3.84/5 rDev -3%
650ml bottle. Nice to see this limited release in 'general' availability in Alberta now, rather than just as a singular seasonal gift to liquor store management.
This beer pours a very deep, dark cola hue, with brassy basal highlights, and two beefy fingers of loosely foamy beige head, which leaves some nice randomly craggy vistas of mountain-scape lace around the glass as it settles rather quickly.
It smells of sharp cocoa nibs up front, milky and earthy all, some chocolate-heavy bready caramel malt, subtle toffee pudding, innocuous fleshy black fruit, a twinge of warming alcohol, and very tame earthy, leafy hops. The taste is more edgy chocolate, of the forgotten brandy-infused, and too-long forgotten on the shelves box of bonbons ilk, mildly toasted bready malt, a touch of Toffifay, slight tones of molasses and brown sugar, and some well-understated weedy, musty hops.
The bubbles are pretty laid back, to the point of stupor, the body an adequate medium weight, and duly, truly, and softly smooth. It finishes on the sweet side, the cocoa still large and in charge, a slightly astringent vegetal character sort of blending into a waxing booziness.
A pretty decent chocolate stout, especially if you like the, well, chocolate, duh, which is generally kept within its pompous, but reasonable limits by a cadre of secondary players, chief among them a lilting vegetal undergrowth, and properly stifled alcohol. Sweet, but not, and then sweet again, and so on. Worthy enough of a go, as a dessert accompaniment/enhancer, at the very least.

Brewed with Rogers' Chocolate (125th anniversary).
A: Black with a light tan head, slight retention, good lace.
S: Chocolate covered cherries. I picked up on the sourness in the aroma immediately. Light coffee, brown sugar and roasted nut.
T: A lot more coffee flavour than I had anticipated, really dry & roasty. Great fruitiness (dates, maraschino cherries, candied pineapple), treacle, molasses, woody spicing (Willamette?). Solid bitterness, alcohol is subtle.
M: Really attenuated and dry... even too much for me!
(I wonder if it's stronger this year because the yeast really chowed down)?
D: It's good, but not at all what I expected.
Call it a mocha stout?
I'll lay one down and see how it mellows.
Personally, I would've used more chocolate malt, cut back on the roasted barley and had some more residual sweetness. Maybe next year?
It's great that Sapporo is continuing the limited releases from the original pub.

650ml bomber poured into tulip 14/12/11
A dark cola with a short lived tan head that leaves no lace
S chocolate syrup with a little raisin, pretty one sided with chocolate but it smells pretty good
T a little booze I couldn't smell and some coco powder to go with the syrup, maybe a little molasses but its not very sweet just a little
M quite thin with enough bubbles too give it some life and some heat I could live without
O lacking body and a little boozy but decent stuff if you like coco
Nothing to be ashamed of but perhaps it needs some age to mellow out the booze

I have a couple of these since Xmas and I do agree that the beer needs some aging ( much like the Jolly Abbott which is drinking great a year later). The chocolate is very apparent and the beer is quite dry on the finish. It is needs to mellow and blend a bit with age as the drinkability suffers a bit now. Still the beer is very well made and has quite a bit of complexity.
This is a new version of this beer for 2012 which no longer uses Rogers Chocolates and seems to have pushed the cocoa flavours to the background. I much prefer the new version as it is more complex , incredibly drinkable right now and longer on the finish.

My brother bought me a bottle of this for Christmas, and I enjoyed it that afternoon!
A - Pours a nice dark brown with a ruby red hue, finger of mocha head with decent retention, dissipates to small islands and leaves some sporadic sticky lacing.
S - Sweet milk chocolate, vanilla and some leafy green hops.
T - Sweet milk chocolate off the top which lingers on the finish as well, like I just finished a chocolate bar. Nice vanilla flavours coming through as well, complemented by some roasted coffee flavours and a touch of ABV sweetness, but nicely hidden.
M - Nice body carbonation fills the tongue and goes down smooth, finishing with a touch of dryness.
D - This stuff is by far the best offering I've had from Granville. Wish they would put out more like this one, as it offers those true craft brew flavours which are sometimes lost on their flagship offerings.

Appearance. Pours deep brown with a thin, light tan head that doesn't hang around.
Smell. Sweet dark chocolate, some toasted grains and vanilla.
Taste. Sweet molasses and dark chocolate. A little sponge toffee and a bit of hops in the end.
Mouthfeel. Medium in body with medium carbonation. A bit of warmth there.
Overall. Good desert beer. Sweet, but not crazy sweet (that's good).

650 ml bottle that I found at the BCLS, when I was looking for something special. Label lists 8.4% alc/vol
"2011 Limited Release. Our Limited Release beerscobine innovative brewing with all-natural ingredients. Created locally at our small-batch brewery on Granville Island for all those who appreciate unique, extraordinary beer.
This beer is rich and warming for cold winter nights. It's brewed with four different malts, hops from the Pacific Northwest and Organic Fair Trade chocolate from Roger's Chocolates. Flavours and aromas of roast malt, cocoa, coffee and dried fruit, combined with a mellow bitterness and rich dark chocolate colour make it perfect for toasting the season. Ingredients include: cocoa, chocolate essence & cocoa nibs."
Dark brown, basically black, ruby hilights. Off white foam, quickly fading foam, no lace. Chocolate smell really comes out, quite sweet and sugary aroma.
Good stout base, with cocoa / chocolate coming through. Sweetish, but not overly done - not nearly as sweet or cloying as the initial smells indicated. Mouthfeel and body are a bit thinner than expected from a stout, some warmth from the alcohol at the end.
Overall, pretty good - a nice find.

A - near pitch black with just a bit of light getting though the bottom, thumb of tan head retained at half a finger with respectable wispy lacing
S - milk chocolate, syrup, hint of vanilla, and a light smoky quality
T - a very sweet milky chocolate flavour with a kick of vanilla, light roastiness and mild coffee, and a syrupy sweet finish
M - leaning towards chewy, definitely coats the mouth fully, just a touch of cocoa dryness
O - a very legit big chocolate brew from Granville, happy to see them stepping up the limited releases over the last year, and this is the best of the bunch thus far

huge chocolate on the nose. i thought i was smelling a milk chocolate bar at first. taste brings more chocolate, and some dark fruit. mostly cherries but some berries in there too. this beer really tastes like a cherry blossom dunked in coffee. is not bad at all. if you like a refreshing stout with massive chocolate, this is for you. i would buy it again, and have it as a dessert beer.

