ATLANTA -- Commissioner Bud Selig said on Saturday that Braves third baseman Chipper Jones has become synonymous with the franchise.
Selig, who was speaking to reporters at Turner Field during the sixth Civil Rights Game, compared Jones to Hall of Famers Robin Yount and George Brett -- great players who played their entire career for the same team.
"You think of Chipper Jones, you think of the Atlanta Braves and I can see how much he's meant here," Selig said. "How much does it mean to baseball? More than I think people can comprehend. It means a great deal."
Jones announced his intentions to retire following the season in Spring Training, which would conclude his 19th Major League campaign. Jones leads the Braves this season with a .313 batting average and has 13 home runs.

The fresh light body wash lathers nicely. THE SCENT STAYS WITH YOU, AND COMPARED TO OTHER SHOWER PRODUCTS DOES NOT LEAVE YOUR SKIN DRY.

Yes No
Okay, I knew I adored Olive Leaf body lotion; the fragrance is so uplifting and clean. Then I tried the body wash- WOW! The aromatic body wash is zesty fresh. The two together are perfect for anyone who likes to smell great.
Olive Leaf
I found Olive Leaf products in a little boutique years ago. Had to move away and could not find the product. Very happy to find Thymes and Olive Leaf. It is the cleanest smell in the world. The body wash, lotion and cologne just makes me smile all day!
This is my favorite!
I love this body wash. It is a clean sent that sometimes lingers on clothes, but yet it isn't over powering. I've always thought it was a sent that would appeal to both men and women. I was sad when I emptied the bottle.
Olive Leaf Body Wash Amazing Experience
I covet this fabulous Olive Leaf Body Wash. It is the ultimate cleanser that is moisturizing and good for you as well as having a unique lifting scent that makes me want to use it again and again. My skin looks great with continued use. It contains such an amazing list of good for your skin and body ingredients that are not to be found in any other product I have come across. I love the added olive oil, vitamin E, olive leaf extract and herbal combination. This is a scent loved by my husband and I and I ordered the entire line I loved it so much.

First of all, thank you very much DC , for the effort on trying to help us with this issues :)
I'm on PS3 and I have this 2 annoying bugs :
1 - MC pants(?)change the color when in water
I don't mind being black , but changing color when in water is ridiculous , if possible, fishnets intead that black ... thing , would be awesome.
2 - The Morning Stars earrings are always in this weird angle :
For me , the only bugs I would love to see fixed in this pack it's those. Thanks again.

No worries man , I think that DC is expecting that everyone who's annoyed with this issues gonna post a message here :)
Thanks guys. No promises on this stuff, but I will at least get it looked at. You have to remember that Volition wants to fix things, but they need to be issues affecting a good amount of the population. If they spent time correcting every one-off issue they'd never get anything done. :)
That being said if enough of you are seeing some issues here, there may be case for them to look into fixing them.
One small request, but can the decker specialist outfit have roller blades instead of those ugly shoes?
Let's not forget that there's a clipping issue with one of the luchadore masks.
So far, the Gang Pack has more problems with female characters than male characters.

NEW YORK — Sarah Thomas was a 23-year-old ex- college basketball player when she was thrown off a Mississippi church-league team because she was female. So she joined her older brother at a football officials' organizational meeting as a way to stay in sports.
After 16 years of calling high school and college games, she is poised to become the National Football League's first permanent female game official, possibly as soon as the 2014 season.
"I didn't set out to break a glass ceiling or a gender barrier," said Thomas, a 39-year-old from Brandon, Miss. "If you're doing things because you love them, then things have a tendency to just kind of fall into place."
Thomas and Shannon Eastin, who broke the gender barrier last season as a temporary official while union referees were locked out by owners, are among 35 officials in the NFL's training pool. Eastin is at the lower level and Thomas, a line judge, is one of 21 from whom the NFL will choose the next time there's an opening.
"Sarah's at the top of our scouting program," Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, said in a telephone interview. "Now we're taking an even closer look as part of this developmental program to see who distinguishes themselves and give them a taste of the NFL speed, rules and mechanics."
Thomas' promotion to the NFL would be a "good positive first step that begins to reflect the gender dynamics of the NFL audience," said Aine Duggan, president of the New York-based National Council for Research on Women. "It's important for women to see themselves reflected on and off the field. Having a woman referee is a good step that begins to do that."

