An honor to finally try this beer. I'm a huge fan of Bourbon barrel aged beers. Needless to say I have high expectaitons here after striking gold with everything else that Founders makes.
A sturdy and stead pour brings about deep mohogany and medium brown colors with a significant haze. An initial 1/2" head of dense off-white head falls to half that and remains firm from then on. A nice Belgian lace persists on the sides of the glass as the beer fades.
In Kentucky, we are used to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday Bourbon Balls. This delicate desert is very well exhibited in this beer. The aroma is chocked full of deep bourbony and cocoa aromas. Here, the maltiness doesn't end with the grains, but a malted milk note persists and inhances the intrigue. Just from the nose, this is one inviting beer.
Intense flavors of strong malts, deep chocolates, medium coffees and nuts, and bourbon-soaked fruits make for a great, great taste. Low on hop flavoring, the malts dominate here. Absolute delicious blend of molassas sweetness, bourbon undertones, cocoa, and mild campfire-ish notes make for a very well rounded and complex taste.
The body of the beer, once again, favors the malts but is well balanced with deep alcohols, fruitcake breadiness, and rich creaminess (again, like the malted milk thing- think Whopper candies soaked in bourbon). No phenolics or sharp alcohols, this beer is very well textured.
As far as Scottish Ales are concerned, this one is light on the peat and smokey notes. It emphasized the rich malty flavors and textures without becomming overly sweet. Combine all this with the robust chocolate and bourbon notes and we have a perfect desert beer for a Kentuckian.
Thanks RyanC84!

Thanks to Exiled for sending me this one!
Pours a murky dark brown color with a 1 inch light beige head that fades to a thin cap. Rings upon rings upon rings of lace on the drink down. Very nice looking lacing with this beer. Smells of toasted coconut, some wood, alcohol, and malt. Taste has the toasted coconut, slight wood flavors, some vanilla, and malts. I am not really getting any stand out bourbon alcohol smells or tastes from this beer. Low carbonation with a thick and chewy mouthfeel. Slight alcohol burn in the back of the throat after each sip. Overall, this is a pretty taste beer with some nice toasted coconut qualities (I love coconut). I could probably only handle one of these at a time though.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark reddish-brown body with a rather small, fleeting, off-white head.
Smell: A sturdy, sweet-scented caramel maltiness with a hint of maple. Oh, and with a rich, distinct bourbon barrel aroma, but you already knew that, right?
Taste: Sweet, sugary caramel maltiness with an added dose of maple syrup. Small touch of fruit. Full, punchy bourbon barrel tastes of vanilla and toasted oak wood. Light tannic astringency. Earthy hops with a medium amount of bitterness. Pleasingly sweet, bourbony finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Lightly sticky mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Oh, it's quite good. Potent, sure, but good! If ever anyone has some extra bottles of Backwoods Bastard they're looking to get rid of count me in.

Ahh the Lions,enough said.Backwoods Bastard poured into a small tulip glass an awesome deep mahogany with with amber hue,a tight formed clingy tannish colored head atop,great clarity and a great pour.Deep complex malt aromas with the bourbon barrel showing through,vanilla and cherry notes dominate with some wood and a tinge of sweet alcohol.Obviously not a beer to start turkey day with but I did,its a sipper but not a head knocker.Flavors are pretty sweet up front with vanill,caramel and cherry flavors dominating,the bourbon flavor is prevelent but not overpowering,theere is a noticeablr drying leafy finish.A great beer,like I said asipper but it wont slow you down to much,a few of these and I might enjoy the Lions game.

On tap here at Stubbys in MKE. Got the very last one - keg blew right as this finished pouring onto a globe.
Appearance: Pours a caramelish color with a nice head that retains for a couple minutes.
Smell: chocolate. Little bit of booze. Luxurious. Yeah, that's a good word for this.
Taste: slightly boozy, definitely not obnoxiously so. Chocolatey, caramel, melts in your mouth taste.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth. Oh, so smooth. Right up there with the Skull Splitter in this department.
Overall: very nice. Wish they didn't run out here, but happy I got to review it!!