A- Well this certainly looks the part! Used motor oil black is the color with root beer hues when looking through the top of the liquid in the light. The head is a deep caramel color and appears to be quite dense....it settles into a thin finely bubbled layer. The lacing is superb, with a solid layer of foam that clings to the glass.
S- This smells completely of any number of chocolate desserts! There is a richly aromatic aroma of fresh cocoa, dairy like chocolate milk, prepared bittersweet chocolate bar, or even a chocolate coffee cake! There is a nuttiness, like burnt almond and/or candied pecans, plus a hint of un-ground coffee bean. There is also a very mellow hint of bitter hop cones right on the finish as well....very nice and sweet overall!
T- The flavors closely follow the aromas to a tee! Rich dark chocolate dominates the palate with some of the aforementioned earthy nut flavor and very toasty barley malt. The alcohol is noticeable but is so smooth that it does not overpower at any time! It is almost as if this beer has been infused with fresh dairy cream! The finish is a drying, yet slightly bitter leafy Earthiness....a very well balanced brew, if not slightly too sweet....this could be toned back just ever so slightly, but nothing to get worried about....I think GIB intended for this to taste as it does!
M- Full bodied, as a proper stout should be, this totally reminds me of enjoying a beer version of chocolate pudding....it's that creamy and is near the sweetness of that particular dessert! The carbonation is very fine and does not intrude on the palate in the slightest. As mentioned before, the alcohol is there, but has very little bite, and that's hard to accomplish, considering this is a beer of 8.4% alcohol/vol. Right after the swallow, there is a warming sensation in my throat that reminds me of the alcohol. Overall, this is about as nice as a stout can feel on the palate!
O- This is a highly drinkable brew that gets better with every drink and a bomber is rather easy to go through without even noticing....that's how good this is! I would put this in the top 2 of GIB product that I've tried....right in line with Lion's Winter Ale in terms of quality! Pick this one up while you can....I will purchase another one from my local beer store that is carrying this!

Bomber into a tulip. 2012 bottle.
A - Dark cola color during the pour, and jet black in the glass. Modest creamy beige head sits atop, though a little light for an imperial stout. Spotty chunks of lacing trail behind the soapy film left after a few minutes.
S - Initially I was underwhelmed, but after a few minutes the nose opens up big time. Tons of chocolate! I'm getting lots of chocolate malt, along with cocoa nibs and lots of other sweet notes. This is also the first time I can say I've detected chocolate milk clearly in a beer, which has me surprised as well. Subtle booze, along with mild roasted malt and a ton of toffee sweetness. No real hop presence, this brew is all sweet, sweet malts; smells like chocolate cake in a glass.
T - After such an intriguing nose, the profile is a bit of a let down. The chocolate while still present, is much more mild in the taste, and it seems to lack real complexity or balance. Roasted malt is mild, toffee is still there too. It's overly sweet, but I wouldn't call it cloying. The alcohol content despite only clocking in at 8.40% ABV comes barreling down on the palate, with it's unpleasant presence lasting into the finish. Mild vanilla and molasses coming through as well, but not in a way that adds much dimension to the brew.
M - Low carbonation, smooth but not quite velvety on the palate. Heat in the finish from the alcohol, somehow showing through. Fitting of the style, though unspectacular altogether.
D - When I stuck my nose into the glass and took a whiff of what could only be described as chocolate cake, I was ready to turn the page on Granville Island Brewing, having tried virtually all their regular offerings. And while this specialty brew from Granville definitely has some character their regulars don't, it simply falls short in the end.

Poured from a 650ml bottle. Pours a surprisingly (light) deep brown with red tints around the edge with a thin light brown head. Smells like a chocolate shop: tons of vanilla bean and chocolate aromas. The taste is sweet and in addition to the sizable chocolate and vanilla presence there is a sarsaparilla spice and flavours of toasted marshmallow. Bitter finish. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light, however. Feels like this beer needs more body.

Bottled during the winter of 2010 as a Limited Release. Had this cellaring for 2 1/2 months now.
A- A deep, heavy dark brown that has a cloudy red hue on the edges. Head fell off pretty fast but left some small lacing.
S- Crazy sweet with dark chocolate. Slightly picking up roasted malts and molasses.
T- Something went south here. Bitter, I don't know where this came from, and sour. The taste of chocolate has lost all character and transformed into an unpleasant and unexpected taste.
M- Dry, tart, pungent. I feel like I need to chase with another beer to get the taste out of my mouth.
D- This might get drained. I'll do my best but this should not have been aged. Sorry Granville Island.
Please note; I had this beer when it was first released as did some other people I know (I has not a BA member at the time to review). There were no complaints and was generally well liked. I believe this one just went bad over the last couple months.

Zionsville —
John Hanks, Zionsville's Santa Claus, may be delivering a bagful of chainsaw scabbards this year.
Hanks has created a low-cost cover for chainsaw blades and is attempting to get it marketed through Walmart's "Get on the Shelf" program. Called the safety sleeve, the cover is made of solid fiber card stock, which Hanks said is thin but rigid -- similar to the back of a writing pad. While he said the safety sleeve is made from virgin materials, it is 100 percent recyclable.
"It collapses," Hanks said. "It doesn't take up storage space, and it's perforated every 2 inches so you can fit it to your chainsaw blade."
He explained that inexpensive chainsaws don't come with a cover, so the safety sleeve is an economical alternative for safely storing and transporting chainsaws.
Hanks said he came up with the idea four years ago when he saw a customer returning a chainsaw and, as he had it held out, a toddler broke loose from her parents and nearly ran her face into the chainsaw blade. Hanks, now retired, used to work for Inland Container, so he's familiar with packaging. He said he designed safety sleeve and then got with a friend who produces it in Beech Grove.
In July, Hanks submitted a short video for "Get on the Shelf," pitching safety sleeve. "Get on the Shelf" allows inventors and entrepreneurs to pitch their products and Walmart customers to vote on their favorites. When voting ends, customer interest is gauged, and the top vote-getters have the opportunity to have their products carried in Walmart stores and at walmart.com. The grand champion also receives marketing assistance.
"I expect I'll hear something, probably in email form, by the fourth or fifth of the month," Hanks said.
If he should win, he said, he's not sure what price Walmart will put on safety sleeve.
Anyone wishing to vote for Hanks' safety sleeve can go online to https://getontheshelf.walmart.com/product/17ea/Safety-Sleeve and vote.

If you lived and went out in Berlin in the early 2000's, you probably have encountered the tall, dark-haired "Nordlicht" who is responsible for this week's mixtape. Till Spielhoff has been djing since his teenage years in Bremen. After highschool, he left his hanseatic hometown for Berlin, where he has been heavily involved in the emerging club scene and played in notorious venues like RIO and WMF. He pursued his love for music and sound when he enrolled in a MA class "Sound Studies" at University of the Arts Berlin.
Having worked in the audio industries in a number of positions, in film, TV, and music, djing always maintained his great passion. Today he lives and works in London but comes back to his second home Berlin on a regular basis.
Till calls his mix "a slow burner," a musical selection that leisurely builds momentum and has a carefully arranged dramaturgy with artists like Efdemin, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and Moderat. Enjoy!

This second work of the Californian quartet is the natural evolution from the simple-thrash metal sound of "Show No Mercy" and the pure violent Slayer's thrash metal. This seven-songs CD contains the true, unmistakable peculiarities which made Slayer the fathers of death metal: without "Hell Awaits" it couldn't exist "Reign In Blood" and without this last one now there wouldn't be death metal. From the terrific introduction of the title song including hell's noises, Satan's voice and screams of damned, suddenly you discover the heavy and fastest-beats drums play by Dave Lombardo, the scarey climate created by Tom Araya's bass and inimitable voice, the lead guitars Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King with their fastest, very difficult and amelodic solos – a tipical Slayer's feature. Passing by the mystic "At Dawn They Sleep" until "Necrophiliac" with its dreadful lyrics, you will be captured by the scarey atmosphere created by them. Maybe songs have too lenght to be thrash metal songs, in fact the shortness of "Reign In Blood" album is one of the reasons why it has been a record hit. However if you like the hardening of sound, the music's strenght and complexity cancels the problem. What else? If you like the purest musical violence, you must buy this album made by THE ONLY GROUP WHICH MAKES GUITARS CRY!!! HELL AWAITS YOU!!!

