Poured into a 16 snifter, bottled 1/23/13. Pours as black as can be, with a beautiful one inch mocha head, that takes its time settling into a layer of thick foam, and coats the glass with lacing. Smell is licorice, roasted coffee, leather, pipe tobacco, and oaky vanilla. Taste is so complex all the flavors from the nose are exposed, some dark chocolate and hints of bourbon come out also. Body is big, perfect amount of carbonation, not as dry as you would expect, and for its heft dangerously drinkable. Yes I loved this beer, welcome to N. H Uinta! They make awesome beer. If you are looking for a Bourbon bomb go else where. If you want a crazy complex imperial stout, this is one. Don't let the fact that is brewed with licorice sticks scare you off, that is a small part of this treasure of a beer.

This is a great beer! It has the makings of a premier BA stout(although they call it a black ale) but lacks the depth and thickness of a kbs or black note. Labyrinth could use more coffee notes. Overall very smooth and easy to drink even at 13% abv. Definitely try this if you are into BA stouts. Cheers!

Found a 2010 vintage and thought it would be worth a try.
Poured into cigar city snifter.
Appearence: Dark like a blind man in a maze. Pours used motor oil thick. The head was quite thin and yet still present, a clear sign of high abv and sugar content. Lacing is clumps of slow moving, sticky, white foam.
Smell: As the tight cork gave way with a satisfying snap a tight curl of aged vapor came sneeking out. It reeked of dark leather and aged tobacco mixed with burnt molasses , chocolate, and a hint of anise. The age was very present and promising.
Taste: Wow. The age has done wonders for this receipe! The anise forward has been balanced by the smokey leather flavor the years have gifted the bottle. All the other usual palate pleasers are still existant. The prunes and plums play on the middle palate and the burnt sugars, chocolate, and molasses give way to a wiskey style burn amplified by the slight residual anise.
Mouthfeel: Initially, surprisingly thinner than expected. Following that observation my saliva glands activated, thanks to the spices, and it felt much thicker. Very palatible and able to take time to savor all the notes without one being overwhelming.
Overall: On age, one of the best bottled brews on the shelf. If you like well balanced aged stouts this is a must try. Very unique in a pleasant way. Interested to experience the years in between to see the progression.

Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer pours like motor oil, both thick and black. Completely opaque, with a tall, frothy, dense, light tan head of a solid two inches. Aromas of roast and burning wood, molasses sweetness, booze character, and licorice. Smells rich and complex. Flavors are rich and warming, with a darkly sweet and rich molasses backbone, bittersweet chocolate highlights, and a subtle roast character highlighting. Very layered and dynamic. Well balanced. Decent lacing as you drink, and the beer has a creamy, smooth, rich body. Aftertaste is bitter and roasted, with a slight molasses linger. Very tasty. The finish is slick and lingering, with a bittersweet twist left behind. Great sipper. Well done brew.

From the 750 ml. bottle bottled on 1-13-13. Sampled on April 12, 2013.
Oh my! The short version is this is something else.
It pours black as night with a long lasting, moderate fluffy mocha head.
The aromas carry the characteristics of mildly sweet dark malts, yeast, licorice, and exotic oil for lack of a better description. Short version - this smells great.
The body is bold but smooth.
Up front the taste brings out some the elements of the nose such as dark sweet malts and licorice but with a slightly dry finish and low bitterness. Some people like smoke in their Porters but this one does not need it. I enjoyed this immensely and would have it again.

750ml bottle into a tulip.
A: Pours a pitch black color with an impressive thickness. The head is a three finger tan shade. Given its strength, I'm quite impressed with the retention of the head.
S: The nose features licorice, chocolate, vanilla, mocha coffee, and a bit of roasted barley. Rock solid, but could have used more barrel influence.
T: The opening sweetness is moderately high, with a strong chocolate/vanilla character. Some coffee and licorice notes gradually build near the finish to counteract the (strong) sugary tones. It makes for a great dessert stout, only lacking in barrel character.
M: Thick, creamy, rich, decadent...every trait I look for in an imperial stout. The booze is superbly hidden, as well. Only thing I can nitpick is the slightly-too-high finishing astringency.
O: Subjectively, I don't really like the licorice-forward tendencies this offers...but I can't deny this is a very well-made product loaded with sophistication and finesse. Still, it could have been a genuine BCBS killer if it featured stronger oak qualities.

Pours a dark-brown colour. Seriously, we need a scale to measure the darkness of beers like this. But this is up there in darkness, yet light gives a glimmer of brown. Head is ochre, just deliciously dense and retaining as stubbornly as opponents of gay marriage. Lace is amazing. This beer looks amazing.
Smell is quite delectable as well. Dark and roasty backbone but a hell of a lot of sweet booziness. Bourbony coconut notes, peanut and vanilla on there with a chocolatey, nutmeg edge to it. Hint of licorice and pepper as well. Good spicy dark notes but the sweet complexities overlying are just wonderful.
Taste is very pleasant, with dark notes that aren't quite as roasty as I'd like, kind of lightly toasted rye bread on there with dark caramel. Then big booziness comes to the fore, with vanilla pods and coconut and a fair sticky rye note, with a nutty edge like pecans for a hint of bitterness. Slightly buttery on the back. It's all very nice flavours but I feel like it's a bit straight-lace ultimately, and doesn't quite ram the flavour home in the way it could. It's like it's a bit afraid of its own strength.
Full and a bit bitey. Good body, but from the front to the back I get that sense of booze, which is unfortunate, but it's not hot enough to really mar it.
Good brew, lots to like. I feel maybe some more roasty bitterness would absolutely run this one up the flagpole for me. Still a great drop though.

1 pt 9.4 fl oz corked and caged brown glass bottle (bottled 1/24/12)served in a snifter, reviewed live:
A - Pours an opaque jet black color with four fingers of thick, creamy chocolate colored head. Retention is amazingly good at over 13% alcohol and there's sticky cream lacing when it finally recedes. Impressive.
S - Sweet rich chocolates, light toasty oak, cream, faint coffee, and sweet licorice. Caramel and toffee throughout. Restrained roasted malt. Prune and currant. On the sweet end. I get no alcohol on the nose. A touch of vanilla. Moderate strength.
T - The licorice is a dominate note. I wish it were more restrained. Light creamy milk chocolate and roasted malts buried under the heavy licorice. Bitter coffee towards the end. Underwhelming oak. A touch of alcohol warmth on the finish, but the ABV is remarkably well hidden. Surprisingly mild.
M - Full bodied, thick and smooth.
D - Incredible drinkability. Suffers a little bit from some flavors (oak, roast) being a bit too restrained. Could be great with a little work.

