly transparent. Head is small, white, shows minimal retention, and minimal lace.
Smell: Faintly toasted pecans, toffee notes, and a dash of sweetness (lightly caramel coated banana).
Taste: Same as nose.
Mouthfeel: Light side of medium bodied and a touch undercarbonated at this point.
Drinkability: Would be higher if the mouthfeel was better.

Big thanks to Matt (mdaschaf) for sending this bottle to me in our first trade. Reviewing from notes, opened on St. Patrick's Day this year. 750 ml bottle, split with Nick on camera and poured into two globe glasses.
A: Semi-hazy medium brown colored body with a slightly off-white head. The retention was pretty nice, leaving a thin film as well as minor splotches of lacing around the glass.
S: Smoked pecans, oak wood, general nuttiness from the pecans and perhaps some carob chips coming through as well. It's very toasted and earthy in nature and does have a certain sweetness to it like sugar-coated nuts. Very diverse, unique and interesting for what could have been a standard brown ale.
T: Initially, roasted wood and some caramel malts come through, followed soon by a slight floral element. The pecans really come through in the finish and as this beer sits and your palate lets everything soak in, the pecans are the dominate flavor. A linger of yam and even the carob comes back for a second.
M: A bit thinner than I expected on the palate, well carbonated although it feels like it still has a medium body -- nothing of a really light bodied nature.
I really did enjoy this beer and wish it was made on a more frequent basis. By no means do I drink brown ales regularly, in fact I almost always pass over them. However, the addition of the pecans and carobs give this an entirely new dimension that is really just well executed. Albeit a bit saddened, this is one Brown Ale I am extremely happy I was able to try. Thanks again Matt!

Thanks a ton to bobbypaulson over on RB for the hook up! 750ml dated 2010. Poured at 60ish degrees into a DFH signature glass.
A - Very nice brown body with a lasting off white head and some nice lacing.
S - Lots of smokey flavors. Toffee, caramel, and just a hint of sweet earthy bananas. The smell is very savory.
T - Huge wave of smoke and sweet malts. I've eaten plantains before and I get that sense, although its basically just a glorified banana. Carob...I looked it up and Wikipedia said it could be used as a chocolate substitute and is slightly sweet. There is a hint of cocoa nib sweetness which I guess is that carob. Quite tasty. The mouth feel is well carbonated, but still meaty enough for the big savory flavors.
O - I'm not a big fan of smoked beers, which this beer is essentially. It does have the nice smooth nuttiness of a brown ale though. Thankfully the smoke is fairly mellow and blends quite nicely with the other flavors. This is a great collaboration, and it has held up well with age. Its also a bit refreshing to see a DFH beer that doesn't have a crazy high abv and taste like syrup (even though that's part of why I love them so much...)

Grabbed a bottle of Wrath during the 2011 Weekend of Compelling Ales at DFH and finally got around to giving it a shot.
Poured a medium brown color with very little white head that disapered quickly. Smells include toffee, banana, and malt. Maybe even a hint of chocolate. Tasted very malty and earthy- I don't know what plantains taste like but I have a feeling that I tasted some in the banana bread-ish highlights. There's some nutty roastiness in there as well. Mouthfeel was watery and there was some carbonation but nothing crazy.
Overall, there were a lot of characteristics you would expect from a brown ale, but the flavor was much more complex and it didn't have the bitterness that you find sometimes, and it deftinitely wasn't flat. I enjoyed it- too bad it's not more readily available or I'd be drinking it with some frequency.

Poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color with a finger of off white head that goes away almost completely.
Smell: Mildly smokey with a caramel malt sweetness and some fruity notes.
Taste: There is some bready malt, this beer isn't too sweet at all. There is some smoke, which I really enjoyed. I can just pick up the plantains a little bit. The finish is bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with very mild carbonation. The finish is dry.
Overall: I really liked the mild smoke, that together with the bitter finish made the beer. I think this one benefited from a bit of age. A nice offering and I'm glad I got to try it again.

Had this baby to celebrate last nite at home! Pours a nice amber/brownish color, very thin though, little bit of lacing on the side of my dogfish snifter. Smell was wonderful, got the carib and the hint of pecan smoked wood, couldn't really figure out the plantain smell, wasn't there in my opinion. Taste was where its at! Lovely going down, nice subtle melding of flavors, actually glad this wasn't a really strong 10% beer, sometimes subtle flavors need to shine. Was going to save some of this for my roomate, but after drinking half of the bottle in 5 minutes, there was no chance of that happening! Glad i got another bottle chilling in the "cellar" aka the big plastic covered bin in my closet!

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance -- Pours a garnet hue with a slim sudsy beige head. A bit ho-hum, but not bad.
Smell -- Carob and plantain sweetness is in the forefront, along with cocoa, toasted malt, and woodsmoke. Nice interplay with the plantain sweetness and the smoke.
Tatse -- The pecan wood smoke is much more evident in the taste, but as the smokiness begins to ebb on the palate, the chocolatey carob and plantain sweetness begin to pronounce themselves more, along with toasted malt sweetness and a bit of dark fruit character.
Mouthfeel -- Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. It feels pretty good. Very drinkable.
Overall -- I like it. The carob and plantain really evevate this from a potentially ho-hum smoked beer to an interesting interpretation of the style. A year later and this is still drinking really well!