It definitely comes down to this one and Reign in Blood, and it's a tough decision. Agreed, Reign in Blood has the sound quality hands down, and it is THE classic Slayer album, but sometimes I have to go with Hell Awaits. Muddy recording cannot kill these demons. The title track is one of the most powerful moments in headbanger history. It is the soundtrack to the opening of the mouth of Hell. The imaginative instrumentation of At Dawn They Sleep maunders and mauls with the dementia of a rabid horde of bloodthirsty ghouls. All of the players are in top form.
Contrary to what many say, this music is not satanic. The lyrics are about demons and hell and butcherous hellspawn, but they are not satan worship. Kerry King likened Slayer's lyrics to horror stories.
One of the most amazing albums from one of the most influential artists in metal.
"Hell Awaits" is classic Slayer! The confronting horrific imagery, the gruesome lyrics, the awesome shredding riffs, the fantastic crunching drumming, the anger drenched screaming vocals. It's all here in all its glory. This album marked a real step up in ferocity for these US youngsters. After ripping holes in the metal scene with their debut, there was really nothing else for these thrashers to do but try to outdo themselves with its follow-up. This is a faster Slayer, a heavier Slayer, and a darker, more satanic Slayer. Everything got turned up a notch and their trademark sound was comprehensively built upon with enthusiasm and raw talent.
I don't think there is a better introduction to an album than "Hell Awaits". It's no coincidence that the band started with this track for their also classic live album "Decade of Aggression". The words "join us" repeated over and over backwards in what sounds like a background of Hell itself. Then the guitars take over. Each subsequent riff is pure unadulterated Slayer and segues perfectly into the next until it builds up to climax and payoff, all before a single word is spoken. Other highlights for me are "Kill Again" and "Necrophiliac", both demonstrating the more ferocious side to this legendary band, but there are no filler tracks to be found.
I must admit that it took quite some time for this album to get its claws into me. I always preferred "Show No Mercy" and well…nothing compares with the legendary "Reign in Blood" that would soon follow. And yet 20 years on and this album really stands up tremendously well. What seemed fairly raw and chaotic at times when I was a teenager is now such a breath of fresh air when compared to the mechanical, occasionally lifeless proficiency of the modern generation of metal. That's not to say this is messy, as Slayer were a well-oiled machine by this stage and Dave Lombardo in particular could never be anything but perfect. It's just that there are riffs and solos flying everywhere. Tom seems to be struggling to keep up with the shredding music at times while blasphemously screaming out his lyrics. There's very much a live sound throughout with a production that just oozes passion and hunger. This is thrash in its purest form and I love it more than ever. If only they were still this good!
Slayer's second full length release "Hell Awaits" was a considerable improvement over their debut album "Show No Mercy". With the exception of the rather lackluster closer "Hardening of the Arteries" every track is excellent. "Necrophiliac", "Kill Again", "At Dawn They Sleep" and the awesome title track are all thrash masterpieces. Lyrically the subject matter is focused mostly on Satanism, violence and other degenerate acts. It's so over the top that it's quite comical actual, but that's part of the charm of the album. The only real problem with the album is the terrible production. Well at least the bass is audible. On the whole though this is a great album and should be in any metal enthusiasts collection. Satan commands you to buy it NOW!
Slayer's third album (their second full length) isn't their best effort, but, like "Reign In Blood" (this album's successor and Slayer's breakthrough), "Hell Awaits" does showcase the band in fine form. The rather shoddy production and aged sound quality that their debut, "Show No Mercy," had is still apparent, and Tom Araya's vocals are sometimes kind of annoying. But this album proves that nobody can match the sheer sonic ferocity and lightning fast velocity of Slayer. Every song is full of amazingly fast riffs and scorching solos, beeping bass notes, and thumping drums. The beginning of the album's first track, the title track, is the only slow moment on the whole record (and it eventually hits high gear at about three minutes in). Tracks three, four, and five ("At Dawn They Sleep," "Praise of Death," and "Necrophiliac") have great, ultra-fast guitar shredding including elongated solos and beeping bass lines. "Kill Again" is fueled by blindingly fast double bass work, four searing guitar solos, and some primal screams by Tom. Likewise, track six, "Crypts of Eternity," has careening guitar work and a weird, long, falsetto yell. The album ends with "Hardening of the Arteries," which is a catchy, rhythmic chugger. "Hell Awaits" should have been this band's breakthrough album. "Reign In Blood" is definitely still my favorite Slayer album, but it isn't their only five-star release. If you like great thrash, "Hell Awaits" awaits!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Where, oh where to begin? Let us start with a very loud, animated "Milla!" to express our excitement at seeing Ms. Jovovich making a somewhat rare editorial appearance in Paris Vogue's Stephanie of Monaco tribute issue. Styled in homage to the Riviera princess, makeup artist Stéphane Marais and hairstylist Sam McKnight managed to conjure one of the best eighties beauty revival images we've seen since, well, the five-page eighties hair and makeup spread that also appears in this epic issue. We would now like to direct your attention to the well-crafted full brow, contoured cheeks, and perfectly punk pompadour that make Milla look terrifyingly feminine, much like her Monégasque muse. Rock 'n' roll royalty at its finest.

3.85/5 rDev +14.2%
Pours clear golden amber with orange highlights. The head is almost white, fluffy and huge and leaves behind some good lacing.
Smell is of sweet malt and some piney hops, malt being the bigger smell. A hint of booze to round it out.
Taste has more hops than the smell, tropical fruit, an lots of sweet malt, with a big bitter aftertaste.
Feel is creamy and smooth? what? There is a touch of hop bite, but not quite enough.
I liked this beer, lots of flavor, just not as much hop all around...

maybe i had a really old bottle, but this beer did not taste like an IPA at all. poured a pleasing coppery-amber tone with quite a foamy head. smell was nothing but malt; caramel and hints of chocolate. couldn't find any notes of citrus, pine, flowers or grass. mouthfeel was smooth with no alcohol heat. across the palate i got more malts, maybe even a speck of toffee in there. finish had some dryness, but i did not detect any of the alleged 105 IBUs of bittering purported in the ale. as an imperial amber or red the big dipa would have scored higher, but this doesn't have the characteristics of a double ipa.

Grabbed a bottle of this at Bottles in NE PDX... Loved their regular IPA... easy A on that one...
- Poured from a wax dipped bottle into a tall French pint mug... a lightly cloudy golden and straw caramel colored brew.. very bubbly... a nice white ring and subtle bits floating about..
- Herbal skunky hoppy IPA... nice subtle sweet malts, caramel, grain, bready... and more hops...
- Nice grainy brew with a big pine and citrus punch of hops... bitterness rides behind with a huge hit of aroma hops and flavor hops.... slightly sweet, nice all grain notes... roasty husks... light sugars and caramel, big pine, floral, and citrus hops... this is a hoppy monster.
- Medium bodied to almost slight light. Rather syrupy though and a touch sticky.... meaty.
- This is a bad bot of a DIPA... grainy, didn't sit in the primary too long... full of flavor, grain, and sweetness... not so strong, but the hops are delicate and wonderful. Certainly a nice beer that I even think could turn out different with a little age on it... never thought would say that with a DIPA... and the wax didn't toss my mind.