Bottle dated 11/08/12, only 4 months old this go-around.
A: Pitch black pour. Big, dense, thick dark brown head. Wonderful legs. Great head retention but only minimal, spotty lacing. Oddly enough, not as good as the "bad" old bottle.
S: Big bourbon notes. Lots of burnt sugar, caramel, toffee and even brown sugar. Hints of oaky vanilla. Heavy roasted malt hides underneath, just barely poking through with some heavy chocolate and char. Even a little coffee.
T: Again, big bourbon but not as strong as the aroma. Caramel, burnt sugar (like burnt marshmallows in fact) and a little toffee. Then enormous and sweet roasted malt. Heavy sweet chocolate abound. Hints of char and coffee but the chocolate is the big one here. Lots of anise, particularly in the finish. Not in a bad way like a belgo-anise Stone IRS but instead it nicely compliments the huge sweetness with some bitter notes. A little bit of char in the finish. Lingering bourbon and oak notes in the aftertaste.
M: Thick, heavy, viscous.
O: A great bourbon barrel stout. Hugely sweet, almost a little much at times but what do you expect from a 13.2% imperial stout? Big anise notes, definitely a must-try for the black licorice lovers. Great big, complex and bold stout. Very nice.
Old review from a 2/2013
Bottle dated 03/31/10, almost 3 years old. I'm guessing the 13.2% ABV can take it.
A: Pitch black pour with one of the thickest, densest dark brown heads I've seen. Big foam. Decent fluffy lines of lacing left behind. Great head retention. (4.25)
S: Big fruit notes. Dark fruits, sherry-like (uh oh?). A bit of whiskey but just a touch. Some roasted malt character hiding underneath but hard to discern - mainly smoke and char. (3)
T: Whiskey and dark fruits up front but then devolves into a harsh sherry in the middle. Finish is stale cardboard (what does fresh cardboard taste like anyway?) and prunes. Oxidized, nasty. (2)
M: Heavy, motor oil thick. (4.25)
O: Shame, guess 3 years was way too much for this beer. Lots of oxidization covers all of the flavors. It shows potential but I will have to seek out a fresh bottle and re-review this one. (2)

Crooked Line Series. "Labyrinth Black Ale." "Ale brewed with licorice sticks and aged in oak barrels." 13.2% ABV confirmed. Bottled 09/19/12. 750ml brown glass bottle with hood and wire cap (also called a cage) over a cork acquired at a local SoCal store and served into a conical Samuel Smith's pint glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Cost was $14.00. Expectations are very high; my good friend blakelive784 told me this stuff was tasty.
Served chilled and allowed to come to room temperature over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
Paired with Swiss chocolate.
A: Pours an absolutely beautiful rich cacao tan colour head of fantastic cream, magnificent thickness, and ridiculously good (10+ minute) retention for the high ABV. Damn; that's impressive. Head isn't as vibrant or gold as the best examples of the style I've had, but it's still damned impressive. Body colour is anontransparent opaque solid jet black. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Light lacing as the head slowly recedes. How they get that good a retention at this high an ABV? Marvelous.
Sm: Chocolate, marshmallow, chocolate malt, dark malts, light coffee, anise/licorice/fennel, and very light buried oak; I wouldn't know it was rye/barrel aged just from the aroma if you gave it to me blind. Cream. Caramel. Light vine and buried fruit. Maybe hazelnut? Light hop presence - but it's still more noticeable than it is in most imperial stouts I've had. Hop character is generic floral. Grainy and appealing. Chocolate is the most forward note, but there's a lot going on here. I'm excited to try it. A surprisingly mild aroma. I don't get any yeast or alcohol off the aroma. Prune/dates? Some kind of dark or stone fruit; it isn't plum. A dash of vanilla; I guess that could be from the rye? It's appealing, if timid. It doesn't bring the bold complexity I look for in great examples of the style, but it's solid all around.
T: Nice milk chocolate. Chocolate malt. Dark malts. Light caramel. Cream. Decent roast. A light trace of coffee; it's certainly not a coffee heavy imperial stout. Vanilla. Malty sweetness is more prominent than I'd like, but it's not sickeningly sweet or cloying by any means - just a bit overdone, limiting drinkability. Alcohol is well disguised here. The licorice is there, but it kind of bothers me actually. It doesn't add a lot to the beer and seems to disrupt the balance. Minimal hop presence with generic floral character. I do get a touch of alcohol presence in the third act and finish. The balance isn't ideal, but it's pretty well done all around. It lacks the astounding complexity and depth of other better examples of the style, but I do like it. I want more roast from it. Also, the oak/rye whiskey is quite timid; I wish that came through more. Where's the delightful toasted oak I want in a great imperial stout?
Mf: Silky smooth and creamy up front, but it gives way to a coarser dryer texture that doesn't do it any favors. I wish it were smooth and creamy througout; it's a bit uneven. Carbonation is good if a biteen high. Good presence on the palate. Nicely soft.
Dr: I hate the bottle format; I'd like to see imperial stouts like this one move to a smaller bottle; finishing this alone is a tall order. It's a sipper; the alcohol does come through. But it's a pleasant sipper and I wouldn't dare call it hard to drink. It's just hard to drink quickly. I think my personal aversion to licorice may be bringing my opinion of this one down, but it's certainly not without other flaws. A good offering from Uinta, but there are better beers in the style and at or below this price point. (Not that price affects my reviews). For my money, I'd sooner grab Speedway Stout for $10.49, but I'm glad I tried this.

Reccamended by a fellow BA enjoyed at a great beer bar in park city. The beer pors very dark. I honestly cant really tell the difference between this and a imperial stout except that hops are negligable here. Hides the alcohol extremely well at over 13%. Very smooth, tastes of chocolate, carmel. Very complex flavors show the beer was aged and overall a great beer.

2012 bottling (can't make out the month on the label). 750ml corked & caged format served in my KTG snifter. A vigorous pour down the center of the glass reveals a color one shade shy of black with a dense, one-inch mocha-colored head. Head eventually settles into a solid, 1/8th inch skim with swaths of lacing evident after each tilt. Nose expresses roast, a vinous quality and cocoa nibs. Taste consistent with nose; however, much richer and bolder than suggested by the flavor profile. The vinous dark fruit nicely breaks up the rich malt and chocolate I have to say. There's also a little bit of oxidation that lingers at the finish. Mouthfeel is medium in body, with a pleasant, even carbonation and a light oiliness to the texture. This is a fantastic example of the style and a regular release to boot. I can't believe I waited this long to try this. Very reasonable at $11.99. Alcohol is dangerously well-hidden as well. If you like big stouts and haven't tried this one, you should.