Brewed in 2011. Pours a very deep copper-orange color, very cloudy, very hazy, and very heavy looking. Almost no noticeable carbonation and practically no head formation, even after a vigorous pour. The aroma is full of vanilla, bourbon, and burnt oak chips. The mouth contains a heavy dose of bourbon, vanilla, and caramel malt up front. The background contains a bit of sweetness, and I'm really tasting a faint cherry flavor, which goes well with the heavy vanilla. There's also a slightly buttery and bready aftertaste. No noticeable "hop" bitterness but the bourbon provides the sought after "bite" on the tongue. The body is thick and chewy and leaves the mouth quite sticky.
Overall, a very good bourbon forward beer that must be sipped slowly. The alcohol is heavy but soothing and warm, rather than harsh and abrasive. Founder's can do no wrong.
EDIT: had a bottle from 2010. Bourbon notes are more mellow, much heavier on the vanilla and oak accents. Much to my surprise, this one had more carbonation. Once again, awesome brew.

A: Pours dark hickory-brown into an oversized wine glass. A tiny head disappears quickly. The lacing is mostly dotty and sticky. When held to the light, this crotchety fella is impenetrable to the eye.
S: I don't really know how an aroma can be creamy, but this is. It makes me genuinely excited to partake. The bourbon/oak smells support a caramel-vanilla-maple malt aroma. I find myself taking this into my olfactory organs over and over. In Utopia, this is exactly how autumn in an enchanted forest would smell.
T: Rich. Full. Creamy. Chewy. Everything I detected in the aroma is present in the taste. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the maple sweetness that I smelled is just a little under-represented in the taste. I think the bourbon oak barrel flavor is overwhelming the malt sweetness a tad too much. The taste experience of a sip of this brew is akin to an Orchestra playing the hell out of a Mahler Symphony, only to fall about 10% short of reaching the full color spectrum at the climax of the piece.
M: Repeat the first four sentences of my taste review. I also enjoy the dryness of the finish, but I wish the sweetness of the brew would coat my palate just a a smidge more.
D: Excellent. This is a very well crafted beer. I could imagine having more than one of these in a sitting, but eventually the high a.b.v. would put an end to that.

A: A medium-dark copper with a deep ruby hue and excellent clarity. The light tan head doesn't get very big but dissipates slowly.
S: A moderately-strong aroma of whiskey and oak with some of the cinnamon and vanilla aromas the the wood brings to the party. The alcohol aroma is moderately-strong warning of the potent potable you're about to drink. The aromas of a Wee Heavy sit just below that of the oak, with that rich malt and caramel aroma along with an earthy peatiness, not that the charred bourbon barrel might not have brought it's own phenols as well. A light diacetyl aroma and no hops
T: A moderately-strong caramel malt rich flavor balanced more by the alcohol than the light hops bitterness. There is a lot of the oak and bourbon presence here with a moderately-light vanilla flavor. A moderate amount of the earthy and peaty flavors and a light smoke but nothing like a Rauch Bier and not harsh at all. The balance is moderately sweet with a farily sweet finish. The aftertaste is malty sweet and a earthy.
M: Medium-full bodied, seeming even thicker with a moderately-low slickness. The alcohol provides a substantial warmth sure to take the chill of a cold night or at least make one relativity numb after a second bottle.
O: A potent, earth, sweet beer that stop short of being cloying but it definitely weighs in as a desert beer but that's the style. If you don't like sweet beers stay away. The Wee Heavy has the richness and boldness to let the oak and whiskey really infuse this beer with a lot of there character and the balance between the base beer and the oak is spot on.

12oz. bottle poured into a John Smith snifter. Bottle dated 11/05/09. Tasted right after a lackluster Dirty Bastard
It pours a fairly low carbonated rustyish brown with a very tiny quick dying head. The beer shows a medium amount of cloudiness.
The nose automatically is the familiar smell of bourbon aging. Wood and vanilla. The beer is particularly smooth in the smell with a great restraint in the aroma that doesn't overpower the nose. It's really inviting and the alcohol is present but not overpowering or harsh, unlike in the lower alcohol Dirty Bastard previously.
SMOOTH, wow this beer is awesomely smooth and the barrel integrates really well. The taste starts off with a nice mellow vanilla and some bourbon. It ends with a mild smokiness as well that is nice and kind of parallels that bourbon taste to just a hint of the scotch.
The body is medium full and a medium amount of carbonation which was surprising considering the lifelessness of the pour. This is a nice sippable beer that shows some nice complexities in the bourbon flavor but isn't filling or harsh in the alcohol content. Overall I really love enjoyed beer which is almost a year old. I think I should try a fresh bottle and then pick up a few more for the cellar because at a year old, this seems like the perfect age.

Whether MLB Rolando McClain and DT Lamarr Houston, whom Oakland selected with the No. 44 pick after trading down two times, become great players remains to be seen, but on paper, they look like smart, capable additions.
Raiders reach to land run stuffer in McClain
Yes, the Raiders were caught reaching again in 2010. This time, the move that will be second-guessed for some time is the selection of ILB Rolando McClain.