22 oz. Bomber into Duvel tulip
A: Typical DIPA. slightly cloudy with a fingers worth of off white head sitting on top. Decent head retention and decent lacing.
S: Are there hops in this beer? A very faint hop presence exists, but you have to dig to unearth it. Very malty and biscuity. Perhaps I had an old bottle.
T: Again, very little hop taste. Huge bready, malty notes. Hop characters are there, but it's more bittering than anything else. This is a below average "Double IPA". There is a lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue, but otherwise it tasted, to me, like New Belgium's Fat Tire.
M: Medium to light bodied, with decent carbonation. Nothing to write home about
O: I'm glad I split this with a friend. At close to $8, and a beer calling itself the Big DIPA, I expected a hop bomb. I got nothing even resembling an IPA. Again, maybe I had an old bottle. I'll have to give it another try to be sure.

2.9/5 rDev -13.9%
Appearance: Pours a clear amber hue, with a white head that leaves scant lacing on the sides.
Smell: Little hop resins and big malt sweetness. THis nose is biscuity and earthy, without a lot of hop bouquet.
Flavor: Big bodied, and with a belgian type dubbel flavor.Heavy earthiness and nuttiness supported by fragrant, but not bitter hops. Candied fruits and yeastiness finish if off, but it requires a little bigger punch of hop bitterness for me to call it an imperial ipa.
MF: Heavy and sticky, and quite sweet though nothing overpowering. I'm glad I tried it, but this isn't the imperial I will be reaching for every time.

A - Hazy amber pour with a one inch slowly dissipating head.
S - Some honey, malts and a touch of citrus.
T - I get a lot of honey, bready malts, some earthy hops and a good dose of orange rind.
M - Medium carbonation, smooth mouthfeel - Not oily for a DIPA.
D - Drinkability is just average for this beer. It doesn't taste like a DIPA - Closer to a malty IPA. 8.4 ABV is not noticeable, but this beer lacks the hop punch that will keep me from revisiting it.

2.95/5 rDev -12.5%
A: The pour is amber in color with a touch of white head on it. There is a bit of lacing on the glass as well.
S: The nose is quite nice with notes of grapefruit and pine. The citrus is quite juicy and fresh, and there is a sweet caramel malt behind it.
T: Unfortunately, the flavors completely miss the mark, here. I found the beer to be overly sweet and bready without much citrus hop flavor nor bitterness.
M: The mouthfeel is decent enough: medium in body with a moderate carbonation.
D: I don't know why I even bother with these guys anymore. I was really hoping this one would be good after smelling it, but the flavor was a complete let down, as usual.

22oz bottle, dipped in Gold wax, poured into a pint glass.
A - Pours a hazy orange with a creamy head.
S - Pine and grass.
T - Creamy pine, but very mild.
D - Sticky and sweet, too sweet for a DIPA.
O - Why do we need a waxed DIPA? Smell is inviting, but taste is lacking.

Acquired 2 days ago at a local SoCal bottle shop which had just gotten this in. Cost was $4.99. 8.4% ABV confirmed. 105 IBUs. 22 fl oz brown glass bottle with waxed over pressure cap served into a New Belgium stem-goblet in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are low given its current ratings.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a three finger beige colour head of fair cream, nice thickness, and good (~5 minute) retention for the high ABV. Body colour is a fairly vibrant clear translucent amber. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Standard fare for the style.
Sm: All I really get is toasted malt. No hop notes. Caramel. Very wrong for the style. Smells more like a winter warmer than a double IPA. A moderate strength aroma.
T: Toasted malt. Light floral hops. Caramel. Rich amber malts. Horridly put together for a double IPA. Balanced as a winter warmer, but ultimately rather underwhelming. Lacks complexity and subtlety. No yeast character. A bit of alcohol comes through.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Thick. Chewy. Overcarbonated. Doesn't really suit the flavour profile.
Dr: Drinkable but underwhelming. Awfully done for a double IPA. It drinks like a badly done winter warmer. I wouldn't get it again. Hides its alcohol decently.

A clear amber in the tall tulip, rather nice lacing. A big hoppy nose, and plenty of bitterness, but it has a mellow character that make this a pleasant drink. Quite spicy after a few sips. More of an intense flowery nose. Orange peel and tangerine seem to emerge out of the bitterness. Some resiny flavors in a winey mouthfeel. Fruity and flavorful with a strong acidic aftertaste. A different sort of big IPA and quite pleasant.

3.18/5 rDev -5.6%
Pours an active amber gold with clingy snow white carpet and cathedral lacing. Sour mash malts and orange bark hops on the nose, with a disturbing rotting berry scent underneath. Chocolate malts with orange cake and tropical fruit mush, cherry cough drop hops with some skunk but no real bite. Light and fizzy without much burn.
What's all this chocolate doing here - in a black IPA, maybe, but in a DIPA? And where's the hop kick? Not even enough bitterness for a regular California IPA.
Blue Frog continues to be unimpressive.

Poured from a 22 ounce bottle into an Allagash cervoise glass.
A: Two fingers of frothy head top an amber-brown, translucent beer.
S: Yeasty and not nearly as hoppy as it smelled on the pour. Some onions?
T: Hrm. Creamy-thick, with lots of herbal-dry hops. Something akin to Simcoe, but not quite? Some sweet citrus with molasses malt. I'd be curious to know the provenance of these hops. Interesting balance, with a floral/spicy yeast to shake things up.
M: Dense, excellent, and impressive. Lightly drying, especially on the astringent aftertaste.
O: Props for being interesting, compelling, and absurdly drinkable for 105 IBUs. I would have again. Recommended and underrated.
OG: 18 degrees Plato

22 oz bomber pours a slightly cloudy medium amber. Good fluffy head and lacing. Aroma is nutty caramel and some piney hops. Taste is citrusy hops and a little apricot, kind of sweet and syrupy. Alcohol is present and provides a nice warming effect as I drink this on a January afternoon. Finishes fairly wet, a little flat and pasty on the tongue. Far from the best Imperial IPA I've ever had but it was worth a try.

22oz bottle.
Pours clear gold with a half inch head of white. A solid skim coat remains for the duration with nicely torn lacing.
Aromatics lead off with a light blend of pine, grapefruit, and husky malt. The hops are subdued for the style and far from pungent or floral.
Medium bodied with a crisp, tacky mouthfeel. Slightly gummy.
Bright pine sap, grapefruit pith, and caramel malt start the palate. A decent enough level of resins and bitterness, but not chock-full-'o fresh hops. Hints of toffee and a trace of wet paper keep the hops subdued also in this malt-forward brew.
Finishes with a mildly lingering bitterness, pine-rubbed grapefruit, and a bit of citrus zest.
This one's tasting a bit beat up. Either that or it never was too hopped up.
More hops please and dry up the malt.

This beer appears a light golden brown color with about an inch of white foam.
The smell is dominated by caramel malts, grapefruit and orange flavor.
It tastes of caramel and brown sugar due to the malts. An orange peel flavor is also apparent. A citrus like bitter flavor is noticeable but strikes near the end and is covered up by some sweetness. Hops are noticeable in this beer but malts also share the stage with them equally.
The carbonation is moderate low. The drinkability is ok it is a quite heavy beer so I don't think that I would want more than a glass of this.
Overall a decent DIPA that is not a hop bomb but it is very nice and well balanced.