Poured from a bottle. Purchased in Park City, Utah. Bottled 11/8/12.
A: Pours motor oil black. Thick pour, with no head at first. After a few quick seconds, a thick, fluffy, dark tan head billows up and builds up really quickly - like a volcanic eruption. Head sticks around for several minutes and eventually settles into a nice 1/2 finger ring. Leaves a nice lacing.
S: Strong oaky nose. Chocolate. Mocha coffee, vanilla, and some sort of fruits - definitely the licorice.
T: More chocolate than anything else. The oakiness almost comes off as bourbon tasting. Pretty high bitter taste - probably from chocolate. Licorice taste comes out very sweet.
M: Moderate carbonation. Full body. Sweet and creamy.
O: Pleasant little surprise after a great day of hitting the slopes. Shared and enjoyed with my Brother, Jeff. Great balance of oak and sweetness. Not super malty but a great level of complexity.

I picked this up at Giant, enjoyed chilled in a cervoise and tulip and allowed to gradually warm to cellar temp.
The color is piano black with no light passing through the liquid, very dense rich look with thick tan cap like espresso crema just lays and holds for a while with ultra fine bead. The smell is a blend of dark malty scents with a fruity raisin-like yeast ester mixed with a complimentary pine and slight citrus hop note there is slight cocoa with a mild coffee-like tinge but generally rich and brownie batter with dark sugar's molasses hint in there.
The mouthfeel is great the roasted quality stands out but is not too sharp with a sweetness that is not cloying from the malt body. There is a full feel yet balanced without an exceptionally high bitterness and subtle grain astringency with mild alcohol for the abv.
The taste is lush with prune and pepper with cocoa mixed with roasted coffee and the brownie batter sweetness with some light pine hoppiness which comes forward more as it warms with light tinge of vanilla smoothness in the middle. I get a mild citrus note from the hops too but it blends well with the dark malt flavors and is a nice contrast to the dark caramel element which is the core of this stout. Overall a pretty remarkable ale - a little on the sweet side, but that is okay for this style and welcomed actually. I think this is a truly great beer and it is a stealth stout in the way that it seems much smaller in abv than 13%!

Here's one that deserves more conversation! Pours deep ebony with mocha head. There's NONE more black! As advertised; a Black ale indeed... On the nose black licorace fades into cinnamon, notes of figs, vanilla and leather. The dark chocolate taste disolves into candied dates but the alcohol isn't evidenced anywhere... There's a syrupy heaviness to the body that warns you to take this slow allthough the alcohol is nowhere to be found. Bottled in August of this year...

Dark brown with a mocha thin head. Syrupy texture that clings.
Aromas of bourbon, coffee grounds, herbal hop, licorice, toasted marshmellow and a smokiness.
Taste dark roasty malts, bittersweet oak, vanilla, dark cocoa and some smoky haze. Alcohol for sure but not distracting.
Full bodied and roasty.
Better sipped at cool temps. Wish this sold in smaller options. Big brew for one person. Nice to sip and share with some great BAs. This is my second Uinta and I am liking these guys. Look forward to their other offerings.

On-tap 2/7/2013 at Julian's in Providence, RI, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a deep black color, with a large beige head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is faint but contains roasted malts, licorice, chocolate, coffee and some fruit.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of chocolate, dark fruit and licorice. Then a hearty roasted malt character comes in along with some oak essence in the background. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and provides a good balance. The after-taste is sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium-to-heavy body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down dangerously easy, not too filling, deceptively strong kick, good representation of style, this is a very good big stout to drink for a long time.

750 ml bottle poured into a Founders tulip.
Appearance: Jet black with a thin dark brown head.
Smell: Bourbon and dark fruits lead off the nose with cocoa, licorice, oak and vanilla close behind. Definitely not as in-your-face as, say a BCBS, but very complex and still extremely balanced.
Taste: Awesome. Similar profile to the aroma, but seems a little more intense. Bourbon, oak, and rich dark chocolate lead the way followed up by dark fruits and licorice. Bittering hops kick in to provide a bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Nice and thick, smooth, appropriately low carbonation. Bittering hops on the finish dry the palate leaving you craving another sip.
Overall: Really a great beer. I feel like this doesn't get the attention it deserves (which may have something to do with it being labeled as a black ale as opposed to a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout). It's better than a lot of BBA stouts that get a whole lot more hype. Great balance and flavor complexity.

this is up there with any of the top stouts on this site, wow is it something. way bigger than I expected, as its simply labeled a black ale, perhaps the largest understatement in recent beer history! it pours jet black, radiant with an obsidian shine and not a ray of light passing through. the head is tall and coffee brown, light and airy in texture, and with 100% retention. I almost never give 5s for anything, but this beer could not look any more appealing! the nose is surprisingly not too boozy, which I thought it would be at over 13% abv. its got a ton of dark roasted barley and burnt sugar bitterness, as well as a spicy oak character from the rye barrels. I taste tobacco, unsweetened vanilla, heavily used oak, whiskey, black malt, dark chocolate, and licorice! lots of licorice in fact, bitey and potent, somehow raw and unrefined. this is a beer of great complexity. the feel too is fantastic, huge body but also excellent carbonation. I hate to call it drinkable, but my girlfriend wouldn't help me with this one after I opened it, so I did put away a whole bottle of this on my own. I paid for it with a hangover, but this beer was unforgettable. highly recommended!

I really liked this beer at tastings, and bought a few bottles, but never got around to drinking it, weird. Bottled on 03/31/10.
An aggressive pour yields a decent looking dark cocoa colored creamy rich 1/2 finger head, fades at a med pace with some decent lacing too, not bad for a 13% beer, thick legs on teh sides of the glass as well, over a pitch black beer, no light coming from that puppy.
Nose brings plenty of big dark malts, black malt right off the bat as well as roasted malt, a roast that seems like it would have been over powering fresh, but has some nice softness with almost 3 years on it. Big fluffy nougat like aroma, with some candy, caramel, etc, and some dark chocolate coming through. That all brings a light booze aroma too, and some slight earthy hops. Oak is in the background, just a touch of vanilla and light toasty barrel like. A big dark nose for a big dark beer.
Taste starts with big malts again, some black malt, and roast again, but as expected not overpowering burnt roast as the age seems to have really softened it. Chewy malts, the roast brings a light burnt coffee grinds though, with a bitter black malt flavor and some tannins from all that even. Fluffy nougat in the middle again, candy like too, but not a lot of sweetness, touch of caramel and light cocoa and biscuity cocoa pebbles like. The chocolate is there but not big chocolate, more like a touch of baker's chocolate and the chocolate cereal flavors. Bitterness comes a bit from the roasty malts, as well as light earthy hops in the background. The barrel is practically an after thought, as it infuses a hint of vanilla, although a light dusty wood shelf comes out a little as it warms. Booze is there, with a light booze taste and plenty of warmth, touch of tingle, but not nearly 13%. Chewy creamy almost oats like, fairly thick and lush. Finish is semi sweet still, mouth coating, light tingly booze lingering as it coats the mouth, lingering dark malts, hint cocoa and cereal again, light roast and black malt all lingering.
Mouth is thick and rich, slightly creamy but full bodied, lighter but decent carb, plenty of warming slight tingly booze.
Overall a big beer, great. Not sure why they call it a black ale, as yes it's black but it's not what you'd expect for a black ale which is typically referring to black IPA style. There are not many hops in this but don't need them as the malts really take the show. Big dark malts that don't get overbearing, burnt or too roasty, etc, and a few years of age on it adds a nice softness and drinkability. I'm gonna try to finish this whole thing by myself before the superbowl, so we'll see how I'm feeling during the superbowl, probably pretty good.

