Product Type: Intempo portable radios
Newest Review: ... very good with absolutely no hissing or crackling. However occasionally it will cut out for a minute or so (not sure why this happen... more
Excellent, stylish DAB radio
Intempo PG-01 DAB Digital Radio
Member Name: bluenosesquonk
Intempo PG-01 DAB Digital Radio
Date: 25/12/06
Advantages: Looks, Ease of use, features
Disadvantages: None I can think of
This was the first DAB radio that I bought and it turned out to be an excellent choice, and very good value for money - I'd recommend it to potential buyers.
If you are looking for a value for money stereo DAB radio that looks like it could give long service, this could be the one to buy.
Most of used have grown up listening to radio stations transmitted on three wavebands:
AM Transmissions
Short for Analogue Modulation (the method used for converting sound waves to radio signals in a format suitable for transmission).
AM radio signals are suitable for fairly long wave transmission, but suffer from fairly narrow bandwidth this presents itself to the listener as a sound that seems to lack the higher frequencies (treble) that you would get form playing a CD through your Hi Fi.
FM Transmissions
Short for Frequency Modulation (another method used for converting sound waves to radio signals in a format suitable for transmission).
FM radio signals employ a greater bandwidth presenting itself to the listener as an almost Hi Fi type sound quality.
However, FM signals usually suffer from a more localised transmission (still many 10s of miles) and require the use of a higher quality radio receiver (this is less of an issue nowadays due to miniaturisation and mass production of circuitry).
LW Transmissions
Short for Long Wave a bit more self-explanatory this time as the radio waves have a LONG wavelength (and relatively low frequency).
These signals are also AM (Amplitude Modulated) and have broadly the same properties as AM radio. The advantage is that these signals can often be transmitted over long distances.
All of the wavebands described above are analogue and susceptible to various types of interference, predominantly due to signals becoming distorted and attenuated in the process of being transmitted from radio masts to our homes.
Digital Radio
Digital signals suffer from distortion, however, as long as the distortion is not too great, they can be regenerated by the receiver producing a signal that is an exact copy of the original so no distortion.
DAB short for Digital Audio Broadcasting is the radio communitys answer to Digital Broadcasting and is proving to be a great success across Europe.
If you own a DAB radio, as long as you are in an area that is able to receive DAB transmissions, you will be able to receive distortion and interference free radio, including many stations that you may not be able to pick up on your traditional receiver.
Currently it is estimated that 85% of the UK population are able to receive DAB radio signals. However, the number and range of stations that can be picked up varies from location to location generally heavily populated areas will be served better. In my case I am able to receive 30 + stations.
Why did I choose this Manufacturer and Model ?
When I initially started looking around for a DAB radio, I was not familiar with some of the manufacturers names this included Intempo.
However, as I am a bit of an Anorak at times when looking at electronics specifications (Im not as bad as I used to be though Ive definitely gone past the snob stage), I took a little time to compare makes and models, whilst bearing in mind the price. In other words, I was looking for what I would consider best value for money.
On the shelf in the shop, the item looked OK and on further investigation had a reasonable spec, it was also in my price range. Once I was convinced that this was the one for me, I purchased it and took it home.
The item was well packaged in a reasonably attractive box, and more importantly nothing was damaged or missing.
The items dimensions are approximately:
Width 25cm
Height 19cm (including feet & carrying handle)
Depth 12cm (including tuning knob & aerial protrusion)
Weight Just under 1.7Kg
This means that its fairly compact and not to heavy to transport.
The case is predominantly polished wood (apparently its beech veneer) with a kind of brushed steel type fittings (Handle, Control panel, back panel) and polished metal controls, feet and aerial. This gives an overall attractive feel, and fits in very well with my bedroom décor.
When switched on, the relatively small (6cm x 2cm) display lights up with 2 lines of darkish blue characters on a light blue background. Characters are easy to read with excellent contrast.
The front panel has 6 sets of 2 push-buttons, one button above the other, these are, from left to right:
Memories 1 & 3
Memories 2 & 4
AT & Alarm
DAB/FM & Sleep
Select & Info
UP & Down (tuning)
The other controls consist of a round on/off button to the left of the push-buttons previously described and a rotary volume control in the middle of the front of the unit (mounted on the wooden panel between stereo speakers).
Control functions are described later in this report.
The PG-01 is mains powered via a separate AC DC Power adapter which is plugged into the rear panel.
The rear panel also has a stereo headphone socket that accepts a standard 3.5mm Jack plug.
In the form of a very glossy A5 booklet with 6 pages (12 sides) of text and copious black, white and grey illustrations.