Refreshing Scent!
I put this set in my powder room. It is classy and functional at the same time, not to mention that the fragrance is so soothing.
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Complex fragrance
I have tried many lavender lotions, but I truly prefer this one by Thymes. The fragrance is not just about lavender. Sometimes lavender fragrances can be overpowering. This lotion by Thymes is soft, earthy, as well as floral. It is indeed an interesting combination.
fragrance lingers and softens
Receiving by mail for the first time was great. The packaging
was sufficient (if not overly) and it came quickly through UPS.
The ONE complaint I have is that somehow designers of the
pumps do not make it easy to lock and unlock and it took me
way too much time and engineering (and some product loss)
to get it "unlocked." Do I need a course unlocking pump systems?
I'll order again, even if you don't provide unlocking instructions.
Lovely Lavender
Love the lavender fragrance in this set. Leaves a light fragrance on your hands - lotion dries quickly, too!
Lorraine's Lavendar
This is Lucious! I have searched for years to find a product that REALLY smells like lavendar. Thymes did it! It's not that Candy coated fragrance that most lavendar creams have....it the REAL thing! The hand soap is fresh and the aroma stays for hours..the hand lotion? That's the pleasure part. It lasts for hours and your skin will stay smooth and subtle! Love it!

FERNDALE, Mich. -- Tom Ducharme earned the Purple Heart more than 40 years ago. Friday, the war hero finally received the recognition he deserves."It's an honor to get it," said Ducharme. "It was my boys one day brought up the fact, they asked me what I got for it and if I'd gotten a medal, and I said, 'no.' So that's when I started to pursue it."It all started the day then 18-year-old Sergeant Ducharme was shot in Vietnam. He woke up to a long hospital stay. Paperwork did not include an application for a Purple Heart. He lost a lung and his hand was shattered."After a few years, you put it on the burner, and then now that I'm getting older, I decided it's time to try to get it," Ducharme said.So on a chilly Friday afternoon, the sound of bagpipes filled the air in Ferndale. The moment would warm the heart of the war vet, who was willing to give his life for country.After 41 years and nearly 60 surgeries, Senator Carl Levin awarded the Purple Heart to Ducharme. He also received other medals for his heroism and service.

Beethoven's epochal career is often divided into early, middle, and late periods, represented, respectively, by works based on Classic-period models, by revolutionary pieces that expanded the vocabulary of music, and by compositions written in a unique, highly personal musical language incorporating elements of contrapuntal and variation writing while approaching large-scale forms with complete freedom. Though certainly subject to debate, these divisions point to the immense depth and multifariousness of Beethoven's creative personality. Beethoven profoundly transformed every genre he touched, and the music of the nineteenth century seems to grow from his compositions as if from a chrysalis. A formidable pianist, he moved the piano sonata from the drawing room to the concert hall with such ambitious and virtuosic middle-period works as the "Waldstein" (No. 21) and "Appassionata" (No. 23) sonatas. His song cycle An die ferne Geliebte of 1816 set the pattern for similar cycles by all the Romantic song composers, from Schubert to Wolf. The Romantic tradition of descriptive or "program" music began with Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony No. 6. Even in the second half of the nineteenth century, Beethoven still directly inspired both conservatives (such as Brahms, who, like Beethoven, fundamentally stayed within the confines of Classical form) and radicals (such as Wagner, who viewed the Ninth Symphony as a harbinger of his own vision of a total art work, integrating vocal and instrumental music with the other arts). In many ways revolutionary, Beethoven's music remains universally appealing because of its characteristic humanism and dramatic power. Read less

Enlightenment is starting to take shape on Wayland with its own compositor.
Chris Michael of Enlightenment has spending time recently writing an Enlightenment compositor for Wayland (just not Weston or simply supporting EFL applications) that provides an Enlightenment desktop shell.
This early work-in-progress code for supporting the Enlightenment desktop/window manager on Wayland is happening within
this Git branch
Embedded below is this new Enlightenment Wayland desktop shell work.