Corked bottle...poured in Corsendonk chalice.
Tight cork, slight poof.
Pours deep Mohagany with brown head layer, brown lace on glass.
Aroma of rich chocolate, Mexican chocolate, mixed spices, cocoa, alcohol.
Significant mouthfeel...rich and bold...oh mommy!
Flavors of dark chocolate, Mexican chocolate, mango rind, cinnamon, Hungarian paprika, melon rind...oh mommy...this is a big boy. This is not for picky, timid drinkers, including some beer geeks. This is like a statement saying "We in Utah can make some Kick-butt beer you won't soon forget." Oooh...help me lord!
Fortunately I have someone to share this with because drinking this whole baby by oneself would be comparable to abuse, excuse my beer language-ookie-ookie...booyang! While less alcohol than say, an Avery Czar, this stands out greater in impact...it's an assault in the mouth, not close to smooth, but intriguing and tasty if you want a strong one!
2/18/2013 - I'm trying a bottle dated 6/8/11. I don't know what my previous bottle was dated, but I'm guessing it was younger, and that has made a big difference. Yep...aging has mellowed out the rough alcohol and mouth assaulting characteristics. This is damn tasty...big chocolate malts, some rich tropical dried fruit, raisins, prune, carob, significant alcohol, bitter chocolate, slight paprika, caramel, toffee...slight liquorice and oak as the label says, but not the biggest flavors...and there are other bitter flavors.

Bottled on 07/09/12:
Into a nonic, and a regular pint, nothing really changed between the two:
A: jet black body leaving a super large three finger head foamy tan head. Last pour of the bottle makes the head mushroom cap a bit and then settles slowly in nice little inner valleys. Lacing clings in a foamy way.
S: awesome combination of licorice, chocolate, light coffee and hop
T: mainly sweet between previously mentioned flavors yet the coffee and hops from the smell presents a lingering sweet stickiness.
M: medium to heavy with some light sharpness on the tongue. The alcohol is felt warmly going down my throat but in a good way. Though as this beer grows on me, there's a part that wants more but I am realizing this perhaps I bit off more than I could chew (hockey game beforehand could be causing me to want to gulp). This is not as drinkable as I thought it would be thinking since it was bottled last July it would have mellowed by now, it didn't. It leaves a sticky aftertaste and finis
O: I think this is an excellent beer, its superb for its style and its superb for me. Next time I wish to have this, I'll make sure I didn`t workout within an hour of having this.

This beer was intense. I was wondering how they were going to make a "black ale" so high in alcohol. It seems it was achieved by essentially making it a stout. It did retain a very intense black malt and roasted malt flavour, though. That made it interesting. A lot of things made this beer interesting. But one overarching thing made it disgusting and that was what I call "soy sauce" flavour. I don't know what causes it, but I come across it every now and then in a very strong, dark beer. They take on the flavour and, more prominently, smell, of soy sauce. Everyone seems to agree that that is what they smell like. This is one of those rare beers with this distinct odor and it is most unpleasant. It hits immediately and hard, masking even the presence of alcohol (which is most saddening of all for me). Luckily ,after a few sips, I did start to get used to it with this particular beer. I've had more overwhelming "soy sauce" beers in the past. Underneath it, there is a lot going on and it is all most interesting and appreciated. The oak flavours are very prominent and do a very good job of adding complexity and pleasurable flavour to the strong flavour of roasted malt and licorice.
The mouthfeel wasn't very pleasant either. I like strong stouts, but this was excessively thick, oily, and yeasty. It was not nearly as bad as Jester King's Black Metal, but it suffered from the same problem. It was so thick, yeasty, and strong in flavour and harshness that it became unpleasant. This is coming from someone who thrives on strong, harsh beers. Quads and wee heavies are my favourite styles. But every now and again, I come across something that's just excessive and distasteful. This is one of those things. Interesting, yes, but absolutely not worth buying again. It was a struggle to finish the bottle between four people and only one of us could really say that we "enjoyed" the experience. They best I can muster is, "it was OK. It wasn't "that bad.'" But that's not worth a high score. In the quest for strong stouts, there are much better choices.

The licorice flavors were nice. Unique taste with the malts, which were unexpected. I loved the thick texture, but I expected something similar to Oskar Blues "Ten Fidy". I loved the balance, but was expecting something bolder. It was a safe brew, for something I anticipated to be a little more larger than life. Great beer, but for the cost, I would not buy again.

A- Black Hole black! No light shall pass! Thick and sticky dark tan head that leaves a ton of lacing dripping down the glass. The legs are thicker than Kim Kardashian's! Thick, oily and drippy!
S- Rich, dark Belgian 80% chocolate, heavily roasted pecans/walnuts/brazil nuts, licorice, vanilla, cherry nibs, burnt sugar, heavy cream, marshmallows, and a slew of dark dried fruit. Picking up some smoked/charred wood and caramel. This is DEEP and delicious! Wow!

Picking up some of the Rye from the barrel. Nice touch of alcohol that opens up the taste buds. Deep dried figs, prunes, raisins and some subtle touches of citrus and charred malt. This has to be in my top ten all time Stouts! Absolutely Brilliant!
M- Thick and creamy like a beer shake! Grabs your tongue and never lets go. Keeps developing and changing flavors before, inbetween and after each sip. This is crazy good!

U.S. Dates Set for Oliver Stone's "South of the Border"
Oliver Stone's much-talked-about shock-doc (which portrays him as an Hugo ChΟΓvez lover) will finally make its mark in North America. South of the Border will premiere in New York on June 25th and feature a post-pic Q&A with the incendiary director.
Controversy has surrounded the movie since Stone announced production back in 2008, after appearing all buddy-buddy in the media with the Venezuelan president. The docu chronicles Stone's 2009 road trip around five countries in Latin America to explore the leftist movement in each area. His main goal was to survey what he perceived to be misperceptions of ChΟΓvez and other South American leaders. What he got was a whole lot of criticism. But don't you always want a side dish of skepticism and historical inaccuracy with any Stone film? Alexander, anyone?
We haven't seen the pic in question yet, but we're looking forward to it. See below for other city screening dates.