The instructions are written in a very readable style that ,makes following them very easy and the illustrations are very good, clearly communicating the text.
The last two sections of the manual include a troubleshooting guide and a glossary of terms including a description of the DAB service.
~DAB/FM button~
The radio is both a DAB digital receiver and an FM receiver (I think that most, if not all models feature at least these two services).
~Memory buttons~
There are a total of 4 memories for storing favourite stations, one to each of the Memory keys. Like most radios this is easily done by pressing the desired memory button for 2 seconds whilst listening to the station to be stored.
~Info button~
This control scrolls through the options for the lower part of the LCD display, these options are:
+++ In DAB mode+++
+ Scrolling text (messages from the selected station)
+ Programme type (the style of music I dont know why this is needed)
+ Ensemble/Multiplex (collections of stations on the same frequency)
+ Signal Strength (how strong received signals are for each station)
+ Time & Date
+++In FM mode+++
+ Radiotext (Scrolling text (messages from the selected station)
+ Programme type (the style of music I dont know why this is needed)
+ Signal Strength (how strong received signals are for each station)
+ Time & Date
+ Frequency (as in traditional radios displayed the tuned frequency)
I tend to keep the display showing the scrolling text option, although, to be honest I rarely read it.
The Info button also allows the user to enter an advanced display mode offering information on the software version installed on the radio, and info on the audio mode i.e. if the received station is being received in mono or stereo. This is a function that Ive never needed to use and is probably more applicable to a service engineer repairing your radio.
~AT Button~
AT is the acronym for Auto Tune and is used for tuning in the radio (where required), particularly if you either use it in another area or if you want to look for new channels.
~Select button~ & ~Up / Down button~
The Select button is used to select the channel that you wish to listen to after you have scrolled through available channels using the Up / Down buttons.
~DAB / FM button~
Used to switch between DAB and FM radio modes.
~Alarm button~
Used to select the alarm clock mode in conjunction with the Up/Down buttons and the Select button. It is possible to select the alarm to sound either as the radio coming on or as a beeping sound (annoying).
~Sleep button~
Puts the alarm into snooze mode delaying the alarm for 7 minutes (a dangerous thing to do !).
The Sleep button can also be used to programme the radio to switch off after a time period entered by the user this is useful if you like to go to sleep to the sound of the radio.
On switching on the radio, it performs an auto-tune, finding stations that are strong enough to be received and stored. These are easily accessed by using the Up & Down buttons to scroll through the names of stations that have been found and stored.
Tuning is extremely easy in both DAB and FM modes as is selecting the station of choice. The display is clear enough, showing the station name and other selected information (see description above).
Reception of both DAB and FM signals are good, with most stations showing a mid to high signal strength and giving stable reception.
I have found the sound quality to be very good through the front panel mounted stereo speakers, and if decent earphones are used, they will also give good sound reproduction.
The handbook provided with the radio does not actually give any performance data so I cant comment on Frequency response, distortion etc. However, I can say that for my range of hearing the response was more than adequate, with quite reasonable Bass (even from fairly small speakers) and sharp treble with clear mid-range especially voice response.
The controls are not as clearly labelled as they could be, particularly in an area that is not brightly lit. However, they are well laid out, so once they have been used a few times their labelling becomes less of an issue.
The radio has a specified 2 x 5 Watt output from its speakers, which in my experience, results in plenty of output even when my wife is using her hairdryer it is still possible to turn up the volume enough to hear the transmission.
I quite like the overall design of the radio it is robust and well built with well laid out controls which have a nice feel with a positive action (in the case of the buttons) and smooth movement (in the case of the Volume control).
The PG-01 does not include an option to connect an external aerial, so
if you are in an area where reception is usually poor, this model may not suit you (you can check this by going to www.digitalradionow.com).
* Good quality sound
* Distortion & interference free reception
* Robust, attractive design with positive feel controls
* Easy to use and programme
* Glossy Instruction manual with clear descriptions and illustrations
* Good value for money for a DAB radio with 2 x 5W stereo outputs
An instruction manual for the PG-01 can be downloaded in pdf format from the following web address: http://www.intempo-digital.co.uk/products/pg01/pg0 1_userguide.pdf
A basic specification (more like a flier really) can be found at: http://www.intempo-digital.co.uk/products/pg01/pg0 1_spec.pdf
Summary: A quality product, well made and simple to use - value for money