Helton, heading to his fourth Midsummer Classic, will be joined by center fielder Preston Wilson and right-handed pitcher Shawn Chacon, who will not pitch because of an elbow injury.
Wilson and Chacon were named via voting by players, coaches and managers -- a first-ever feature unveiled for this year's game in an attempt to get the best reserves and pitchers. The game will be played July 15 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle was as happy as his players.
"Helton is a throwback to me," Hurdle said. "He could play in any decade of games they've played. He deserves to be in the All-Star Game. He plays innings hard every day.
"Look where Preston Wilson was at this time last year and look at the strides he's made. ... Where he is this year is a tribute to his resiliency. It's the same with Chacon, the adversity he's been through to come back and do this. I mean, what are the odds?"
This will be the first year that the result of the All-Star Game will determine home-field advantage for the World Series.
"It's not like we haven't gone out and tried to win before," Helton said. "I haven't won an All-Star Game, so this would be a good time to win one."
With three players selected, the Rockies return to normalcy. Last year, Helton was the team's only representative. Now Colorado will have placed multiple participants in the game eight of the last 10 years.
Chacon, who was leading the NL in wins with 11 when he went on the disabled list with elbow stiffness, becomes the second pitcher in club history honored. Mike Hampton, now with Atlanta, represented Colorado in 2001.
Helton, 29, has been the NL's premiere first baseman since 2000, when he challenged for a .400 batting average and won the league batting title. That one slipped by the voters, and he went to Turner Field in Atlanta as a reserve.
But Helton is first on voters' minds now. He languished behind Houston's Jeff Bagwell in early voting, but wound up winning by more than 277,000 votes. Helton has gained recognition through the way he has played the game, not through self-promotion.
Helton's current run, which covered most of the late voting period, was impossible to ignore. He has hit safely in 20 of his last 21 games -- a stint that included a career-best 17-game hit streak -- to pull his batting average to .338.
Helton also has 15 home runs, and leads NL first basemen with 69 RBIs. His .580 slugging percentage and 1.01 OPS (on-base plus slugging) lead players at his position as well.
"I'm excited to go," Helton said. "It never gets old. To be there with the best in the game, it's an honor and I look forward to it."
Wilson, 28, has turned in a career year after arriving in Colorado in an offseason trade with Florida. He has 76 RBIs and has been locked in a competition with St. Louis' Albert Pujols and Florida's Mike Lowell for league lead in that category, and his 19 home runs -- just 11 fewer than his career high for a season -- lead the Rockies.
Wilson did not expect to be honored.
"I was surprised because there are a lot of guys out there having good years," Wilson said. "So I knew it was going to be tough for me to get in.
"That's what you really appreciate. Any time you're voted (in) by your peers, it's a good feeling because it means that the people you play against and play with actually recognize what you're doing at the time."
The additions of Wilson, Atlanta's Andruw Jones and St. Louis' Jim Edmonds give the NL three center fielders. Voters are asked to vote for merely outfielders, and corner outfielders have been dominant on the field and in the minds of voters.
Wilson, batting .298, has given the Rockies right-handed presence in the cleanup position, between No. 3-batting Helton and Larry Walker, who saw his numbers drop early this season but has picked up lately -- although too late for All-Star consideration.
Chacon, 25, punished last year for a 5-11 season on the mound and disagreements with manager Clint Hurdle off it, was a new pitcher from the beginning of Spring Training. He was honored for his work by getting the start in the home opener, a 2-1 victory over Arizona, and didn't slow down until the elbow injury flared last Sunday in a loss at Pittsburgh.
The Rockies' conservative rehab schedule precludes Chacon from participating. He will throw off a mound on Monday, for the first time in eight days, and the plan is for him to pitch a minor-league rehab assignment and be in line to pitch after the break.
But that didn't take away any of his excitement after hearing the announcement on Sunday.
"It's still a big honor, something that I'll enjoy." said Chacon. "The first thing people think about is how far I've come since last August. For me, it's not over. The thing for me is to see how far I can go and when it's over then look back and see this is how far I've come.
"When they told me (prior to Sunday's game), I didn't know how to feel. I was nervous."
His 11-4 record has him tied with Atlanta's Russ Ortiz for the league lead in wins.
Chacon has a 4.27 overall ERA, but that was elevated by two games -- one in which he gave up 12 runs in 3 2/3 innings against Kansas City (but was almost spared a loss, as Colorado mounted a furious comeback) and the game in Pittsburgh when he gave up six runs in four innings and could never get loose.