Citizens group discusses sign concerns with city consultant
Date: January 21, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The city consultant hired to create a wayfinding system concluded a three-day visit last week and has entered the final stages of the project, which will lead to the installation of about 350 new signs throughout the city.
Merje, a Philadelphia-based company, toured the locations of each of the new signs during its trip to Sarasota, verified the message on each sign and checked for any conflicts with utilities.
The city plans to install the signs later this year, which will better identify where public parking is located, identify shopping and historic districts, locate specific cultural amenities and more.
The wayfinding plan also calls for informational kiosks, similar to those on St. Armands Circle and in shopping malls, which indicate where specific businesses are located.
Placement of the kiosks was somewhat of an issue with a Wayfinding Citizens Committee that was created to relay the thoughts and concerns of the business and residential community. The committee was made up of John Simon, Pineapple Square developer; Andrew Foley, Downtown Improvement District board member; and Denise Kowal, Burns Square Property Owners Association president.
The three-member panel believed the original placement of the kiosks in the middle of a city block would be hard to locate and suggested they be put on street corners, instead.
Simon said the consultant agreed to that suggestion.
But one of the committee's concerns was not met. Committee members felt that a sign identifying the "Southgate Shopping District" benefited a private business, Westfield Southgate Mall.
But Dr. Clifford Smith, the city's project manager, said that there are many more shops in the Southgate district than the mall, so that sign is staying.
By mid-February, Merje is expected to deliver a full map with all sign locations. City staff will double-check all placement and wording on the signs. When everything is correct, the city will then seek contractors to manufacture and install the signs.
Total cost of the project is $1.4 million, although only about $830,000 is currently funded. Smith said he hopes that by the time installation begins later this year, the city will have secured he remaining money to fully fund the project.

• Bird Key Park
• Burns Court

• Downtown
• Gulf beaches

The University of California, Berkeley, Libraries' collections are arranged according to a subject classification system devised by the Library of Congress. Architectural materials are generally assigned to a section of call numbers beginning with the letters NA, although substantial related materials are found in TH (building and construction), NC (drawing and graphic arts), NK (interior architecture and design), GN (vernacular architecture), E-F (U.S. history, historic preservation), HT (city planning), K (architecture and law), LB (buildings for education), RA (hospital design), etc. For a detailed listing see the Library of Congress Classification Outline http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/lcco.html.
The following guide to the NA section will assist the student who wishes to browse this portion of the Environmental Design Library's architectural collection. Note that browsing a collection as large as the Environmental Design Library has considerable limitations: users will miss volumes checked out, in remote storage, in other libraries on campus, and in other classifications. Remember also that architects will need to use many materials beyond those classed NA, and that classifications change over the years, so a thorough search of your subject will require checking the Library catalogs.
If you need help, please be sure to consult the Environmental Design Library reference staff, 210 Wurster Hall.

Basketball: Iowa's Aaron White Goes From Locked Out to LeaderBy Scott Dochterman, Reporter
NORTH LIBERTY — Aaron White found himself locked in Carver-Hawkeye Arena and left Josh Oglesby without a roommate for the night.
White, an incoming Iowa sophomore, started working out at Iowa's new practice facility after 10 p.m. one night last summer. When he tried to re-enter Iowa's locker room, his access was denied by the locks that use hand geometry. "My phone had died. It was raining outside," White said. "I knew how to get into the opposing locker room and kind of spent the night. "The cleaning people working in the morning woke me up and said they were worried about me because they saw my stuff in the locker room. Good story to start off my career here." Oglesby, who roomed with White last year, called it "one of the funniest stories I've heard actually." Their coach, Fran McCaffery, said the story speaks to White's dedication to improvement. "He was here 10 days and shot 13,000 shots," McCaffery said in May. "That shows you the commitment that he has. He also got locked in the building one night. He didn't realize it locks itself. He spent the night in the locker room." White, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, went from virtual obscurity to the Big Ten limelight in a three-month span last year. White became the first Iowa freshman basketball player since World War II to score at least 19 points in his debut. It was impressive, but it became a footnote once he established himself in Big Ten play. Eleven different times White scored in double figures against conference opponents. He started 13 games, including 11 in Big Ten play. He averaged 11.1 points a game overall and 11.3 points in the league. It was a successful year for the Strongsville, Ohio native, who was recruited by only one other Big Ten program yet was named to the league's all-freshman team. "I sat down with coach McCaffery and he was proud of how I played my freshman year coming in with no expectations and he was happy with how I did," White said. "He believed in me the whole way." White became a force in the postseason. He posted a double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds in Iowa's 84-75 NIT opening win against Dayton. In the Hawkeyes' second-round loss to Oregon, White scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds. But those games serve strictly as a launching point for White going forward. He's gained all-around strength this offseason so he can better compete against Big Ten opponents in the post. He also focused on making subtle improvements in his offensive game to take it to another level. "(McCaffery and I) talked about getting better on the defensive end, getting stronger in my legs so I can stay down in a stance or play 25-plus minutes a game," White said. "Offensively, I was kind of limited. I either dunked it or a shot a 3. So I've really been getting the gym and not only making sure I'm actually making those 3s I've been taking. I've also kind of developed a pull-up game a little bit of a around-the-hoop, tough shots, which I didn't have last year. That's what I'm trying to add, just keep going." White wants to avoid the dreaded sophomore slump at all costs. "My freshman-to-my-sophomore year is big," he said. "You've seen people in the past kind of slip their sophomore year instead of get better. I want the opposite of that, just keep growing, keep getting better and keep building this program." Oglesby, who also is a sophomore, said White has developed a leadership role on the team this offseason. "Whitey texts us and asks us if we want to play open gym," Oglesby said. "When we're not getting after it in open gym, he's the first one who says something."