Great spot kmander! I think you might be a bit surprised, though, how not-simple the simple seeming things can be sometimes, when you get right down to - and at scale. ;) Hmmm. Now these have been going out for at least a couple of years, I think (though not sure of the precise date...) Have you not been getting them? Does your email program perhaps filter them as spam? kea12345, you are right on the money in this case. (Hey, I think that is sort of a pun!) Thanks for the kind words, eWhisper. And thanks also for the brief notice below your post about my extended absence. As a coda, until the technical issues are fully sorted, I will not be able to post regularly - and unhappily predict no posts at all tomorrow. AWA
I can't believe I have spotted it first?! This is a great new feature and has been heavily demanded. I bet it was really simple to implement and I am suprised it took so long. I have also noticed that I get sent emails when payments bounce - this is fantastic! As with anything Google does, it is being rolled out to a select few first and is gradually being made available to all users. Glad to see Google continuing to improve on the basics (billing) as well as the advanced features (the new keyword tool seems to have been tweaked lately).

Posts tagged with Domestic Partners
City to consider covering domestic partners as part of city's health insurance plan; commissioners now qualify for city coverage, thanks to Obamacare
Lawrence city commissioners soon will get to weigh in on the issue of domestic partnerships versus traditional marriages.
After digging through a few more documents related to the city's proposed budget, I found a memo detailing changes to the city's health insurance plan. One recently implemented change and one proposed change caught my eye. The recently implemented change: City commissioners are now eligible to be on the city's health insurance plan. (More on that in a moment.) The proposed change: Staff members are recommending that domestic partners of city employees be eligible to join the city's health insurance plan, just as spouses of city employees are eligible.
Lori Carnahan, human resources manager for the city, said several city employees have been asking about the availability of a domestic partner benefit. The city recently conducted a survey of its employees, and of the 146 respondents, 30 percent said they would use the domestic partner benefit.
"It is an issue that my colleagues in the human resources industry have discussed the concept of for probably six to eight years," Carnahan said. "But the discussion really has been increasing over time."
Obviously there are several large, international private companies that offer domestic partnership benefits. But I'm not sure how many area governments have adopted the practice. Douglas County approved a similar health plan benefit for domestic partners in 2011.
As far as the logistics of this go, the city is well-positioned to deal with it. In May 2007, Lawrence became the first city in the state to create a domestic partnership registry. The registry allows domestic partners — both gay and heterosexual couples — to file paperwork with the city clerk's office that provides evidence they are living in a true domestic partnership. The registry then can be used by insurance companies to verify that a domestic partnership exists.
The city will use that registry to verify domestic partnerships involving city employees. The registry requires that partners share a common permanent residence, have agreed to be in a "relationship of mutual interdependence," both "contribute to the maintenance and support of the household," are not married to a third individual or are a member of a domestic partnership with a third individual, are 18 years or older, have the mental capacity to enter into a contract and are not related by blood in any way that would prevent a marriage in the state.
Carnahan said the city's insurance plan manager — the city is technically self-insured but hires a professional company to help manage the operation — has said the change is not expected to create any increased underwriting costs. The city will have to comply with a federal law that does not allow insurance premiums of domestic partners to be paid for with pre-tax dollars — married couples can have their premiums deducted from their paychecks before taxes. But Carnahan said the city has the necessary software to accomplish the task.
Now all that is left is to determine whether city commissioners have an interest in creating the new policy. Commissioners will get briefed on insurance issues at today's budget study session, which begins at 3:30 p.m. But commissioners don't take formal actions at study sessions, so I would expect the issue to come up at a future City Commission meeting.
Beginning June 1, city commissioners became eligible to enroll in the city's health insurance program. They have the Affordable Care Act — or Obamacare — partially to thank for that.
City commissioners previously had not been eligible for the health care benefit because they are not considered full-time city employees. But the Affordable Care Act mandates that large employers generally offer health insurance to employees who average 30 hours per week for a year.
Do city commissioners work 30 hours per week? Well, that's tough to say because city commissioners don't punch a time clock.
Carnahan said her staff decided that making city commissioners eligible for the health care benefit would be the safest way to ensure the city was in compliance with the new federal law.
It is unclear how many commissioners may take advantage of the new benefit, but it is a significant benefit.
If a city commissioner wanted to insure just himself, it would cost only $5 per pay period — or $130 per year — to be covered under the city's plan, which is considered to be a good one. That's the same rate all city employees pay for single coverage.
Commissioners also can choose to have their families and spouses covered under the plan. Those rates — which are the same for all city employees — range from $69 a pay period to $118 per pay period, depending on the type of coverage.
City commissioners currently receive a $9,000 per year salary, while the mayor receives a $10,000 per year salary. However, commissioners in April said they wanted to have a discussion about possibly raising those salary levels.