Interesting beer - DIPAs often balance malt/halt balance through strength, sweet roasted malt, intense hoppiness. This brew works in the opposite direction.
Poured in a pint glass - honey colored brew with a small nose, little aroma of hops...
...and that's because the hops infusion is mild. Scale of 1 to 10, about a six, about the same mouth presence throughout the swig. The malt is not overly sweet, in fact, works pretty harmoniously with the hops. Altogether, quite a refreshing DIPA.

2.65/5 rDev -21.4%
This is an okay DIPA, a little boozy, and a little flat (not talking about carbonation) in most characteristics.
Appearance: deep orange, almost red. Nice white head that is fairly stable
Smell: Hmm, smells good, but with a DIPA one would expect hops on the nose not the malts to dominate
Taste: again, hmmm. Not much here, it taste less malty than it smells. There is a slight citrus hop profile, but not intense at all. I am drinking this bomber by myself, so it is taking me a while to get through it. The longer it sits the more profound the alcohol comes through (and it wasn't hiding in the beginning). Honestly I feel this beer taste okay, but has no depth to it.
Mouthfeel: Thin, which is normally good for an IPA/DIPA, but this is a different kind of then, almost watery bland. Still not wretched, but not good either.
Overall: For the price it isn't bad. I think I paid $5 for the bomber, but not one I will be going back for. For having "105 IBU's" I wish they would do more late additions/dry hopping, the aroma and taste off the hops were missing. Who knows, maybe it was an old bottle, but I have no way of telling since there is no bottle date. But since I have not seen this beer before at a store I frequent I felt it had to be fairly new.

Type: 22-oz. bomber
Glass: Lagunitas mason jar
From: Clem's Bottle House in Normal Heights (San Diego), Calif.
Price: $6.99
Purchased: April 13, 2013
Consumed: April 26, 2013
Misc.: Wax on the bottle cap
Poured a dark caramel amber cloudy color with two fingers of khaki white gluey head. Very good amount of white foamy layered lacing on the sides on the way down. Very good retention on the top as well.
At first smelled a mix of wet, cascade hops and earthy grainy malts. Lemon tries to come in there. Also got some rye hops. Some caramel malts as well.
Tasted pretty much what I thought it would after the smell. Earthy, grainy, bready malts with cascade, rye and herb hops. Not as bitter as anticipated. Faint sour fruit notes as well.
Medium body. Oily-to-creamy texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Abrupt, slightly bitter finish.
Much better than the Blue Frog Grog & Grill IPA and overall better than I thought it would be. I still probably wouldn't get it again.

The bomber has gold wax over the cap. Why does an IPA need to be wax dipped??? Pours a slightly murky golden-apricot color with a somewhat small white head. The aroma is very fruity and hoppy with a bit of a malt backbone. You can definitely smell that this is going to be a malty DIPA. It tastes pretty much like it smells. Originally, I get that typical west coast flavor with the piney notes, the hops, the grapefruit...but then it ends with a slightly malty finish. Not as much as I expected though. The alcohol is not very well-hidden in this one, and the bitterness seems to be a bit overwhelming rather than enhancing to the beer. Overall, I really enjoy the taste though. It's been a while since I've had a DIPA. The mouthfeel is a pretty good, and drinkability is fair.

Highgrounds is a surprisingly fun deck building game of liches, farmers, and archers
Did you ever wish Magic: The Gathering was a bit more… cute? Newbie-friendly? Highgrounds is a browser-based strategy deck building Flash game that feels kind and inviting, addictive and satisfying. It's currently in open beta, so anyone can – and should – start playing. "Your army escaped a great flood and crash landed on a mysterious haven. But you are not alone," the tutorial level warns. "You must build an army and lead it to victory in battle to claim the Highgrounds." Sounds simple enough. Highgrounds isn't big on story or exposition, and that's fine. It gives you a goal, tells you how to reach it, and sets obstacles in your path to overcome. And by obstacles, I mean 2D soldiers that look and animate as though they were paper dolls.
A numbers game
Here's how it all works: You and your enemy both begin play on a square piece of land, each with your own city to defend. Your default city generates two gold, which resets each turn, and allows you to choose from four recruits. You can place recruits onto either the front or back row. Your recruits come from your army, which is a lot like a deck in Magic. There are two factions in the game so far; one which uses gold, and the other which uses crystals. Each recruit has a different ability based on their position. For example, Ramm the knight has an attack power of three when placed in the front row, but generates an extra gold for your side when placed in the back row. Your gold resets each turn, but so too do your available recruits. Think of this like deck shuffling: your starter army has 16 units, but by default, only four are available to choose from. You choose what you can afford, and on your next turn, the available four are shuffled so that you can choose four randomly-chosen new units. My personal favorite and go-to recruit was Oakley, the giant. This bruiser costs a whopping 10 gold, which isn't easy to accrue if you get dealt a bad hand. Still, he's worth it. While most units have damage values of one to three, Oakley does a mighty seven points of damage. Once he's out on the field, he can be a tough obstacle for your enemy to overcome. Speaking of damage, it doesn't work how you might be used to in strategy games. Instead of units competing with each other, they're competing with each others' team totals. In other words, individual units don't have health, and aren't killed. You try to rack up points using your attack values, or deny the enemy points with defense. So if Grom the troll, who has three attack and three defense, goes up against Ramm, Grom will win, because his defense value of three denies Ramm's attack value, also of three. You can also pick up units which don't do attack damage, but wound enemy units, which keeps them from acting. Whoever has the larger pool of points at the end of a turn wins and gets to deal damage to the loser's city. The amount of damage you're allowed to deal is based on the difference between scores; the higher the difference, the more damage you get to do. Damage is also broken up into tiers by multiples of four. So, if you beat your opponent by three or less, you only get to strike once. Beat them by four to seven points, you strike twice. Eight to eleven, you strike three times, and so on. All of that sounds really complicated in writing, but in practice it's painless to learn. I have always been turned off by deck building games because there's often too much to keep track of, but Highgrounds constructs itself in a way that makes sense.
Competitive pricing
The game features single-player and multiplayer battles, and in fact to reach the Highgrounds you'll need to win battles against human opponents. Ben and I played a couple matches, and while the game itself was loads of fun, the aspect I enjoyed most was its seamless transition to asynchronous play. If you contact a buddy via in-game nickname, Twitter handle, or Facebook, and agree to play a game, it'll drop you into the same square battlefield as in the single-player. You'll make your decisions, choosing which units to place where and who, if any, you want to dismiss, and the game will play out much the same as if you were playing against the computer. If at any time life comes up, you can back out or simply close the Highgrounds window, no saving or anything required, and the game will move to asynchronous play, where you can send a move, wait for your opponent to do the same, and view the results later. Technically, this means the whole game is asynchronous, but since armies animate at the same time to attack and matches move at such a quick pace, it just doesn't feel that way. If you plan on playing competitively with friends in real-time, I highly suggest turning off notifications. Ben and I kept in contact via instant message so we knew whose turn it was, but I was also getting a beep on my phone every time it was my turn. My email inbox skyrocketed from one to 22 over the course of two games. If you really want to get a leg up on your human opponents, you'll want to visit the game's shop and buy booster packs, which give you even more recruits to choose from when building your army. This is where a free-to-play game like Highgrounds makes its money, but the pricing schemes make sense. Booster packs cost gems, a currency that can only be obtained with real-world money. You get 500 gems for $5, 1050 gems for $10, 2300 gems for $20, or 5900 gems for $50. You'd have to be a pretty hardcore Highgrounds player to warrant the $50 option, but the other amounts are very enticing, given the cost of booster packs. A value booster pack contains six recruits, two of which are guaranteed to be of uncommon quality. It also has a low chance of providing you with a rare quality recruit. It costs a very reasonable 100 gems. Even an ultra booster pack, which also contains six units – two of which are guaranteed uncommon, and two more which are guaranteed rare – as well as a high chance for ultra-rare, only costs 600 gems. There are two downsides to this monetization, however. Gems can't be earned, and the game currently lacks an ultra-cheap gem purchasing option, so if you want that ultra booster pack and nothing else, you can't buy $6 worth of gems, you have to buy $10 worth of gems. Still, you shouldn't need any of the booster packs. As you progress through the 28 battles which lead to the Highgrounds, you gain new recruits from your conquered enemies. This will be enough to get you through most battles and even many online opponents, and smart deployment decisions trump raw power. Highgrounds is in open beta, and is limited to the PC only for now, but its publisher, Spry Fox, has a history of strong iOS and Android games. If this comes to your phone, be prepared; buy an extra-strength battery.