Your disposable OpenID
What is this?
In short: automatic, anonymous, registration-less & disposable OpenID log-ins.
OpenID is a solution to the problem of having to keep track of usernames and passwords for sites that require log-ins. Many sites are now OpenID enabled and allow visitors to log in using only the URL of their profile on an OpenID provider such as AOL, Blogger and so on.
OpenID.Anonymity.com is an OpenID provider just like them, but we do it differently. No one has got a fixed profile here, and you don't have to sign up or register any accounts whatsoever. Rather, any OpenID profile given such as http://openid.anonymity.com/anythingHere will automatically be validated for you as an authentic log-in by Anonymity.com. If the site that you log in to ask for a name, we simply give it a randomized name such as "AnonEceSAqo." In short, OpenID.Anonymity.com is to OpenIDs what Mailinator is to e-mails.
How do I use it?
When you would like to log in to a site that you would rather not give your online identity to, look for the OpenID icon or an option to log in using OpenID. If the site accepts OpenID, it should ask you for the URL to your OpenID-enabled profile (provider). Now, rather than giving up your AOL or LiveJournal URL, simply type in http://openid.anonymity.com/whateverhere, substituting the whateverhere part with any letters and numbers of your choosing. Submit, enter in the characters on the captcha image, submit again, and that's it! The site should now recognize you as a logged in account under a fictitious name indicating your anonymity.
But won't spammers use this?
No. On the authenticate stage we ask the user to validate that they're a human by entering in a short captcha (an image containing clues as to what to type in). This prevents automated bots from using the OpenID.Anonymity.com service to spam.
It didn't work on so-and-so site!
Some OpenID-enabled sites choose to only allow OpenID authentications from certain big providers. That's their choice and there's nothing we can do about that.Return to Anonymity.com - the privacy and security wiki

Tio Hardiman is running for governor. Despite domestic battery charges brought against the former head of CeaseFire Illinois by his wife in May – which were later dropped - Hardiman has high hopes.
Adamantly denying the charges, Hardiman said he would make a comeback after the anti-violence group informed him his contract would not be renewed. His position with CeaseFire expired June 30.
A comeback is exactly what the 50-year-old plans to give the people of Illinois, should he challenge Bill Daley and Gov. Pat Quinn in the Democratic primary.
Hardiman told the Chicago Sun-Times that he's planning to divulge further details at a press conference on Saturday, staged at what he calls the border between the Hispanic community and the inner city – 4350 W. 16th Street. He will file at the Board of Elections on Monday.
He went on to say that this is not a "decision he made overnight," but something that he's been thinking about doing for a long time. Hardiman said he's planning a very positive campaign, with an 11-point plan that includes turning some prisons into rehab centers and institutions for higher learning for non-violent offenders, building a casino in the city of Chicago and ending the pension crisis.
He told FOX 32 News, "I want to be a voice for the voiceless."
The former CeaseFire head was arrested by Hillside police in May, after his 47-year-old wife Alison Hardiman accused him of punching and kicking her. She also filed for divorce. Hardiman previously pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of beating his first wife in 1999.
But she had a change of heart in July, dropping the charge and saying she loved her husband and wanted to work on their marriage. Hardiman told FOX 32 News that his wife fully supports his decision to run.
Although many may think it's too soon for him to run for public office, Hardiman said he feels confident, considering the number of people who stood behind him during this year's legal ordeal. He told the Sun-Times that he does not want "one bad situation to define my entire body of work."
He also confirmed to FOX 32 news that he wants to become the first African-American governor of Illinois and is seeking a female running mate.

What motivates people to sit on corporate boards?
Technology and digital media experience are attractive skills for potential director candidates.
Seventy percent of directors say their boards responded to their company's 2012 say on pay voting results.
Directors have differing opinions about what—and with whom—to communicate.
Strategic planning is a top priority for boards for the coming year.
Directors are most concerned about possible requirements for mandatory auditor rotation/retendering.
We are witnessing unprecedented change in the corporate governance world: new perspectives on boardroom composition, higher levels of stakeholder engagement, more emphasis on emerging risks and strategies, and the increasing velocity of change in the digital world. These factors, coupled with calls for enhanced transparency around governance practices and reporting, the very active regulatory and lawmaking environment, and the enhanced power of proxy advisors, are all accelerating evolution, and in some cases creating a revolution, in the boardroom.
In the summer of 2013, 934 public company directors responded to our 2013 Annual Corporate Directors Survey. Of those directors, 70% serve on the boards of companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue. As a result, the survey's findings reflect the practices and boardroom perspectives of many of today's world-class companies. The focus of this year's research not only reflects in-depth analysis of contemporary governance trends, but also emphasizes how boards are reacting to a rapidly evolving landscape.