I spent two-and-a-half hours watching the Acclaim Awards last night — 150 minutes with no intermission. Thanks to affable hosts Charlie Clarke and Mark Hardy (the well-dressed "scoundrels" of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last September at The Carnegie), there was a lot of humor, but I put an emphasis on "a lot" as in "maybe too much."
As I've written previously, the Acclaims offer some solid recognition of many of the things that constitute our local theater scene. But the awards program itself lacks discipline: If this had been a stage production at one of our local theaters, I wouldn't be the only critic saying, "Nice work, but it needs a lot of trimming." And some thoughtfulness.
Tracy Letts' plays haven't quite caught on in Cincinnati. We're yet to see a production locally of August: Osage County, his 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner. Neither the Cincinnati Playhouse nor Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati� have picked up Superior Donuts, his 2011 Tony-nominated script that will be staged by at least eight major regional theaters across the United States during the coming season. However, a local pick-up company will present Letts' latest script at the Clifton Performance Theatre (404 Ludlow Ave.) in a brief run (Sept. 9-18).
The Manhattan Dolls will make a one-night tour stop at Know Theatre on Sunday evening at 7:30, performing their Swing-style revue of tunes from the 1930s and 1940s, "Sentimental Journey," in the Over-the-Rhine theatre's Underground cabaret space. The trio of singers from New York City travel the world performing for military events, air shows, award ceremonies, parades, Jazz clubs and concert series.
For several years Joshua Jeremian seemed to be onstage everywhere in Cincinnati. He was a regular in opera productions at UC's College-Conservatory of Music, where he was pursuing a master's degree and then an artist's diploma (additional graduate-level training) as an opera singer. But he was glad to find performing opportunities with many Cincinnati perfroming arts institutions. In 2005 he played a pair of princes in Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's holiday musical, Sleeping Beauty. (In fact, the big-voiced baritone was nominated for a 2006 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for his performance at ETC.)
It's easy to spend time writing about exciting new developments in our local theater scene. But who got things started?
It could be argued that F. Paul Rutledge was the guy who laid the foundation. He passed away a week ago at the age of 91. Rutledge was a theater pioneer in Cincinnati, and many people who shaped what we have today were inspired by him.
The 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival wraps up tonight. Starting today at 2 p.m., 18 different productions are presenting their final shows and both Film Fringe and Visual Fringe are wrapping up at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Rick Pender reports that ticket sales have already surpassed Fringe organizers' goals, and today's beautiful weather should bring out a final wave of good attendance.
Reviews of all 18 of today's shows are posted on CityBeat's Fringe micro-site, including The Secrets Project, which opened last night at New Stage Collective and presents its second and final performance tonight at 7:30. In fact, CityBeat writers have reviewed all 31 Fringe shows, with most reviews being posted the morning after their debut performances.
Know Theatre has announced the 2012 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, kicking off May 29 and continuing through June 9. Festivities begin with the official CityBeat Fringe Kick-Off Party on May 29 at 6 p.m. (A suggested donation of $5 gets you in.) During the Festivals' two-week run, 29 productions will receive multiple performances. Some shows are locally originated (14) and others are by touring artists (15) who travel to festivals around the United States. If everything selected actually happens (that's seldom the case), there will be 10 plays, nine solo shows, four dance works and six multimedia/variety pieces.
Several award-winning groups popular with past Fringe audiences are set to return. One of the most popular performers from 2011, Kevin J. Thornton — his I Love You (We're Fucked) had a sold-out run and returned for another stint last October — is back with Strange Dreamz. Thornton has appeared in the Capital Fringe, Indy Fringe, NYC Frigid Festival, Tucson Fringe Festival, Phoenix Fringe Festival, Orlando Fringe Festival, Kansas City Fringe Festival, and the Minnesota Fringe Festival.
Four Humors Theater from the Twin Cities is back for the fifth consecutive year, this time presenting Bombus and Berrylinne, or the Bumblebee and the Hummingbird. The group has previously produced Mortem Capiendum (Producer's Pick of the Fringe, 2008), April Fools (2009), and Harold (Critic's Pick of the Fringe, 2010) and the hilarious James Bond-inspired puppet show You Only Live Forever Once (2011).
The longevity honors will continue to be held by Cincinnati Fringe veteran group Performance Gallery, returning for their ninth year with Rodney Rumple's Random Reality. Past Cincinnati Fringe appearances include Images of a Beating Heart (2004), The Killer Whispers and Prays (2005), Godsplay (2006), Girlfight (2007), Fricative (2008), KAZ/m (2009), The Council (2010) and The Body Speaks (2011). Brad Cupples, the playwright for Performance Gallery's 2010 entry, returns with Third Quarter Moon: A Complex Derivative Love Story.
We'll see shows from established local companies, including Quake: A Love Story from New Edgecliff Theatre (they presented Darker in 2011) and Don't Cross The Streams: The Cease and Desist Musical, a stage musical from Covington's Carnegie Visual & Performing Arts Center.
Two new local companies will present for the first time. Homegrown Theatre, led by local actress Leah Strasser will present an absurdist piece, The Doppelganger Cometh and Overtaketh, while Essex Theatre Arts Studio, founded by actors Bob Allen and Elizabeth Harris, will stage Love Knots, a series of shorts plays about love and romance by local playwright Phil Paradis.
There will be plenty of new acts, including Grim & Fisher (the award-winning A deathly comedy in full-face mask) from Portland, Ore., and Rebecca King (Storms Beneath Her Skin), a transgender artist from Chicago. New York artist Tanya O'Debra's Radio Star has won awards in San Francisco, Montreal and New York City.
There will be dance performances by Houston-based dance company Psophonia (Delicious) and two local groups, MamLuft&Co.'s (Latitude) and Pones, Inc. (Project Activate). The latter is a collaborative and participatory performance that asks "How do you activate Cincinnati?" It's the product of five local service organizations with 12 professional artists from a variety of disciplines.
Each evening after performances, artists, audience members, staff, and volunteers gather at Know Theatre's Underground bar for the Fringe Bar Series featuring the "Channel Fringe Hard Hitting Action News Update." Events there include Fringe previews, Fringe Olympics, Fringe-e-Oke, Fringe Prom, and the 22.5 hour play project.
This year marks the second year of FringeNext, offering three shows created and performed by high school students. Two are originating from the School for Creative and Performing Arts; the third is from Lakota West High School.
Individual tickets to shows are still $12. "Full Frontal" passes are $200, providing access to every event in the festival. "Flexible Voyeur" six-show passes are on sale for $60, the price equivalent of five tickets. "One Night Stand" passes are $35; that's good for one weeknight (as many as three shows) and a drink at Know Theatre's Bar. Pre-sale single tickets will go on sale mid-May.
For more information about the performances or to purchase passes, check out www.cincyfringe.com or call (513) 300-KNOW (5669).
ArtsWave has put out a very positive press release about the attendance for its first three Sampler Weekends, as well as information for the next three — including one this Saturday.

Ford tech keeps drowsy drivers in check
Ford is the latest manufacturer to tackle the problem of drowsy driving by adding Lane Keeping Technology to the Ford Explorer in early 2012.
Drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes a year, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. To keep drivers awake behind the wheel, Ford is using a set of three safety features in its Lane Keeping Technology: the driver alert, lane keeping alert, and the lane keeping aid.
The Driver Alert technology monitors the vehicle's driving pattern, and if it detects a pattern consistent with drowsy driving, it issues a chimed warning along with a message recommending a break. If the driver does not respond to the warning, it issues more urgent audio warnings. Taking periodic breaks is recommended to break up the monotony of long drives and keep drivers attentive. … Read more