It's been a big two weeks for Christopher Nolan in New York and beyond. The admired director was feted at the Film Society Of Lincoln Center with an hour-plus conversation about his 'Dark Knight' trilogy last week and a few days before that the IFC Center hosted a screening of a new restored print of "Following," his debut film that Criterion is releasing later this month. To cap it all off, "The Dark Knight Rises" and the entire trilogy is out on Blu-Ray and DVD this week (surely, that is going to be one of the biggest home video releases of the year).
Last week we had the good fortune to sit down with Nolan, have some tea (naturally) and dig in deep into the creative process of his Batman trilogy and more. Our conversation casually began as Nolan mentioned the FSLC dialogue and then segued into a discussion of the the recent IFC Center screening of a new restored print of "Following." Due to the length of our conversation, you can come back tomorrow to read part two of the interview. For more Nolan, you can check out our chat with the filmmaker about "Justice League," whether he'll do more superhero pictures and the producing process behind next summer's Superman film "Man of Steel." Update: and for more from Christopher Nolan, make sure to go and read the final part of our interview here.
Well, we did New Films, New Directors with "Following" when starting out which is Lincoln Center and MOMA together. It's nice to come back to that audience, it was very important for me starting out. We screened the print because it's coming out on Blu-ray with Criterion so we did a screening of that, and it was really fun. It was fun to get back to that side of things.
Did you work closely on the restoration of that release?
I actually spent almost two years restoring the thing which makes me feel very old. But we had never been able to get it looking the way it was intended to and the way it did on its very first 16mm prints which screened at the San Francisco and Toronto film festival. So we ended up with a 35mm blow-up, but I was never happy with it. I was never able to finish it quite right so we spent a couple of years on it. I got the Criterion guys involved and IFC did it with me and Criterion got a really beautiful Blu-ray. I know it sounds like I'm selling my Blu-Ray, but I really want people to take a look at it because it is beautiful and it was really fun to be able to strike some 35mm prints that look the way they're meant to. We screened that at IFC it was really good.
Yeah, it's odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future, mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you. I find it interesting. And with my films there's always been a lot of personal history in them too in a way, particularly a film like "Following," where I made it with friends and family. We just shot it in places we were living.
Your uncle John Nolan appears in it and he's in "Batman Begins" too.
Yeah, and he's in "Dark Knight Rises" as well. John, he's a real actor in the Royal Shakespeare Company. I drafted him into the role and then used him for "Batman Begins" and "Rises."
Having revisited all the films, it strikes me that unless you have a great poker face these films were conceived as a trilogy, despite some claims to the contrary.
[Laughs] Well it's a bit of both. I'm often asked if we'll do a trilogy with relation to "Dark Knight Rises" and it's a complicated question to answer because the truth is when we took on the character, you know that there is a potential for sequels... So David Goyer and I at a very early stage, were just throwing ideas around for "Batman Begins" and just exploring the character. We did loosely talk about where you would go for other sequels, and to us, that was a trilogy because a story has a beginning, middle and an end. But very early on we shut that down and said, "Yes and no." It was in the back of our minds, but if we said anything, or held anything back consciously we were going to be making less of a movie than we could. So with "Batman Begins," I thought everybody just pretty much was thinking about that movie. When it was finished we said, "Okay we have the loose arc of what the trilogy would be as a story."
The ending is controversial to many, but in retrospect, there are myriad threads planted throughout that reinforce the idea that Bruce Wayne is looking to get out of the game as soon as he can. This isn't a long term plan and he's been planning to quit all along.
Very much. I mean everything in the trilogy comes back to the scene of the jet in "Batman Begins" between Bruce and Alfred. It's a short scene and it's simple, but it's got a couple of little nods to this idea. It flies by, but i it's crucial to the trilogy because not all Batman fans agree with this. This is my interpretation of the character.
This is David [Goyer] and my take on it, and Christian [Bale] as well having his input. We said, "Okay, when you look at how you make the incredible extraordinary actions of an individual, who's going to reinvent themselves in a theatrical persona in order to right the wrongs of the world and exorcise demons"....
The only way to me that made sense was in a more realistic tone, and taking on the idea of symbolism. The take on the idea that [Bruce Wayne] would see himself as a symbol who would motivate the good of Gotham to actually start working on their own, so he would be a catalyst for change, and tip the scales. And that's always going to be a temporary process. To me it only made sense if you were looking at going okay, "I'm going to do this until the point where it's not needed. So we followed it through very much into "The Dark Knight."
Oh yeah, a big reason the three films are one big film. I'm just being honest with people when I say we never intended to make a trilogy. What I'm being honest about is we never sat down and wrote a trilogy. Because I feel that to do it that way, you would be limiting the possibilities. What I wanted to do was live the trilogy with the characters, grow them, and take the time to develop the thing over years from the inside. I talk about his writing from the inside -- we're changing and growing with the characters and the world is changing with the characters. We're trying to reflect that in the storytelling but always knowing that in loose terms, this is Bruce Wayne's story. It has a beginning, it has a middle and it has an end. And we essentially knew what that was upfront.
As much as it's Bruce Wayne's story, it seems to be the story of a city, almost the battle for the soul of Gotham.
Yes, it is. I think that was very relevant when we first looked at what constitutes Batman. What is the character of Batman? In looking at the comics and the history of the comics, really Gotham, his relationship with the city is a very defining feature of why Batman exists and who he is. In terms of the canvas of the film, we went outside Gotham. We did that in order to suggest the idea to the audience that Gotham is not a village. That you're subtracting, as sometimes in the TV show or the Tim Burton movies, there was this slightly claustrophobic nature of the world.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has agreed to terms on a four-year contract with sixth-round draft choice Andrew Tiller, an offensive guard out of Syracuse.
The 6-foot-5, 334-pound Tiller started 28 games at for the Orange, playing under head coach Doug Marrone, a former Saints offensive line coach.
As a senior last season, Tiller started all 12 games and was an All-Big East first-team selection.
Tiller became a starter in 2010 and blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher the past two seasons.
Financial terms were not released for Tiller's deal, which left fourth-round pick Nick Toon, a receiver out of Wisconsin, as the only Saints 2012 draft pick without a contract agreement in place.