There are rumors the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012. That's when a 5,125-year period called the Long Count in the Mayan calendar supposedly comes to a close.
Dec. 21, 2012, essentially is the end of a cycle, like when you change the calendar in your kitchen on Jan. 1. But for those who take the most dramatic interpretation of the day, it has spurred fears of apocalypse, solar storms, meteors, polar realignments, UFOs and other doomsday predictions.
While conspiracy theorists are stocking up on supplies and survival gear and true believers are panicking, most will recognize that the day is Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year.
And some have found a way embrace the day and whatever it may bring by throwing an End of the World Party.
The website Doomsday Party 2012 is advocating for a worldwide celebration extravaganza in case Dec. 21 really is the End of Days. Among the advice on the website: only invite people to your apocalyptic event who can help you fight off rioters and zombies. Good soundtrack options include R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)", Europe's "The Final Countdown", and Bad Religion's "Los Angeles Is Burning".
Cruise ships are destined for the Yucatan Peninsula, the Mayan region of Mexico. There, the Museo Maya de Cancun opened earlier this year and the Mexican government declared it Mundo Maya 2012, which melds education about the culture and tourism.
Of course, not everyone is ready to party. In Russia, the women incarcerated at a prison near the Chinese border grew so hysterical with fear that the nation's minister of emergency situations issued a statement reassuring the country that the world wasn't ending. There's even a live countdown until the appointed hour, 12-21-12 at 11:11 UTC—which is 8 hours ahead of West Coast time.
NASA published scientific explanations to diffuse the Mayan Calendar theory and other possible causes End of Days. For example, scientists say giant solar storms are not a threat. Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years, according to NASA.
What are your thoughts on 12-21-12? Do you have survival gear ready? Or are you planning an apocalyptic End of the World party? Tell us in comments.

St. Augustine April 14, 1863
Dear Wife
I have just got off guard duty this morning a Steamer now in sight which proves to be the "Convoy" with the portion of the 7th that went to take Charleston ten thousand men marched up a hill, & then marched down again. probably you know more of the circumstances than we do. & I will not say much about it here now. the Convoy brings a very small mail none for me. the regular mail is on the Neptune which is expected this Eve, when I shall expect letters from home. I am not discouraged but I feel just like going to a "hanging" of those who are to blame for the last "fizzle." We feel that the blame lies with Hunter, but are not fully persuaded what the trouble is; the curses are loud and deep on him, it is believed that the best opportunity is lost for taking Charleston, and by reports taken over the "lines" had been led to consider the place as good as taken. we red of the swearing by the "army in Flanders" but one can hear it in the "South Army Corps." I have felt bad all the time that I could not go but I feel better about it now, and perhaps should have felt worse if I had gone.
April 15th The mail came in this morning I am in recpt of yours of the 19-23-26-&30th of March I assure you that I am very glad to hear that you are getting better. I want to see you once more if possible but it is doubtful if I do unless I live my term of service out. as things look to me we have much heavy work to do yet.
I dont know what to say about Heath so let him [ ] it is said that we shall be paid the first of May for six months & by hook or crook you must get along by begging or borrowing.

Congratulations to all of our winning teachers, and to all of the great students who nominated their Cool Teachers to win. We received hundreds of letters from all over West Michigan, and every month it was hard to decide who was the Coolest Teacher of all!
All of our Cool Teachers and their students enjoyed a Papa John's pizza party with their class and got to be featured on WGVU HD. The teachers and the students that nominated them also received an Amtrak train trip to Chicago with their families. We've had a great year, and we hope that you'll join us next year! The Cool Teacher Contest time starts again in September so be ready...
And, on May 8, all of the Cool Teachers and the students that nominated them will get to meet each other at our end of the year Cool Teacher Banquet. They'll also hear from Paleo Joe and enjoy dinner with all of us here mat WGVU.
Thank you for all of your letters and we'll see you again next year!
Mr. Bronsema
Ross Park Elementary School