Gilbert Faure au nom de l'ASSIM's comment, August 29, 4:05 AM
loving your figure! obvious for curators, not so much for students and teachers
Aparna Nagaraj's curator insight, August 29, 10:30 AM
You come across a lot of stuff, find some of them valuable, find value in some parts, and you see connections between the different stuff you come across. You curate by filtering, extracting, and bringing out the connection between the stuff you find, and this curated new stuff becomes more valuable than those already shared stuff that you found. Valuable enough to be shared to others who are looking for similar stuff as you are.
Jo Blannin - Innovative Learning's curator insight, August 26, 7:48 PM
Love this infographic - walks students (Grade 5 +) through the use of Google search strategies. I've put this up in the classroom so that I can refer to it. With primary school kids, its not really a 'work alone' resource but it is great for using as a reference point to direct their research and search skills.
Melissa Marshall's curator insight, August 26, 11:30 PM
A great infographic to remind kids on how to find precisely what they are looking for. Remember, Google is not a person - do not ask it questions! Instead, use precise keywords and get familiar with the Advanced tools.
Steve Vaitl's curator insight, August 26, 9:41 AM
Excellent resource for EVERYONE online!! In today's age of information, it is no longer an issue of recalling information. "Just Google it" is much more than simply a catchy phrase. Nearly every bit of information can be obtained in seconds, somewhere online. The issue has become finding the proverbial "needle in the haystack".
Character Minutes's curator insight, August 27, 10:41 AM
Crap detection resources could be most helpful.
Deborah Eastwood's curator insight, August 25, 10:30 PM
Gamificatioin is an excellent way to increase student engagement in the online classroom.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, August 24, 10:50 PM
Sharing our research is important, but forgoing vigor in publishing could be problematic. For example, what makes an open source published article strong? There is a a need to explore something different that allows publication, openness, and vigor.
Ulrike Grabe's curator insight, August 22, 7:56 AM
That! That's how online text should look.It's like balm on my frayed nerves and pleasant for the eyes. :-)
No wonder retaining information from an online text is so hard if presented in the wrong way.

Visit the land of miracles - Galilee, the Jordan River, the Mount of the Beautitudes and Tabgha, or venture to Nazareth, home of the young Jesus. See the largest hanging gardens in the world at the Bahai Gardens of Haifa. The Panorama Center in Central Carmel offers some of the country's best women's clothing stores. For antiques and crafts, head to the boutiques on Massada Street. South of Haifa, the artists' village of Ein Hod offers hand-blown glass, pottery, silver, gold, and crafts. From French to Continental to Middle Eastern cuisine, dining choices abound. Fresh fish and grilled lamb dishes are the highlight. The best dessert is homemade kanafeh, a traditional ancient dish of baked sweet cheese, pistachio and honey.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
Your tour begins with a beautiful scenic drive from Haifa into the Judean Hills. As you ascend into these hauntingly stark hills, your coach will be traveling along the same route used for centuries to reach Jerusalem. The capital of Israel, Jerusalem is famous for its timeless beauty and was once considered the center of the world. As you navigate your way through this amazing city, you will pass some of Israel's most notable landmarks, such as the Hebrew University, home to 2005 Nobel Prize winner Professor Emeritus Robert J. Aumann, the Israel Museum, the Shrine of the Book, the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) and the State Supreme High Court. After an interesting overview of the city, you'll proceed toward the Mount of Olives where time will be allowed to take photos from this highly favorable vantage point that provides an unparalleled and breathtaking panorama of the walled Old City. Near the base of the Mount, you will find the picturesque Gardens of Gethsemane, site of an ancient olive oil press yard that is surrounded by 1,000-year-old trees. Here you can also see the impressive Church of All Nations.
Following an unforgettable morning, you will be treated to a relaxing lunch at a local hotel before it's time to continue your exploration of this fascinating destination with a walking tour of the historical Old City. Entering via the Jaffa Gate, your walk will take you past some of the most sacred sites in religious history. As you make your way along a route that flanks the colorful bazaar, you'll observe the Christian Quarter, which rests beside a part of the famous Via Dolorosa, believed by many to be the route Jesus followed as he carried his cross to Calvary. Amongst the sites you will view is the golden-topped Dome of the Rock. With its stunning blue and gold ceramic tiles, this amazing shrine is considered the third holiest site in Islam. You will also view the famous Western (Wailing) Wall, the holiest site in the Jewish world because it is believed to have been closest to where the Holy Ark once stood. A visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is also included. Perched on the hill known as Golgotha, the Church marks the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection.
Rejoining your coach, you'll leave the city behind and make your way through the Judean Hills to the edge of the desert, where the legendary town of Bethlehem is found. Your time here includes a visit to Manger Square and the renowned Church of the Nativity. This extraordinary church is built over a grotto that is believed to be the location of Jesus' birth. Due to time constraints and very long lines to enter the actual grotto, doing so is usually not a possibility. After what will no doubt be a highly memorable visit, you'll re-board your coach and enjoy a leisurely drive back to the ship.
Please note: The sights on this tour are not wheelchair accessible and therefore, it is not available to wheelchair guests. There is approximately 2 hours of walking, some of it strenuous with steep steps to negotiate in the churches; therefore, it is not recommended for those guests with mobility concerns. When visiting the religious sites, your head must be covered and conservative attire is required. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not permitted. Lightweight clothing, caps and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.
Terms & Conditions:
Free Unlimited Shore Excursions are for full fare guests only, capacity controlled and subject to availability. Requested excursions may not be available at time of booking. Supplement will apply on Regent Choice excursions (indicated by the above) and excludes Private Arrangements and all Adventures Ashore programs.