Was very excited to try this beer last year at the brewpub. Ordered a bottle and gave it a pour. The color was a light orangey brown with a fizzy white head. There isn't much lacing here. The smell of the beer is a bit nutty and slightly floral. The taste is kind of on the sweet side some brown sugar perhaps, some nuttiness in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and light bodied. Overall it was a decent brew but nothing too impressive.

Thanks to syscrusher for the trade and aging this wherever he did for the last year plus.
Aromas of sweet butterscotch and caramel maltiness. As it warms you also get some slight toasted nuttiness and a more pronounced brown sugar aroma. I get no smoke or wood at all but that is understandable considering this beer was brewed over a year ago I believe.
The taste follows the nose but is much more subdued than I expected. I get a lot of sweet burnt caramel and butterscotch again. Not much in the way of nuttiness. There is a slight roasted character in the finish, but very slight; kinda like roasted peanuts (or in this case I guess Pecans). Once again there is no wood or smoked malt flavors (thank you aging).
The mouthfeel is medium with medium to low carbonation (typical Dogfish carbonation for those of you familiar with the brewers' other offerings). Overall I thought this beer was good but I believe would have been better several months ago with more complex flavors; still good none-the-less.

First had: bottle from Pinocchio's beer garden, Media, PA
Very tasty! Poured thick, reddish-brown with a healthy off-white head. Pungent aroma; malts, caramel, wood, nuts, some sugar and light fruit. All those characteristics carried over into the taste, with a toasty quality, and slight banana bread flavors coming through later on. Medium-light mouthfeel, pretty smooth and nutty, and moderately drinkable. Tasted better after it breathed for a while.

Very nice and clean bronze color. Great nutty and sweet caramel aroma. Nice hop bite right upfront then it melds into a caramel like sweetness with a faint hint of bready/nutty character. Mild spicy notes. Could almost be complex though in a subtle way if that explains it-a nice balance between all that is going on. Finish melds slowly into a faint dryness. Nice mouthfeel-has a touch of sticky sweetness. Really a great beer. It has come a long way in the year since it's release. I was not overly impressed upon it's release but it has really come into it's own. At the abv (bottle says 6.3%) I would not wait much longer. Still very, very well done.

Thanks goes out to slvrmon82 for this awesome hook-up!
This pours a crystal clear, dark amber color. It has light highlights of both ruby and gold. A light and fluffy head of tan colored foam, about two-fingers worth, form and recedes. It leaves a small surface covering film.
Toasted malts. Good touch of smoke. Big nuttiness. Raisins. Nice hints of plantains/bananas. Very nice chocolate presence. Beef jerky.
The nose is quite complex. I can't wait to taste it.
Golden brown sugar hints. Lots of toasted malts. Touches of chocolate. Plantain/banana notes. Hints of lacto sweetness. Toasted nuttiness. Raisin/plum/grape notes. About midway through your palate, it brings out a smokiness that glides on through the finish and lingers for quite a while.
Just slightly less than full-bodied with an almost high level of carbonation. It's smooth enough, but lacks any real creaminess, which I think it would benefit from. The carbonation gives it a slightly sharp finish.
The smokiness would be just a bit too much to promote all night sessioning of this beer. With a couple 'in-betweeners' though, I think that I could polish off several bottles in a session.
Very tasty.

Bottle courtesy of TMoney2591, shared with Sammy and Steve. 25oz into a tulip.
Pours a dark amber, almost with a dark 'peachy' quality to it in the light; some mahogany highlights. Light tan head leaves a collar of head and mild lace. Nose is smoked wood, some raw plantain/banana peel type stuff and a general woodiness. Taste is smoke initially, almost rauchbier-like at times. Sweet, again with some notes of the plantain again, dry and some slight starch. More nuttiness, sweet woodiness. Good mouthfeel, relatively full and smokey throughout. Good drinkability, and an interesting concotion overall that was well executed.

Review from notes taken 2/23/11. Shared with wishuwerebeer.
750ml bottle I secured quite a while ago at the DFH rehoboth location. Poured into a couple of snifters, this brew appears a beautiful color of clear ruby copper. A finger of yellowish tan head appears and slowly recedes leaving a thin film of lacing across the top that edges its way towards the walls of the glass. A webbing of lacework clings to the glass. Closer inspection reveals some faint particulate floating through the body of the brew.
The aroma of this brew is smokey with a nutty scent of pecans. Somewhat reminiscent of bacon in a rauchbier sort of way. The smell of this brew overall is quite appealing and the pecans really come through with a unique enjoyable smell. My only gripe is while the smell of pecans and smoke is enjoyable, it stops there without much depth or other characteristics to take in.
The taste is lightly sweet with caramel malt flavoring and a bit of herbal bitterness before the smoked aspect comes in and overtakes and dominates the flavor profile. It lasts and lingers into the finish with a light tingle of alcohol that increases as the brew warms.
This is a medium to light bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. This is a well put together brew that is easy drinking. The unique smokey and nutty aroma transcends perfectly into the flavors of this brew but it kept me looking for just a bit more depth. Well balanced and not over the top, this is an easily approachable brew.