CNHI News Service
When managers Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa and Joe Torre were elected to the Hall of Fame, there was universal agreement that the honor was deserved. Not much to debate when the call is unanimous.
If anything was strange, though, it was that the trio was elected at the same time. Previously only 18 managers had been elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., so to get three at once was a first. Maybe that's because understanding the reasons for a manager's success is trickier than admiring the athletic prowess of a power hitter or a starting pitcher.
Cox, La Russa and Torre - baseball's winningest managers over the past four decades - coached for a combined 91 years. Their teams played a combined 13,934 games, according to Baseball-Reference.com, a site that tracks the sport's statistical history.
They leave the big leagues ranked third, fourth and fifth in all-time wins by a manager – La Russa (2,727), Cox (2,504) and Torre (2,326). They are topped by Connie Mack, who had 3,731 wins and John McGraw with 2,763.
Mack is most interesting, not just because he wore a gray suit and a straw hat in the dugout, but because he had an overall losing record. His teams lost 3,948 games – a 48.6 winning percentage.
Mack didn't worry much about getting fired; he owned the team. Few others have enjoyed such job security in a sport where if the shortstop makes throwing errors or the clean-up hitter slumps, it's the manager who gets fired.
Statistics bear that out. Just nine of the 30 managers heading into spring training next year will have 10 or more years' experience managing a major league team. Four have not yet filled out a lineup card, and six have two years or less experience on the job. The average tenure is 6.4 years.
Cox, La Russa and Torre were strong leaders – effective executives off and on the field. Fans can argue the decisions each made during a game - a pitching change or a player's failure to advance a runner in an obvious bunting situation. That's one of the game's most endearing attractions: We all think we're managers.
It's the decisions made away from the field – ones the fans don't see or understand – that explain why some managers succeed and others fail.
Spotting talent and developing players were trademarks of the three managers who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 27. Each was an outstanding motivator - an under-appreciated task when facing the grind of a 162-game season.
Cox was noted for his patience in turning promising athletes into big-league stars. Some managers don't get the opportunity to build a winning team; the pressure to win today is too great to worry about tomorrow. He did it with Atlanta before moving on to Toronto, where he made the Blue Jays contenders, and then returned to the Braves where they were again playing for championships. He claimed a Series crown in Atlanta, where he also won 14 consecutive division titles.
La Russa, who won three World Series titles, was somewhat different. He was smart, even earning a law degree, and developed a reputation as a manager who looked at the game in unorthodox ways. Consequently, he'd experiment, such as batting the pitcher eighth or using eight pitchers in a game.
Torre had success as a player and later as a manager – more than 2,300 hits and 2,300 wins. While his Yankee squads were packed with all-star level talent, Torre as a manager parlayed winning into enormous popularity. The spotlight of fame shines brightly in New York, and he was able to handle it - a point not to be minimized, especially with George Steinbrenner looking over his shoulder. The bottom line: Four championships in the Bronx.
Current Giants manager Bruce Bochy is now the game's senior statesman. He has managed for 19 years, winning exactly half of the 3,060 games his teams have played. Most noteworthy, he has won two World Series championships.
It's questionable whether future managers, even Botchy, will be able to survive dealing with the big salaries and big egos today's players bring to the park. Expecting others to manage across the decades like Cox, La Russa and Torre did is hard to fathom.
History tends to repeat itself. But in this case, it won't.

Resources for educators
Whether it is a natural area in which plants tangle and flowers scramble or a more formally designed landscape, a school garden can provide both a source of inspiration and a learning resource that can be integrated through the school. A garden offers a direct way for students to learn about the environment and somewhere they can find a quiet place. Many gardens become a focal point for community engagement, a project that brings families and local businesses together.
Pollinators are easy to incorporate into a school garden. All that is needed is careful choice of plants and provision of nesting or egg-laying sites. Pollinators can be the subject of many lessons. The resources listed on this page will help you plan and design a garden, introduce you to the diversity of insect pollinators, and provide lesson plans and other teaching materials.

3.71/5 rDev -14.5%
Appearance - Pours a midnight black with light penetrating only the thinnest of edges. Head is a cocoa powder color and 2 fingers thick, good retention, and leaves behind a spotty lacing.
Smell - Aromas are fairly light. Chocolate and roasted malt notes. Even at warmer temps, not getting much from the aroma.
Taste - Darkly roasted malts. Sweet. Chocolate notes. Flavors feel held back; subdued.
Mouthfeel - Full body. Almost syrupy. Decent carbonation. Smooth.
Overall - Stone is known to brew some aggressive brews, so I'm a little befuddled by this RIS. While all the typical characteristics are there, they seem fairly muted and, dare I say, safe. It's a good RIS, but I can't say it's in my top 10.