Please consult the Destination Services Desk onboard for information. During local or national holidays, access to certain facilities (such as museums or archaeological sites) may be limited or denied. In such instances, adjustments will be made to minimize inconvenience to guests. Some tours have limited availability.

Okay, I have to start by saying that this is the second time that I've had this beer. The first was about a year ago when I wasn't nearly the beer drinker than I am now. I feel that I wasted that bottle... my pallet wasn't refined enough to really know what the hell I was drinking. I appologize to all...
Anyway...now to the beer...
Pours out like hot tar, except it's cold. Very very very black and beautiful. Tan head...a little lighter than I would have thought. There is that roasted barley scent that's just amazing. It really smells like you are sticking your head in a bag of roasted malt.
The first thing that you notice when you sip this beer is the amazingly thickness of it. It's crazy. It's amazing. It's great. There's a little sweetness, but a strong alcohol flavor in the middle of the swig. It reminds me of wiskey in the way it floods your nose. It's not a bad thing. Reminds me of a red wine.
I scored this beer low in drinkability because of the absurd ammount of alcohol in it. You just can't drink many of them. I got this bottle for a steal . $8 at Whole foods in NYC. Excellent. Anyway.. this is an amazing beer that I love and I love drinking it at home. It's not something that you should be downing at a bar.

Bottled 2011-Poured into snifter
A-Jet black with toffee 1/2" head that quickly subsides. thick lacing that quickly runs down the side of the glass
S-Chocolate, roasted malts, anise, caramel, burnt coffee, bourbon The roasted chocolate and anise seem to be the dominant aromas.
T-bold flavors that explode upon the first sip. Warm alcohol burn that you get with a bourbon. The anise stands out with some roasty dark chocolates and coffee. Chocolate/coffee flavors linger during the finish. Some woody notes
M-Full bodied with some alcohol burn slightly more carbonation than you would expect with a stout of the magnitude...as the beer warms the carb and alcohol mellow slightly
O-great tasting brew that drinks like an Imp Stout with far less alcohol. Good flavor profile and the tastes blend well

Wow this pours a jet black color with a light almost non existant head,aroma is very sweet and alcoholic.The taste is very sweet up front with some nutty tones in the middle,very roasted finish.A marshmellow-like flavor also lingers with the alcohol showing thru as it warms.A one and done beer for sure.