FOX commentators John Lynch (left) and the seductive Ron Pitts (right).
FOX Sports commentator John Lynch will be very familiar with the two teams playing in the game he will be calling on Sunday.
Lynch will be the color commentator for Denver's Week 13 match-up against Tampa Bay, joined by play-by-play partner Dick Stockton. The game, scheduled to kickoff at 2:05 p.m. MT, will mark the first time Lynch has called a game featuring two teams he has played for.
Drafted by the Buccaneers in the third round of the 1993 NFL Draft, Lynch went on to spend ten seasons in Tampa, helping the Bucs to win a Super Bowl (XXXVII) while earning six Pro Bowl selections (1997, '99, '00, '01, '02).
Following the 2003 season, the Bucs let Lynch walk in free agency due to their salary cap situation. Lynch was courted by the Patriots but ultimately signed in Denver, where he would finish his career.
During his four years with the Broncos, Lynch was voted to four Pro Bowls ('04, '05, '06, '07) and led a...

At an age when it maybe termed uncool in Bollywood's contemporary musical lexicon, Sanjay Leela Bhansali continues to embrace the traditional Hindi film music melodies as he does with 'Ang laga de and Dhoop'.
The next, 'Laal ishq', emanates the kind of purity we had heard in Guzaarish's 'Tera zikr hai' "" the interlude is very similar to Saawariya's 'Mashallah.' Possibly this is the best song of the album " Arijit Singh is making it a habit to get the best tunes.
One of the perks of a Bhansali soundtrack is getting to hear Shail Hada's voice. Hada, who had sung Saawariya title sings 'Poore chand,' a song bathed in the kind of luminosity typical of Bhansali's deep, dark haunting melodies, with full-throttled clarity, poise and range.
Where a couple of songs " 'Ishqyaun dhishqyaun, Mor bani thangat kare' and 'Lahu munh lag gaya' suffer from is unimaginative arrangement.
It's too close to the authentic garba/ dandiya orchestra for its own good; and something like Amit Trivedi's contemporary twists done in Kai Po Che's Shubhaarambh would have done wonders.
Comparisons with 'Dhol baaje' from 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' are inevitable, and 'Nagada sang dhol' does sound similar in parts.
'Ram chahe Leela', is the contemporary song of the album, that has words like 'dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam.' Sung by Bhoomi Trivedi, it is a racy number that is possibly the supposed item song to be featured on a top female star.
'Tattad tattad' mostly takes shape around its infectious hookline, and does little with the rest.
Aditya Narayan does all the right things but ends up sounding like Udit Narayan Junior.
Much like his last film and his first outing as a music director 'Guzaarish,' Ram Leela is the kind of an album that lingers on.
Bhansali's old-world semi-classical flourishes and his knack of melody makes it refreshing in the horrible, trashy music we have been subjected to in the name of old Bollywood in 'Krrish' and 'Besharam' in the recent past.
Composers: Sanjay Leela Bhansali