Pour into a Pint glass from a 22oz bottle, pitch black pour with a fluffy tan head that turned into some very solid lace that hung on the glass from start to finish. Aroma held vanilla and alcohol notes with some roasted malts trying to peek out...they remained covered until the first taste. The taste is bitter/roasted coffee and malts with the alcohol present but not over powering, deep roasted flavors and some wood hints show up as the tasting goes on. The mouthfeel is so dead on for the style, thick/heavy on the tongue while leaving a nice roasted mild coffee/roasted flavor at the end. Overall I'm very impressed with this offering, I love RIS as a whole and I've had a lot of Stones products...this is a winner and I will pick it up when I can.

Sampled August 2014 from bottles in pint glass.
Appearance: Very dark color, dark tan head that lasted for a while.
Smell: Sweet with strong coffee aromas, with some toasted/burnt hints.
Taste: Full-bodied with great balance of malt and hops. Dominated by toasted coffee, but with some chocolate flavor as well. Taste starts sweet with malts, then comes the roasted coffee flavors, and then a little bitterness from the hops. Overall a great combination.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, but smooth.
Overall: Great stout. Best if you enjoy a combination both strong hops and malts. I will buy this again.

Pours a jet black like motor oil I held it up to a pretty bright light and nothing shined thru a bit of a mocha colored head settled nicely on top perfect.Hops in a imperial stout well this one has a big dose that come thru in the aroma with some cocoa powder and deeply roasted malt.Big complexities going on in the flavor department roasted coffee followed by a medicinal quality a touch of smoke and hop dryness in the finish.A beer that lives up to the billing big bold and beautiful man what a beer!

Appearance Black as night with a ruby tinge. The head was kind of weak but lasted the glass really well.
Smell Super stout flavors. Huge coffee and chocolate mixed with molasses and malt to make this an olfactory orgasm.
Taste My Lord! The big coffee (Starbucks finest) has a lot of company in here. Raw brown sugar is a big player, along with chocolate syrup, prunes and raisins, kahlua, light toffee, and a complicated flavor that reminds me of tiramisu. This thing is awesome.
Mouthfeel Low carbonation, typical for the style, and a smoothness that is beyond reproach.
Drinkability I dont know how Stone gets their brews so smooth, but this went down like silk.
Comments Im wary of being the newbie that rates beers too high especially after my Ruination spasm attack (Im still twitching) but this brew embodies everything I believe a Stout should represent.
Update The Stone RIP has established a reputation as one of the best beers made in America, and it is very well-deserved. In comparing the 2003 to the 2005, the only dig I can find is that the Appearance isnt perfect. Otherwise, its as close to straight 5s as you can get without gettin there.
The nose is incredible and changes dramatically as the beer warms. The sipping flavors come so fast they really make you slow down when drinking. You almost want to set up a tent out in the street and start telling people about it.
The Mouthfeel is impeccable and just does fall short of some of the best that Ive ever had. Drinkability? You gotta be kidding me! I raise a toast to Greg and the entire Stone staff for putting everything together (once again). Cheers!
Update I popped one of my cellared summer-released 2005s in June 2006. Its just starting to get into the sweet spot. The alcohol is picking up steam and the sugars are opening up nicely. It still has plenty of body and will be perfect on its second b-day.

2006 Vintage - Bottle purchased at Ledger's in Berkeley
Better reviewers do a far better job on this masterpiece than I can ever match so Ill simply add this: Believe the hype. Believe every word of it. Stones RIS is nearly perfect. Jet black. Bubbly dark tan head. Vinous aromas, dark fruit, chocolate, and a massive, unparalleled roastedness. Flavors of huge burnt dark roast coffee, nuts, vanilla, chocolate, dark fruits, everything one could ask for. Mouthfeel is perfect. Smooth, balanced, well hopped, partially covered to fading alcohol. Drinkability isnt really applicable here. My brain tells me that drinking three would be suicide by my toungue says, more, more, more! I guess thats high.
Highly recommended.