Appearance Black as night with a small but persistent tan head.
Smell Aye, caramba! Yes, theres some alcohol in this stout. Once you get past that theres a lovely port fragrance complimented with pure, quality chocolate (it smells like a chocolate factory in San Francisco) and ripe, fresh dark fruits. The apricot and watermelon aroma is prominent along with black cherries and tobacco.
Taste This is tremendous. The alcohol from the nose takes a back seat to the excellent flavors of this stout. The rich, aged port and dark malt flavors are a match made in heaven. This is mixed with unsweetened cranberries (have you ever tasted that?), big, huge, luscious cherries, pure Florida freshly-squeezed orange juice, a touch of pineapple and coconut, and best of all a peach/apricot combo that is out of this world.
I cant go on enough, and this is the very first sip. After Im plastered from the bottle Im sure Ill ramble. This is an amazing blend of all the flavors Ive mentioned. The bready malt especially is mature and well-blended. This is a quality product.
Mouthfeel No carbonation and fuller than full in the mouth. Theres really no alcohol sting in the mouth. This is a terrific mix of flavors that give the mouth a smooth, creamy and chewy texture.
Drinkability No, you cant drink a six-pack of this every night (although Id like to). Be calm yet controlling. This is a masterpiece and its a shame that its brilliance will be lost in the myriad and continual references to its high ABV.
Comments A big, Muchas Gracias, to my fellow BA JREITMAN for giving me a bottle of this tremendous Dogfish Head offering. BA Buddies are the best!

True black with a uber thing milk chocolate skim. Surprisingly vinous and Belgian like aroma of raisons, figs, plums, and prunes. Not much booze present in aroma at all. Very sugar loaded sweet taste but ABV is well concealed, too well Very fruity, smooth, and deceivingly light. Alcohol warms mouth, throat, stomach, chest, and keeshkas. Perhaps the most warming beer Ive tasted. Smooth flavors of vanilla, toasted malt, and bittersweet chocolate are persistent but mellow. Some wood and cream are present and along with a touch of syrup, but just a touch far less than one would expect in a beer of this strength. Very impressive and dangerously drinkable. DFH deserves respect for this. Overall, however, flavors and aromas are not as interesting or complex as many other 2x stouts with far less of an ABV.
...hey, i just noticed. This is review # 500 for me. Not a bad beer for the occasion.

On tap at the Oak cafe. Pours jet black, virtually no light is allowed to pass through this sucker. Tan head made of fine bubbles, about a half-inch, settles somewhat quickly to a ring and leaves a tiny bit of lacing as it does down. This brew looks like a widow-maker, appearing heavy, thick, and robust.
A deep java aroma is the first thing to hit my nose; super deep espresso flavor with a nice helping of creamy, malty sweetness. Alcohol is noticeable in the aroma, not too surprising for an 18% ABV brew. Some chocolate and charred, roasted notes bring up the tail end. The first sip provides a warm, alcoholic bite. Again, to be expected from a beer with such a high ABV. However, I would never guess it was 18%... maybe more like 10 or 11%. The alcohol takes on a bourbon-whiskey type flavor. The backbone of the beer is woodsy; burnt, charred oak chips, vanilla hints, and a wine-like essence come crashing through. Ripe, dark figs, black berries, and slight anise provide a sweetness to battle the alcohol's warmth and it works quite well. Dark mocha cocoa powder shows up near the end, along with some light, peppery hops. The beer is all about the malt, though, and while it's relatively sweet, the warmth and robust power does a good balancing job in place of a huge hop bill. Body is medium-heavy, not quite as thick as expected, but not a bad thing. Smooth and not too sticky, either.
Surprisingly easy to drink for an 18% ABV beer. The alcohol isn't hidden - it's certainly there, and definitely powerful, but it never becomes a problem, and it goes hand in hand with the incredible malt concoction. Glad I finally got a chance to try this one.