"Jaacob's work is great. It's pretty straight forward. There are no magical tricks and it doesn't mess with your golf swing. If you follow his advices, you will drive it further."
Pablo Martin, 3-Time European Tour Winner, Increased Max Swing Speed from 119 mph to 128 mph
"Working with Jaacob's swing speed training programs I increased my speed by 12 miles per hour in one month. The game is a lot more fun with the driving distances I'm hitting them. Now I'm reaching greens in two more often. Swing speed training really works."
Gary S, Premier Member
"When I first started the swing speed training I was very skeptical it would do anything for me because I was already swinging at speeds close to 130 mph. But I wanted to get to the next level and be able to compete in Long Drive Events. So I gave it a try. I gained 13 mph in just one month of the basic swing speed training."
24 Years Old, Premier Member
Hello fellow golf enthusiast,
My name is Jaacob Bowden, and I have something that I just have to get off my chest and it's the real reason that I:
I'm Going To Spill The Beans And Allow You Access To The Mysterious 1% Change That Will Give You 99% of The Results You've Been Searching For All This Time
Are You Ready......
Swing speed is the one thing you can improve upon the fastest regardless of age and it doesn't even matter whether you're athletic or not.
When You hear all the world's top golfers talk about something all the time you know it has to be something important.
Well, some call it club speed and some call it swing speed, but as everyone knows it's a super hot topic amongst the Pro's!
Your chart below shows you exactly why all of the best guys are always wanting more swing speed. This graphic shows how fast people swing and what the average carry distance (how far the ball flies before it first touches the ground) is:
Now let's take a look at some super interesting and specific numbers.
And: Despite what many teaching Pro's, and even Tiger believe, yes, you can actually discover the technique that will increase your swing speed easily at any age!
No, absolutely not. Just look at Camilo Villegas and John Daly. Camilo is one of the fittest players on tour. John is, well, not, but he still outdrives Camilo by a solid 4 mph.
"Dear Mr. Bowden, I have purchased your program and after only two weeks. I am 65 years old and before starting your program my average speed was between 85 and 88. I am now averaging 88 to 91 ....But..I have recorded one swing at 99 mph and the ball was out or sight.....WOW. I have recorded 4 drives on the course of 260 to 280....yes I said 280. It was a feat but my buddies are already talking about making me tee off the blue tees."
Bob L, 65 years old
"The video on ... is the most effective instruction I've ever had!! I'm 72 y/o and have never known my swing until now. I used to shoot low, now and then,but quit for 15 yrs. Last year I started again and could not break 95 until this very informative video. Now, I'm scoring in the low 80's or better from the intermediate tees.(I also have had back surgery for spinal stenosis) Thanks for a great lesson."
Wilbur H, 72 years old
"I have been into your teaching for a about 5 weeks have gained 30 yards... I am in my 60s."
Stanley T, 62 years old
On average, all my students constantly add 12-16 mph of driver swing speed and 30-40 yards to their drives in their first month in just 10 minutes twice per week. Yes, those are fast results, but those are just the averages.
Quite a few people, like one gentleman who is over 58 years old actually gained over 30 mph, which translates to an astounding 75 yards in greater distance!
I could go on and on and tell you about more of the thousands of long driving customers from around the globe that have already achieved these gains in distance with little to no work on their part at all.
The Answer is...
Absolutely not. The Swingman Golf Training System consist merely of a few very subtle changes in technique, where you simply make small adjustments to your warm up and training. All stuff that you can easily do in 10 minutes only twice a week.
It sometimes feels like the golfing community is the very last bastion of real gentlemen, a secret brotherhood where politeness, honor and effort still really mean something, classic, even a bit old fashioned, but in the best possible way.
I really like that about our beloved game, and in keeping with that high standard, and after more than 5,500 satisfied customers, I am so confident in my system, that I am giving you a whole bunch of guarantees:
And, When You Enroll By Friday, March 14th 2014 You Get The Following 3 Special Bonuses Absolutely Free!
As Soon As You Gain Your Instant Access You'll Start Loving Your Long Ball Shot's More Than Mere Words Can Even Describe.