Pours a dark and dense black, essentially no color coming through this beer at all, with a thick, creamy, deep-tan head that has great staying power. Nice lacing left on the glass, especially for a RIS. The nose hits with some bittersweet chocolate and dense, dark fruit sweetness (think raisins and prunes). The initial taste is very sweet to the tongue, following heavy with that raisin-prune flavor, along with bits of anise. Roasted malts are plentiful as well as the bittersweet chocolate flavor that sits heavy on the back of the tongue. Halfway through the sip, the oats, grains, woody, and burnt oak flavors come alive followed by a final bite of bitterness that resonates in the mouth upon swallowing. Coffee is heavy and noticeable as the main aftertaste in this one. Very nice. Very heavy and creamy with medium-low carbonation.
Good RIS here. In the beginning, a bit too sweet for my tastes, however, as it warms up, it becomes more balanced with the deep oats, grains, oak, and coffee flavors. This beer definitely gets better as the glass gets warmer and the sweetness starts to mellow out a bit.
2007 vintage, thanks Chris. Either this beer transforms amazingly with age, or my palate has been refined over the last half year, but this was much better than I remember it from the first time (and I still thought it was pretty good). Less of the nearly-cloying anise and licorice (much less, actually) and quite a bit more cocoa powder and even a hefty dose of coffee beans in the aftertaste. Decent roast from the malts and still a solid alcohol warmth after all these years. Mouth feel wasn't as amazing as I remembered it, though. No oxidation - wow.

2008 vintage. Cellared for about a year.
A: Black with a small brown and thick head, Nice lacings. A really good looking beer.
S: Very balanced and round, yet with plenty of bold aromas. Hard roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits and coffee - all listed in order of strength. Some alcohol in the nose.
T: Really good, smooth and powerful at the same time. It's similar to the smell with lots of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Wonderful subtle fruity notes. The finish is quite bitter with a faint hop note, wood and a hint of licorice. The alcohol provides a warming feeling in the finish. It develops nicely in the glass - the roasted character and the fruity notes gain strength as the chocolate takes a step back.
M: Not overly full-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel and mellow carbonation.
D: Very good. More than a year in the cellar was really good for this one.

This poured like used motor oil. It's just plain black, without an ounce of head aside from the small ring around the inside of the glass. It leaves a delicate and small lace as it goes down.
The taste is outright powerful, with a hint of licorice. The alcoholic content is certainly present, although not overwhelmingly so. All things considered, it's a well-balanced beer. I've had some imperial stouts lately that didn't quite live up to the name, but this one definitely does not come up short. In fact, it could almost be toned down a bit.
This is one big stout.

Pours darker than a black steer's tukus on a moonless night. Attractive caramel cap of fine bubbles which thin out a bit but gravitate to the edge of the glass where they leave their mark copiously.
Aroma is roasted and toasted malts and some earthy hops.
Big and bold, imbibing this beer feels more like eating chocolate birthday cake with caramel icing, at least in body. The taste exhibits some of this, but leans more heavily on toast and nuts. Starchy and bready on the finish, the mouthfeel is silky up front.
Butter presents itself on the nose and palate as the beer warms, and with it a more prominent booziness. And this one will have ample time to warm, as it's a very slow sipper. No room for seconds; more like dessert for two.

Review #100 (!) from notes tidily scrawled on 11/10/10. 2010 vintage.
I poured about half a bomber into a large snifter, leading to a one-finger mocha head atop an awfully black body. The head fades swiftly and leaves behind a hazy, swirling cauldron-look of film. This looks like a RIS should look.
Gigantic, bold aromas blossom out of the glass. Dark chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, anise, roasted malt, graham crackers, maple syrup, and a slightly nostril-stinging alcoholic heat all synthesize to result in an olfactory-filling treat of a smell. Big and bad would be an appropriate way to describe this scent.
As I sip away, flavors of roasted malt, booze, coffee-like acidity, and maybe a bit of hop bitterness grip the edges of my palate, while the expansive, sweet flavors of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and caramel disperse all over the flat of my tongue. All the while, the substantial alcohol content is present in a taste reminiscent of fine single malt Scotch. The finish is heavy on acidic coffee flavors. When first I tried this beer, I marveled at how it affected my palate in "waves," for lack of a better way to describe it. I still feel that it does this, but I am happy that I can now think more critically about how the beer tastes, and likewise describe it critically. Knowledge and cognitive exercise are wonderful - especially when one can get a warm buzz while gaining and performing them.
The mouthfeel has got it all: a full, creamy feel on the middle of my palate, along with a biting acidity on the periphery. A fairly clean, dry finish tops it all off. Mouthfeel-alicious.
This is oh-so-drinkable for how huge the flavor is and how high the alcohol content is. Simply put, I love this RIS. It was perhaps the first truly great beer that I tried, and I hold it in just as high esteem now as that first time I had it. It is a truly delicious and satisfying beer and I look forward to its release every year.