June 10, 2013 Baseball TherapyDoes Firing the Hitting Coach Mid-Season Work?We are now a week and a half into the (interim) reign of George Brett as Royals hitting coach. Brett took over the task of straightening out Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer when tandem hitting coaches Jack Maloof and Andre David were re-assigned within the organization. There are surely plenty of theories circulating around Kansas City as to why the Royals made the switch, but at the end of the day, they probably all boil down to "the kids aren't hitting." It's a common script. The hitters aren't hitting as well as we thought they would at the beginning of the year, and someone must be sacrificed. Since the problem is the hitters, it must be the fault of the hitting coach. And then the spin machine goes into high gear. The new guy will have a "better connection" with the young guys. He's more hands on or hands off or hands in the air and waving them like he just doesn't care. He worked with these guys in the minors. He was a Hall of Fame hitter himself. And then the next night, the team goes out, scores seven runs (huzzah!), and someone declares "mission accomplished!" In the same way that the best quarterback on the football team is the backup quarterback, the best hitting coach in the league is the new guy in his first week. In fact, the most common rationale for firing the hitting coach that I've heard is that it will "send a message" to the hitters to "wake up." (This is also the function of an alarm clock.) The firing of a hitting coach is a signal that can't be missed by major league hitters, and like kicking a piece of electronic equipment when it isn't working, it can only do good things. Does firing the hitting coach actually work? Does it make the hitters on the team better? We do have evidence that a hitting coach can have a strong effect on a team. If we assume that teams have some idea of what they're doing, they should be able to spot a bad hitting coach, and if they have a better one, to slot him in there. Right? Then again, maybe the hitting coach isn't the problem. Maybe he's working hard and the hitters just aren't as good as everyone thought they were. If firing the hitting coach works, we ought to be able to see some effects, right? Warning! Gory Mathematical Details Ahead!

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act.
In its 5-4 ruling, the conservative wing of the court said Section 4 of the act is unconstitutional because it relies on 40-year-old data that does not reflect racial progress and changes in U.S. society.
The court says this provision cannot be enforced until Congress comes up with a new way of determining which states and localities need close federal monitoring of elections.
This decision effectively frees nine states, plus parts of several others with a history of racial discrimination, from having to get federal approval before making changes to their voting laws.
The provision in question was overwhelmingly renewed by Congress in 2006.
According to Chief Justice John Roberts, "Congress did not use the record it compiled to shape a coverage formula grounded in current conditions. It instead re-enacted a formula based on 40-year-old facts having no logical relation to the present day."
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote, "[T]he evolution of voting discrimination into more subtle second-generation barriers is powerful evidence that a remedy as effective as pre-clearance remains vital to protect minority voting rights and prevent backsliding."
The justices did not strike down the part of the law that has been used to open up polling places to minority voters since it was first enacted in 1965.
Civil rights groups argued the Voting Rights Act has helped stop discriminatory voting laws and they feared the impact of the court's decision going forward.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said he was deeply disappointed with the Supreme Court's decision.
Holder said Congress had just revisited those methods as recently as 2006 and that current research clearly shows there are areas in the country where voting discrimination happens.
"These problems have not be consigned to history. They continue to exist. Their effects are real. They are of today, not yesterday, and they corrode the foundations of our democracy," Holder said. "This decision represents a serious setback for voting rights and has the potential to negatively affect millions of Americans across the country."
In a statement, President Barack Obama echoed Holder's response saying, in part, "While today's decision is a setback, it doesn't represent the end of our efforts to end voting discrimination. I am calling on Congress to pass legislation to ensure every American has equal access to the polls. My administration will continue to do everything in its power to ensure a fair and equal voting process."
Conservative groups said the justices took the right approach.
"You stop and you say, 'OK, we're not going to make any more minor adjustments based on this district or this district. It's time to tell Congress to go back to the drawing board and figure something else out," said Trevor Burrus of the Cato Institute.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to release more opinions on Wednesday, and is expected to release two important decisions on same-sex marriage, as the court concludes a term with huge implications on civil rights.

Miss Mike Magee's segment on MLS Insider last night? No fears Fire fans, check out the rather awesome feature around Mike's homecoming to Chicago below, courtesy of MLSsoccer.com:
Check out the full episode with features on the Cascadia Cup and Vancouver's Kekuta Manneh here.
Part of Fire forward Mike Magee's incredible run of form since joining the Men in Red back on May 25 will be featured in Friday's episode of "MLS Insider" LIVE at 6:30pm CT on NBC Sports Network.
Check out the trailer below:
It was May 25 and I sat at Section 8 Chicago's watch party at A.J. Hudsons, slightly distraught.
Despite seeing the Fire put in a fantastic effort in the always difficult climes of Rio Tinto Stadium I sat there in disbelief, surrounded by Fire supporters far more vocal in their dismay after witnessing Real Salt Lake's Alvaro Saborio put the home side ahead 1-0 in the 78th minute.
The feeling was one I remembered -- the same aching pit in the stomach I'd felt nearly the entire game a week earlier in Philadelphia and then a week before that when the Fire had dominated but still found a way to lose at home to the Union.
I sat there for six minutes telling myself "Hey, we just pulled of a trade coup in acquiring Mike Magee" and "Bakary Soumare is going to help improve our back line immensely."
Thankfully it took just six minutes before I felt good again and it was all down to an unlikely hero and an even less likely play as Quincy Amarikwa came flying through to volley home an improbable equalizer in the 84th minute.
Hudson's erupted and though the game would only finish as a draw, it certainly felt like a win.
Fast forward five weeks and the Fire find themselves in the semifinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, just five points out of a playoff spot with two games in hand and on an eight-game unbeaten run that began that night on the Wasatch Front.
Four days after escaping Rio Tinto with a point, Magee would tally his first goal in a Fire shirt just 11 minutes into his club debut. All but about 1,500 people in Rock Hill, S.C. nearly missed it as my laptop carrying the YouTube stream crashed right at kickoff of the match.
As I sweat buckets there was something about the way my computer rebooted itself that told me things were going to be okay. Yes it took 11 minutes to get the feed back up but it returned just in time for anyone that held out hope to see Magee nod home his first Fire goal.
Every night since first suiting up that night in front of a small crowd in South Carolina, Magee has tallied for the Fire. Soumare has brought stability to a back line that has given up less than a goal a game in its last eight outings.
No doubt their acquisitions have helped the turnaround but it'd be wrong to say that the team didn't already have a decent setup in place.
Along with their play, offseason acquisitions Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere and Dilly Duka have all contributed in a big way over the last month, complimenting the consistent performances of Patrick Nyarko, Gonzalo Segares, Logan Pause and Daniel Paladini.
Having never previously tallied in the U.S. Open Cup before 2013, Chris Rolfe has found a bit of a goal-scoring touch in the tournament, scoring three goals in as many games so far in this year's competition.
This isn't to say the eight-game unbeaten run has all been pretty. There have certainly been moments (see the first half against Portland) where we'd like to see more from the Fire and many times where goalkeeper Sean Johnson has had to come up huge to ensure the positive run.
But just as it seemed the Fire couldn't get any bounces to go their way at the start of 2013, the karma, minutia, or maybe just the soccer gods seem to be smiling down on a team that wasn't quite punching their weight at the beginning.
Now that I've suffiently set a jinx, yes the Fire are still 5-7-3 and yes, whether in the league or the Open Cup, plenty of work remains to be done to dig out of the hole from which they started the season. Depth needs to be built in the back and up front but it's still worth saying again, what a difference five weeks can make.
Chicago Fire players Gonzalo Segares and Brendan King joined Sparky, members of the Front Office, representatives from Section 8 Chicago and PepsiCo in Sunday's 43rd annual #ChicagoPrideParade.
As you can see, Sega and Brendan had a great time... Check out the photo gallery below!