Bought a case from Beers of the World on 12/7/13.
Poured from a bottle served into a Nonic, served at cellar temp.
Appearance: Tawny Port with a three finger pecan shortbread head. Nice lacing.
Aroma: Orchard fruit; Peaches, sweet caramel.
Mouthfeel: solid, full.
Taste: Plums and peaches, accent the cocoa tinged maltiness. There is some restrained citrus bitterness for balance.
Notes: The 8.3% abv is totally hidden. This beer is an all around gem; good looking, nice aroma, great taste.

3.64/5 rDev +1.7%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Poured into a pint glass.
A- Pours a very dark brown with about a half finger of head that dissipates quickly. Not many bubbles coming to the surface. Some lacing but not much. Looks decent enough.
S- A pleasant nuttiness dominates, with some caramel and toffee there as well. Perhaps a bit of spice. Not as pungent as I expected it to be, but decent nonetheless.
T- Surprisingly complex. The nose does it no justice, as I got a lot character. Big malt along with a roasted nuttiness. The caramel and toffee are a bit more aggressive, and it's a good thing. Definitely more spice as well, and just a bit of hop bitterness. You even get a bit of alcohol warmth. Surprising that it doesn't seem as big as it's 8.30%/ABV would suggest. Really nice.
M- Very light-bodied and drinkable. For my taste it's too watery, but it is appropriately carbonated. I'm sure there are many out there that would appreciate it's lighter mouthfeel.
O- A great-tasting beer that is seriously let down by it's other characteristics. Just above average in everything else, and that's really too bad. This has the taste of a real classic. Perhaps I just got unlucky with a bad bottle, but it's still definitely worth trying and I will revisit this one if Goose Island puts it out again.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
The aroma on this one is mild, but a bit off. It hints at the toffee sweetness to come, but there's also a muddy off note.
On the palate, there is some barleywine-like sweetness and flavors, but toned down. Toffee and touches of cherry and raisin. Pretty firm hopping lends a cool veneer. But flavors are generally a bit muddy and muted, and even somewhat watery. It's certainly sweet up front, but dries out a bit too quickly, betraying its booze.
Overall, it's a pretty good beer for the category and price point, but nothing I'd seek out again.

audible head calms down quickly, retreats to just a film with higher peaks on the diameter, medium brown mud with carbonation gurgling up, nothing great, nothing bad
spicy in a ginger bread kind of way, sweet fruitcake, apple pie, nutmeg-y
taste etc...
medium mouthfeel with just slightly prickly carbonation, definitely sweet, like sugar, with a hint of bitters in the linger, drinks like the nose with appropriate seasonal flavors, nothing over bearing here just a pretty straight forward holiday ale
tasty but nothing special, good mouthfeel and good masking of the ABV, a little too sweet for me personally

Sampling right now on 2/26/14. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a classic pilsner flute glass.
Pours a hazy dark brown in color with a thick 1-finger beige head that stays around for a while. Lots of sticky lacing is seen with each sip. The aroma is of malts, spice and coffee. The taste is about the same with some caramel malts coming through as well as followed up by a little orange zest. No harsh or bitter aftertaste at all. A better seasonal brown ale and great for the colder months.

S: Too faint. but there's coffee, spice, cream, malt, caramel. 3.5
T: Follows the smell but big: Orange zest, Malt caramel front, followed by spice, coffee, cola, root beer, sarsaparilla, brown bread, apples, yet a warming, drying long back finish. 4
MF: A weighty rich feel, very satisfying. Great feel. 4.25
O: Good Island is putting out lovely original, strong ales, and this is one to try. Oddly festive, last one of the evening, an after dinner beer. 3.75

12oz Bottle from the Wegmans Dewitt NY for $2
Appearance - Hazy brown colour with a good size frothy beige coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some really good lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, dark fruits, butterscotch, herbal notes
Taste & Mouth - There is a below average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, butterscotchl, and raisins. There is also some anise/herbal notes and a a touch of chocolate.
Overall - A nice winter warmer, a little like a scotch ale. I'd buy this again next holiday season.