4.74/5 rDev +9.2%
A: A black beer with a persistent brown head made of compact bubbles.
S: Moderately strong aromas of roasted grains mixed with some caramel and a sweet note of alcohol. There some chocolate and coffee that comes through better after a sip.
T: Strong roast flavors with coffee and caramel. There is a medium hops bitterness but little from the roast, mostly just a smooth, crystal malt sweetness. A moderately-low citrus hops flavor and a light licorice character. The balance is somewhat bitter but not for lack of sweetness, there a fair amount of that in here. I read the back of the bottle and now my palate is locked on the fruit flavor being black currents, I might have said something different but it would have been in that park. Aftertaste of dry, roasted grain and some bitterness.
M: A mouth filling beer that is full bodied beer with moderate carbonation. Just enough alcohol to pretty much warm you all the way though.
O: Pretty much everything I want in a RIS just packed full or roast, chocolate, caramel, dark fruit, hops bitterness and some hops flavor while fresh. A rock solid beer that has has a lot going on while maintaining a lot of balance. Not really sure what more I could want that doesn't fit in the glass.

A- Has pretty much everything I look for in a great stout. Pours black as midnight with a somewhat frothy brown head that remains a thin layer throughout.
S- Deep and rich. Licorice,a ripe red fruit(strawberry?) that really sets this one apart, black currant, tobacco.
T- Milk chocolate, burnt malt. Less fruity than the nose with more of the dry tobacco quality. Vinous with blackberry almost like ruby port.
M- Thick and rich without being syrupy and suprisingly velvety carbonation.
D- Doesn't drink like it's 10.5%. A really well made beer. I agree with Stone, buy a case.

2007 vintqage poured into oversized wine glass from bomber
a-Minimal head, but deep black with no light coming though
S-Milk chocolate, licorice, Caramel
T-So balanced. Dark slightly sweetened chocolate, mild roast coffee, mild fruit, little bitterness going down. Nothing jumps out at you but it is very balanced. Hardly any alcohol flacvor. Kind of a malted milk flavor at times which kept me from rating higher
M-Smooth and creamy with a light carbonation on the end
D-Can go down easy but not enough going on to keep me coming back.
Highly recommended RID especially at the price. Drink one now and lay a few down to taste how the flavor evolves.

On tap at Brixies in Brookfield Il, served in a 12oz. snifter
It pours a pitch black with a dense light mocha head that lingered for a minute or two before disappearing. As the liquid level lowers medium lacing is stuck to the sides of the glass.
The nose is exploding with deep roasted coffee with a compliment of chocolate. It just borders between a deep roast and burnt for my taste. I'm also picking up a little pine type hop aroma at the end.
Coffee flavors dominate the flavor much like the nose. The flavor is just over the line in terms of having a distinct roasted grain flavor but isn't so burnt that it makes the beer unpalatable. Not much chocolate in the flavor but alcohol in the backend is a large component. This is my first time having this beer and I can see why people rave about aged versions.
The carbonation is much too high and distracting from a smooth mouthfeel. It finishes pretty dry which I much prefer over a sweet finish in RIS' Drinkability is ok but not great mostly due to the high carbonation. If I let this one sit for 30 minutes to an hour I bet it would improve.

(RNN) - Oklahoma beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and an irate Crimson Tide fan tried to beat up an Oklahoma fan in a wild altercation that was caught on video.
The unidentified woman, who is neatly attired and impeccably coiffed, begins shaking her finger in the young man's face before she's momentarily restrained by another man in a gray sweatshirt. The situation appears to be defused when she makes a quick move, slips by the peacemaker and launches herself across a row of Sooner fans to get back at her nemesis. She's finally dragged away, kicking.
Michael Connolly, who claims to be the Oklahoma fan in the video, said she was a mother of three who was at the game with her family.
"Crazy Bama lady tries to Superman punch me…" he tweeted.
Oklahoma, a heavy underdog, upset Alabama 45-31.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 120L:
With the excellence I have come to expect, once again Patagonia delivers! Just returned from a Caribbean dive trip and this guy carried all our gear in fine style.Fabric is lightweight but bomber and it was great to be able to carry a heavy bag in the backpack mode through the airport. Looking forward to using this for all the adventures to come.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 120L:
I know that there are plenty of gear bags out there, but the simplicity of this duffel along with the durability of the fabric makes this bag the ideal travel companion for me. This bag swallows all of my fly fishing gear and then some for my summer trips to Montana and Oregon. Being a duffel, don't expect shouldering the pack to be the most enlightening experience, however, the backpack straps provide some relief.