Fort Myers - 99 minutes was not enough for Bishop Verot and Tampa's Berkeley Prep.
In the final minute of double overtime, Andrew Palumbo sent a crossing pass towards the net and James Gibson connected on a header to score the only goal of the game as Bishop Verot beat Berkeley Prep 1-0 in the 3A regional final on Friday night.
NBC2 has the highlight of the game-winning goal and spoke to Gibson and Verot head coach Tom McGlinn after the double overtime win.
The win advances the Vikings to the Class 3A state semifinal next Thursday afternoon vs. Lake Highland Prep. The game will be played at the University of Tampa soccer stadium.
It's a return trip to the state semifinals. Last winter, Bishop Verot beat Jacksonville's Episcopal 2-1 in the semifinals, then beat North Broward Prep 4-3 to win the Class 3A state championship.

Since 1987 the University of Maine-based Lobster Institute has worked to sustain both a viable lobster resource and lobster fishery through conservation, outreach, research and education.
The institute will celebrate on Friday, Sept. 21, its 25 years of work for lobstermen and all sectors of the lobster industry, from Newfoundland to Long Island Sound, with a research showcase at UMaine's Memorial Union and an awards ceremony at a dinner that night.
The showcase, which will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is free and open to the public and will be held in the atrium area in front of the UMaine bookstore in the Union. It will feature more than 20 poster presentations and displays of a range of
projects including lobster health sampling; bait amounts; stock assessment; and value-added product development.
Displays include a model of the Habitat Mooring System, a new concept in moorings that was developed with assistance from UMaine engineers and marine scientists; a mounted lobster shell nearly 30 inches long; lobster traps and tools; and an exhibit tracing the history of the institute.
There will be a special hour from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for news media interested in interviewing Lobster Institute officials such as Dr. Robert Bayer, who has served since 1995 as executive director of the institute, associate director Cathy Billings,
and researchers affiliated with the institute.
The anniversary celebration continues Friday night at an awards ceremony and dinner on the UMaine campus. The dinner is sold out.
The Lobster Institute was founded by five major stakeholders — the Maine Lobstermen's Association, the Massachusetts Lobstermen's Association, the Maine Pound Owners Association, the Maine Import/Export Dealer's Association and the University of Maine — who recognized the lobster fishery in Maine and surrounding areas was the signature fishery of the North Atlantic. Further, they understood that protecting this invaluable natural resource, which was the cornerstone to a vast structure comprised of economically related businesses and culturally related lifestyles and art forms, was incumbent upon the industry itself and the communities and states in which those industries were relied upon to thrive.
The founders supported the creation of a research and educational entity designed to conduct scientific investigation on and provide information about the American lobster (Homarus americanus) in order to help conserve and enhance the resource, and ensure the continuance of a strong and healthy lobster industry in Maine and the region. The University of Maine Board of Trustees approved the creation of the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine in 1987.
In the years since its inception, the landings and values of the lobster catch have risen. From 1994 to 1999 the increase in landings reported in Maine alone was 13.5 million pounds. In 2011, the dockside value of Maine's catch hit a record 103.8 million pounds, valued at $331.4 million, with an estimated economic impact on the state economy of over $1 billion. Today, there are approximately 6,000 commercial lobster license holders in Maine, more than 2,000 in Massachusetts and slightly fewer in Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. There are thousands of recreational licenses issued yearly as well. In addition, Canada has a thriving lobster fishery in the Maritime Provinces, and is the largest supplier of the American lobster worldwide. The Lobster Institute works with all of these regions, which all share the same invaluable natural resource — the American lobster.

Notes from tasting on 11/16. thanks to mike for sharing this brew.
a - poured brown with dark core and a thin white head.
s - nutmeg brown ale. some spices and pepperiness.
t - initial response is exactly what someone else said, "like the inside of a balloon" with rubberiness and lots of spices. some pumpkin but super peppery and spicy, a bit too much for my (and the others at the tasting) taste buds.
m - spicy. too much going on.
o - overal, drinkable, but not tonight. too much going on and too much spiciness...i didn't finish my pour neither did anyone else at the tasting.

Big thanks goes out to kjkinsey for sending me this one as an extra in a very recent trade! Gusher! Served from bottle into a COAST Willi. Poured a massively dark browb red-orange with a three finger off-white head that subsided to one finger very slowly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, chile peppers, ancho, earth, cherry, and subtle tart. The flavor was of sweet malt, ancho, chile pepper, earth, earth hop, and very subtle tart. It had a light feel on the palate with very high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. When I first opened this one and had it gush on me, I was rather concerned. When I smelled the beer that was on my hand I was really concerned that this one might be infected. The aroma did unfortunately give off subtle hints of infection which I really hated to see. The flavor only had a very minimal note of it with some nice ancho chile notes. I would recommend any chile beer fan out there try this one at least once and hope that you don't get any of the 'off' notes that I did.

2.84/5 rDev -15%
Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of chocolate malt notes with some cinnamon and some pepper notes thought no heat is discernable. Taste is a mix between some cinnamon and chocolate malt with light nutty flavour and some pepper notes are also discernable though well balanced in the whole mix. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not bad but I guess the pepper notes in beer is not something that I am really seeking out.

Poured from the bottle into a snifter glass at Smoke & Barrel as part of the DC bottle share. From notes.
Fairly dark reddish orange amber body on this, somewhat clear (kind of dark downstairs to see this one) with a faint light tan head. Some mild staying power, attractive looking. Solid.
A surprising mix of senses on the nose for this guy, a sort of sweet berry maybe plum and a bit of roast chili. Mild on the chile and aromatic, kind of like Ahaheim, green skin roast pepper, works nicely.
Palate has a mild green spicy pepper sense and a good caramel flavor. Real nice body behind this beer, we have malt backbone, and the pepper action comes nicely with some bitter mild chocolate too.
Not a face melter, but a real noticeable pepper heat that is tolerable, very aromatic great feel to this beer too. Would have again, or drink it all!

WTF is this??....pumpkin seeds and 3 chilies...cinnamon, cumin, sugar, almonds? Where is the kitchen sink?
Pour is brown with a fine-bubbled tan head. Mild retention and lacing.
The nose is where things get interesting. Holy guacamole! there is just a never-ending managerie of weird aromas and each one can be picked out individually. Specifically the pumpkin seeds, cumin, cinnamon and chilies are most notable. This is honestly the craziest smelling beer I have ever laid nostrils upon.
Taste combines everything about as well as can be, but it still is pretty damn crazy. Not hot, but spicy and the pumpkin seeds are a real standout for me in a good way. The cumin and chilies are an interesting combo that I still havnt wrapped my head around. Honestly, after reading the label, this is better than I thought it would be and does approximate mole fairly well, though it lacks the peanut butter. Not bad.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.
Thanks to wagenvolks for this bottle!
Something about a mole beer gets me all, well, ready to fuckin' drink. Following a bit of an initial eruption, this stuff pours a slightly murky sienna topped by a finger of khaki foam. The nose comprises toasted caramel, raisin, fig, cinnamon, brown sugar, light molasses, smoked peppers (chipotle?), cashews, light pretzel, and a hint of cocoa powder. The taste brings in more of the same, though the spices come to the fore in a big way. In the finish, the chiles hold dominion, not just with their flavor, but also with a twinge of heat that lingers for a few moments. The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta velvety feel. Overall, a very tasty brew. I can't really say that it recreates mole, especially with the general lack of chocolate character, but the rest of it is certainly there. Good times regardless.