Bottled 11/14/2008 poured into a snifter glass.
A: very dark brown with garnet highlights; the clarity seems decent enough but it's had to tell as you can only see through less than an inch. The slight medium brown head dissipates quickly to only a ring of mostly compact bubbles.
S: Alcohol and dark fruit dominates the aroma with notes like fermented plums with raisins and figs. The alcohol being soft with just a touch on the solventy side but. The malt has calmed over the years with only light notes of roastiness and coffee. No hop aroma detected. There is a slight earthy, umami note note as well.
T: It's like scotch blended with a stout, the roasty notes in it's youth seems to have faded leaving a lot of boozy with little support. The flavors match the nose with a dark fruit (raisins, plums and figs) and a hints of roasty malt and some coffee. There is a light malt sweetness and a moderate hops bitterness with the balance being on the bitter side. The medium-dry finish gives way a long lasting bitter and alcoholic finish.
M: Full bodied with moderately-light carbonation. There is a thickness to the body with a lig ht creaminess, very light astringency and a huge belly warming alcohol warmth.
O: I like liquor so the booze doesn't bother me one bit but after a few years of aging the alcohol has become the star player. I'll review a younger bottle soon because this was one of my all time favorites.

2008 vintage poured into a snifter. Black with ruby highlights and sports a tan head with good retention.
Intense, dark, milky chocolate in the initial aroma with light smoke, booze, black cherry, plum, and chocolate liqueur.
Slightly sweet, not over the top though. Dark rum flavors with a nice roasty fade. This is a beer to beer feared a little. Very nice, ages great.

My first review !
A: Black, black black , Head is a little sloppy and dies down quick
S: Cold Coffee, another touch of something i can't describe, plus a slightly burnt hint
T: Sweet, reminds me of good port, My taste buds start to get the hop feel, but are quickly turned over by the sweetness, but the aftertaste lets the hops e come back out. Alcohol is very prevalent, but welcoming.
M: The medium carbonation really sticks with the sweet taste and lingers in the back of my tongue. Can really feel this one going down, from smooth at the front of my mouth to slow and strong to the back.
D: I can't drink darks like this very quickly, but I have no problem taking a good swig and then just letting the aftertastes slowly dissipate. I'm having an urge for a piece of semisweet chocolate.
Won't likely drink this again just due to preference, but as a local and highly rated beer its a good start for my reviewing.

World wide stout 18% alcohol content. Lucky enough to find this one at a Broudy's store in Orange Park FL.
A- Pours a extremly dark black fluid that doesn't allow one ounce of light to penetrate it. Has very little head but does maintain a small tan ring around the glass. Leaves very mild lacing when at celler temperature... with a swirl or two.
S- Rich toasted malts, black coffee, smooth vanilla, and a massive dose of alcohol taint the nose. Quite inviting for such a complex beer.
T-M- Extreme malt and barley upfront with hints of sweet creme, coffee, vanilla, and raw alcohol this is very covered for the amount in it. Being mildly carbonated the mouthfeel is a rush of flavors and thick malts that are full bodied but linger for just the right amount of time not overdoing it. Great overall!
D- It's hard to believe that for such an alcoholic beer it is just so damn drinkable and a great delight to consume. If you are in the mood for a dark beer look no further...

On tap at Brixies in Brookfield IL
7oz. pour in what looks like a tiny juice glass. (Side note: This is my only gripe with Brixies. They serve a lot of their beers in snifters, but the real high alcohol beers they serve in an unflattering juice glass that does nothing to accentuate the beer)
It pours a dark rubyish brown with no head to speak of.
The nose has a huge amount of sweetness, vaguely medicinal similar to Robitussin is the only way I can describe it.
The taste has an overwhelming sweetness to it. Once again I'm getting cough medicine flavors and maybe cherry cough drop. Very overly noticeably boozy. Once I get past those harsher flavors I can pick up some deep caramel notes.
I liked the lower amount of carbonation of this one vs. the bottle form. The burning alcohol really hinders drinkability even for a beer with such high ABV.
This fresh version is night and day compared to the 5 year old version I had a few weeks ago. This keg should have been sat on for at least a year to mellow out. I would gladly drink the aged version again but would think twice about it fresh.