The Chicago Fire will hold LGBT Pride Night on Saturday, September 28 against the Montreal Impact. For more information and tickets, please visit www.chicago-fire.com/pride.
If you're like me, you might have spent your Friday night away from a television, meaning you missed the second episode of MLS Insider on NBC Sports Network.
No fears though, catch the full episode featuring the Houston Dynamo's 2006 MLS Cup championship, a segment on FC Dallas keeper Raul Fernandez and the best and worst moments of the past week..
Tune in or set your DVRs for MLS Insider, Fridays at 6:30pm CT. You may see a Fire player featured quite soon...
You ever watch our weekly web shot "The Centerback" and say to yourself, "Wow Brendan and Jeff nail it every time!"
No, you don't? Well you'd be right. Usually "The Centerback" takes us a little to get just right but that also means we can put together a pretty awesome blooper reel as well...

If you've paid attention to Victor Pineda's story over the last year, you'll know that just making the U.S. U-20 roster was a challenge.
The Fire's original Homegrown player came close to making his competitive debut at the end of 2012 before a meniscus injury sidelined him through much of this year's preseason.
Ever resilient, Pineda recovered in time to join the U.S. U-20s and will hopefully take the field when Tab Ramos' side opens up the FIFA World Youth Championships Friday vs. Spain in Istanbul, Turkey (LIVE 1pm CT on ESPN2).
Yanks Abroad's Brian Sciaretta wrote this excellent piece on Pineda's road to Turkey.
The Men in Red extended their unbeaten streak to six games across all competitions on Wednesday night (4-0-2), coming behind to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Columbus notched a big win against Montreal last time out and face difficult trips to Kansas City and LA after the Saturday's home game against the Fire.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective in this big match for both teams (LIVE Saturday 6:30pm CT on My50).
The turnover game - both teams will look to pressure each other's back line
In the Crew's most recent loss to the Union earlier this month, the Ohio team had major problems retaining possession when put under pressure. The Union forwards, especially Jack McInerny, did not allow Columbus time on the ball and the pressure led to Philly getting on the score sheet.
Johnson, Rolfe Preview Columbus
As we know, players like Mike Magee, Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko are excellent at putting pressure on the opponent's defense and this will be important on Saturday night.
On the other side of the coin, the Crew like to deploy the high pressure tactic too, with former Fire player Dominic Oduro often hunting down defenders and not allowing them time on the ball.

In the Crew's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact last weekend, Oduro stole the ball from a Montreal defender before slotting home the Crew's second goal in the 22nd minute.
Fire defender Austin Berry had an unfortunate incident in Wednesday's match against Colorado where he was stripped of the ball allowing rookie Deshorn Brown to give Colorado the lead.
In a game that is expected to be very tight, the team making the least mental mistakes could end up on top.
The battle on the left side - Duka/Lindpere vs Anor
Columbus winger Bernardo Anor won many plaudits for his performance against Montreal last week on his first start back from a horrible ACL injury.
The left-footed Venezuelan started on the right against the Impact and will be looking to build on that performance against the Fire Saturday night.
On the same side of the field, coach Frank Klopas will be choosing between former Crew winger Dilly Duka and veteran Joel Lindpere for the start.

Duka played his best game for the Men in Red against Colorado on Wednesday night as he was able to get in 1v1 situations on numerous occasions and earned the penalty that equalized the match.
Lindpere has yet to fully live up to the high expectations put on him by Fire fans after his move from New York this offseason.
With the team in the middle of a 4 games in 11 day stretch, a start for Lindpere seems plausible.
Getting back into the stating XI in a huge Eastern Conference showdown could be the perfect motivation for Lindpere to put in a man of the match performance on Saturday night.
Dominic Oduro - A striker with a point to prove
With seven goals to his name this season, Dominic Oduro has landed on his feet in Columbus after his trade away from the Windy City. Oduro also seems to have developed into a more complete striker since his move.
The speedy Ghanaian's patience on the ball has resulted in him making better decisions and linking with his midfielders more instead of going alone and trying to score.
What has impressed me about Oduro since the trade is his move away from a reliance on his right foot to a player that is comfortable shooting with both.

Fire fans will remember Oduro's hot and cold finishing but on his day, he can be unstoppable. The Fire have held Oduro scoreless in two matches already this season but at home, the Ghanaian will be aiming to prove a point and it is up to the Fire defenders to keep him quiet on Saturday night.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) won a stunning come-from-behind victory in the South Carolina presidential primary on Saturday, using hard-edged debate performances to vault over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Gingrich was leading Romney by 14 points, 41 percent to 27 percent, with 88 percent of precincts reporting. A week before, Romney had a large lead in opinion polls here.

If the people in the U.S. elected Obama as leader and he isn't doing the job, why hasn't the Congress started impeachment proceedings against him?
With the current state of West Virginia's educational system ranking 47 out of the 50 states, can Dale Lee show how the current system does provide the most-qualified teachers?
I think the fact that the man Obama nominated to head the EPA has longer hair than the woman says a lot about über-liberal Barack Hussein Obama.
Who is the best teacher? That is easy. The coach with the most winning seasons; the teacher who assumes numerous extracurricular activities; and, oh yes, the relatives and friends of the administrator. That question was easy to answer.
The people sitting in offices and ballplayers making millions while people cannot afford to heat their homes and are starving -- there should be some way to stop that. That is what I'd like to see happen.
Obama's approval rating has gone from 52 percent to 46 percent. What does that say? Pundits still stick by him. They are as dumb as he is. Enough said.
I see where our veterans are having trouble collecting medical disability. That isn't a surprise. Obama doesn't give a hoot for them. He is too busy playing golf and rubbing shoulders with Hollywood.
Lincoln County will never pass a school bond issue. They send their kids to Kanawha County to get educated. They've got it made.
It is not right for men to marry men and women to marry women. They keep trying to shove it down our throats. I don't care what anyone says; it isn't right. God help us.
Why don't Beckel, Williams, Colmes and Powers leave Fox and go to MSNBC?
Does anyone give a rat's butt who Delegate Steven Skinner's partner is? I don't think so.
I applaud every senator who helped Sen. Paul in his filibuster about unconstitutional drone strikes. Obama's legacy will be nothing. He is going to end up burning in hell for lying.
Officials say a gun bill is bad for the city. Well, they should be more concerned with drug use, abuse and selling.
Age should bring wisdom, but why did Jimmy Carter go to honor Chavez as a great leader?