Bomber into a snifter. The brew appears a ruby amber color with a finger of khaki head. Some spotty fingers of lace stick to the glass and a swirl revives a finger back to the surface quite effortlessly.
The smell includes a sweetness of raisins and caramel malt almost like brown sugar. Some earthy cinnamon spice along with something like nutmeg and pepper. A little mineral and carbonic quality emerges across the back.
The flavor includes raisins and caramel sweetness almost toasty grainy flavors coupled with toffee and chocolate grain. A fruity hint and spice like nutmeg and cinnamon are present before the earthy spice of pepper. This brew gets a little warming from the peppers and the aftertaste is somewhat salty like a gose.
This is a medium bodied brew with a lower to moderate amount of carbonation. It is very spicy with an awkward amount of contrasting sweetness. It is an interesting offering that sounds good when reading the label but overally really didnt translate well at all in the flavor.

Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at his tasting.
Pours a hazy brown with a foamy beige head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, caramel, and toffee aromas. Taste is much the same with salty and earthy flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer with odd aromas and flavors that make this one not too enjoyable.

Served from a cask
A pours a caramelly red with just a touch of khaki head. No lacing. Head dissipates almost immediately.
S boozey, whisky, spicey, cinnamon, berries.
T very smooth. Orange peel, elderberry, woody, bourbon, caramel. A nice mix of wood and whiskey that doesn't overpower, but adds to the complexity.
M full bodied. Very soft on the palate, from the cask conditiining no doubt.
D very easy to drink.
Overall a really nice beer for xmas in July. The flavors of the barrel aging blends nicely instead of overpowering. The softness of the cask adds to its drinkability.

On cask in a tulip at the Smokehouse on 2/28/11
This critter was aged in Woodford Reserve barrels.
Dense, hazy copper. Thin head with a collar of retention. No lacing.
Sweet bourbon aroma with woodiness, some char and a nip of vanilla. Toasted spiced bread. Some cinnamon and maybe ginger. Wow, tastes really sweet with bourbon but not at all hot. Rather charred. Some sticky fruit notes. Not much spice. More vanilla than in the nose. Totally under control, heat-wise. Medium body; sticky and dense. Super low carbonation; really smooth. Candied finish with a touch of barrel.
Overall impression: the barreling is actually done really well, but the base beer is just ok. Really good, but sweet. I'm glad it isn't overly spiced.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Some local gymnasts are performing with extra energy on Wednesday, the day after the U.S. women won their first Olympic gold medal in 16 years.
It may look like a typical day at River City Gymnastics, but it's not. It's Olympic Day, when you can pretend that you are competing in the Olympics.
"It's like when we go to competitions and stuff; it's really fun because you feel like all eyes are on you," said 13-year-old Summer Devlin.
These girls are holding their own competition. And, it's especially spirited after most of them stayed up late Tuesday night to watch the U.S. women's gymnastics team win the gold medal.
"They were talking all about it," said Brad Epperson, director of River City Gymnastics. "They're really excited. I don't think any of them were around to watch the 1996 Olympics when the women's team last won the gold. They're very excited about it. Watching the gymnasts, they all had their favorites."
And, they drew inspiration from it.
"It encouraged me to work harder so that I can be like them someday," said 12-year-old participant, Sydney Bertschy.
"I really wanted them to win because I'm a fan of all of the people on that team," said Gabi Cyr. "They all inspire me to do better and get to the Olympics."
The director of River City Gymnastics says for young athletes, the Olympics are a great motivator, and they're not bad for business either.
"Every four years our enrollment goes up," said Epperson. "They just kind of rediscover a love for gymnastics, flipping and twisting and tumbling. They just seem to kind of naturally take to it."
And, perhaps four years from now, one of them will be the girls the next generation looks up to.

About 20 feet left of License To Thrill are a pair of near classic 5.10 warm-ups, Caress is the left of the two, but both are worth doing. Not overly bolted, the pump factor can make both of these routes seem a number grade harder. Just stay on your feet and make the big reaches.

By: Felipe Paredes, UMaine School of Marine Sciences
In the marine world, invasive species are very hard to detect and often impossible to eradicate. The key is always in preventing introductions, but if that fails, we need to mitigate impacts where possible. In order to accomplish this we must understand their basic biology and environmental preferences.
Maine's estuaries are unique ecosystems with a long history of introductions of non-native species. These systems have dramatically changed due to introduced mobile species such as the periwinkle snail, L. littorea and the green crab, Carcinus maenas, both introduced centuries ago. Recently, non-native colonial and solitary invertebrates have been increasing in abundance along the coast of Maine! Some of the most common species are ascidians, or "sea squirts," which are filter feeders attached to hard substrates. These recent invaders not only threaten native marine communities but also foul suspended and bottom aquaculture gear (nets, floats, cages) and often successfully compete with cultured shellfish for food and space. Shellfish farmers try to mitigate losses from invasive ascidians by exposing gear to air or by replacing the gear. Both options are time consuming and expensive in materials and labor.
Despite the economic impact of these introduced fouling species to aquaculture, we know remarkably little about what drives the "bloom and bust" in their populations. There are no studies of seasonal timing, distribution in estuaries and rate of colonization by this group. The project "Mitigating invasive ascidian impacts on Maine's shellfish aquaculture industry" has the goal of determining the seasonal patterns in settlement and growth of the dominant non-native ascidians in the Damariscotta River, the heart of Maine's multimillion dollar oyster industry. The basic idea was to collect information to help minimize interactions of invasive ascidians with the shellfish aquaculture industry.
We deployed hundreds of settlement plates at 1 meter depth at different sites along the Damariscotta River (approx. 20 km long) and measured environmental parameters such as salinity and temperature. We found extremely high abundances of invasive ascidians in all areas but with different patterns of dominance. In the upper section of the estuary, with temperatures that can reach up to 25ºC, there is an early settlement (July) and dominance of colonial ascidians such as Botrylloides and Botryllus. The mid sections of the estuary are dominated by solitary ascidians, such as Ciona, Ascidiella and Styela, which settle later (August-September) and add extra weight to aquaculture gear. The lower section of the estuary, with "coastal" salinities and temperatures, is dominated by the short lived Diplosoma, and other colonial species.
Common to all stations was Didemnum, a well-known and aggressive colonial ascidian which adapts to many different conditions. Compared to other estuaries, such as the Kennebec and the Sheepscot – where invasive species are rare or absent , Damariscotta's relatively low freshwater discharges and higher water temperatures might provide benign conditions to invasive ascidians, which nurtured the distribution, abundance and diversity of non-native species in fouling communities. Project funded by Maine SeaGrant.