This is a review of a 6-year old bottle that I've been hanging on to... Bottled in 2004.
Semi-roasted nose, some sweetness, a bit of sour/tart character, and plenty of well-earned oxidation notes. Faintly lactic. Charcoal. Past-prime oranges rolled in oats and dark chocolate. I have to think that the recipe for this beer changed in 2005 or so as the 2004 and earlier vintages that I had (when fresh) tasted very different than what came after (less of the now characteristic Dogfish Head sweet-factor.) At this point, it's impossible to tell if it's the age on it or a different recipe, but there's very little booze on the nose, even though I'm pretty sure this was bottled around 18-20% ABV. Oh good Lord, the alcohol does, however, remain present on the palate. Wow. Very warming, and the heat from the alcohol is really just wonderful as this is making for a very rewarding digestif.
Chocolate notes are big. There's virtually no coffee, and far less sweetness than I remember in newer vintages or in this beer when it was young (the bottom of the bottle had no sedimentation, so I don't know if there was any bottle conditioning/fermentation burning through the residual sugars--didn't look like it--may just be the oxidation/age.) There's an unusual note, the product of age and/or oxidation, that can only be described as cherry flavored Chapstick.
Fades with alcohol warmth, some dark fruits (faint cherry juice, currants) and 70%+ cocoa dark chocolate and the typical oxidation character present in many of the world-class versions of old ale.
Drinking a 6-year old beer carries its risks--you never know how it's going to hold up and this beer, while very sturdy, wasn't necessarily designed to be consumed this long after bottling. But the beer holds up and has aged gracefully. A very rare treat indeed--and far more mellow than the fresh batches.

bottled 8/31/05
A: a very dark amber color with no head
S: Sweet, boozy, and a bit roasted. Seems to have some chocolate to it. Not an overpowering scent though.
T: I remember this beer (in fresh form) as being over the top chocolate sweetness. Well, it's still over the top and the chocolate still remains.. however the sweetness doesn't seem so deadly and a very strong cherry flavor has come out. It's not as boozy as expected either.
M: Doesn't burn too much and is relatively smooth. Body is a bit syrupy.
D: Not one you'd drink every night.
Overall, I've had this beer a few times and it still hits hard every time. It seems to cellar well but does become a slightly different beer by doing so. Either way I'd recommend WWS as a cheap way to experience a truly Big Stout.

2003 vintage. Older gold DFH cap without "Vim & Vigor" on the label if you're wondering how to tell what vintage you have! Pours from the 12oz longneck bottle like a slick, syrupy oil spill into my glass. I can coax a thin ring of dark tan foam to appear and at 18% I wasn't expecting much more. Intricate lacing emerges above the incredibly dark brew. Aromas begin with huge sweet roasted dark malt accentuated by rampant chocolate and coffee aromas. A deep vinous, port wine character with a touch of vanilla, plums and dark fruits. Robust and a tad burnt with wisps of alcohol. Simply freakin awesome.
First sip brings a veritable onslaught of rich, sweet roasty burnt maltiness and the minute it hits your tongue you know it's not fuckin around. A myriad of flavors invade the mouth including chocolate, ground coffee, vanilla and molasses. Midway through the sip the vinous, port wine-esque character appears with hints of plums and various dark fruits. Fairly sweet, but kept in check by a nice toasted bitterness on the way down and a slight note of hops. Alcohol lurks in with the finish and warms the throat on the way down. Personally, I find this to be an incredibly enjoyable sipper and a great massive stout.
Mouthfeel is big, thick and viscous...this brew nearly weighs down your tongue as you drink it. Rich and decadent with a mellow carbonation that suits it well. Truly an experience and one of the best high gravity brews I've yet to sample. Kick back, sip and enjoy this one over a few hours. Sublime. I can't believe I waited this long to try this, Dogfish Head continues to meet and surpass my expectations. Well worth the price and the hunt to find it.
2001 vintage: Vim and Vigor still on the label. This one was showing oxidation signs with lots of raisin and cocoa flavors throughout each sip. No noticeable alcohol bite and low carbonation. Body has thinned a little bit. Still tasty.
2002 vintage: Vim and Vigor crossed out with black marker. Hot and boozy upfront with good carbonation. Sweet dark malts. Dark vinous fruits abound with cocoa accents. Molasses in there too. Super flavorful and bold....aging beautifully.
2003 vintage: Smoother with rich dark malts and not as sweet. Cocoa cake, raisin and dark fruit. Cherry accents. Not as hot alcohol wise as the 2002. Drinking great right now.
(Will post further vintage review as I crack them....we only got through 3 years at a previous tasting...)