I picked this bottle up back in December for $1.59 a single at my local store, thinking to myself "wow, a christmas themed hearty brown ale." I wanted to like this beer, because I usually like brown ales, despite them being a rarely well represented genre of beer. I noticed it was quite packing at 8.3% ABV, which scared me because I wasn't quite sure how that would work out since the brown ale style often doesn't lend well to big ABV.
The logistics: 12oz bottle poured into a snifter, aged in a 65 degree pantry for 2 months, store in the fridge 5 hours before serving.
Aroma and appearance: The beer had a pretty nice aroma. It was malty, had a small hint of spices, a twinge of muted hops, and some toffee. It poured a dark brown with a small, unimpressive head. The beer didn't exhibit too much character looks wise, but wasn't disappointing.
Mouthfeel and taste: This is where the beer really took a hit for me. My suspicions were confirmed, the beer was way too boozy as it warmed. The body was too light to uphold the huge ABV, the flavors became almost a secondary factor to the booze. I really had a hard time finishing, not because I don't enjoy high ABV beer (4th Dimentia and BCBS are amongst my favorites), but because the other flavors were not standing out.
Overall: A big disappointment. I finished it, but due to the booziness, I probably will not return since the other flavors did not impress me whatsoever. This occurs often in brown ales, where the flavors are quite subtle. Due to that, a higher ABV needs to be compensated by either a higher dosage of flavors, or a nice last minute throw in of dry hops (like the absolutely delicious Good Humans from Short's, another winter seasonal brown with 8.3% ABV). Too boring and one dimensional for me, but not the worst beer you'll ever try.
Until next time!

Nice try Sixth Day as you almost slipped away from me this past Christmas. Luckily, I just found the notes on this from January 2, 2014 only today.
Bottled on date: 10SEP13
Into a mug:
A: somewhat light brown colored body with a one finger white foamy head that left some nice adequate lacing clinging nicely in rings around the glass
S: nutty with some bready maltiness
T: sweet through a combination of nuts, bready malts and cinnamon; sticky nutty aftertaste; dry nutty finish
M: medium in body but comes across somewhat sessionable and went well with New Year's Day leftovers, carbonation is good for the style and for me as there's a decent amount of harshness hitting the tongue and mouth but it isn't anything that degrades from a Christmas Brown Ale
O: good Brown Ale that I would have again next Christmas

Poured from a bottle with a hazy brown color and a short lasting white foam head. Has a sweet caramel aroma. The flavor is a nice blend of sweet caramel and some malts. Has very little carbonation, but a nice medium body mouthfeel. Another solid offering from Goose Island.

Shutdown Messes With Government Workers' Finances
Correction Oct. 10, 2013
We incorrectly identify Lindy Lurie as a federal employee. Lurie works for the state of Massachusetts, but her income is dependent on federal funding.
Communities across the nation are feeling the impact of the partial government shutdown. To learn more, Renee Montagne and Steve Inskeep turn to Americans from all corners of the country to hear how they're coping with a closed government.

OK. The timing of the partial government shutdown has pushed one federal employee to the brink. Lindy Lurie processes disability claims for people in Massachusetts. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: Lurie works for the state of Massachusetts, but her income is dependent on federal funding.]
She and her husband are expecting their first child. They used most of their savings to buy a house outside Boston and closed on that house the day before the shutdown.
LINDY LURIE: That just kind of says it all, right? I mean, you know, when you have dreams, hopes and wishes of starting your family, and the thought of not being able to clothe and feed and house them because politicians in Washington can't make compromises is really disheartening, very upsetting and very frightening.
INSKEEP: Lindy Lurie is an essential employee, so she is still working - just not getting paid.
LURIE: Through my job I get amazing benefits - health insurance and otherwise - and one of those benefits is a short-term disability policy that covers maternity leave. I think that I can take up to four months. So really applying for another job when I'm six months pregnant doesn't seem like a good solution to me. A better solution would be for the government to come to an agreement.
MONTAGNE: That's Lindy Lurie, an essential federal employee from Boston.
