Week Eight primer: Falcons-Eagles a game in contrasts
Here are the top 15 story lines for Week Eight as we approach the midpoint of the season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived tight end Zach Miller injured and claimed former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brett Brackett off waivers.||||||| A pass-catching tight end with a history of injuries, Miller will revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. Miller sustained a calf injury late in the preseason and has been sidelined since.
The Jaguars placed Miller on injured reserve Tuesday because of a nagging shoulder injury. They replaced him by signing Martin Rucker off Dallas' practice squad. Rucker was a fourth-round draft pick by Cleveland in 2008.||||||| Miller, a third-year player from Nebraska-Omaha and a sixth-round draft pick in 2009, has missed several games in his short career because of knee and foot injuries. He also missed a game because of a concussion. Miller has 45 receptions for 470 yards and four touchdowns, but injuries have prevented him from taking the next step in his development and have his future with the franchise in question.
Miller is practicing for the first time since minicamp, returning to the field after missing summer workouts with a foot injury.||||||| The team activated Miller from the physically unable to perform list Sunday. Miller ran routes in the morning session, but wasn't sure he would be available for the team's first full-pads practice Sunday night. A former college quarterback at Nebraska-Omaha and a sixth-round pick in 2009, Miller caught 21 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie. He's expected to have a bigger role this fall, especially if he stays healthy.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Miller.||||||| Miller, a sixth-round pick in April's NFL draft, signed his contract Monday, becoming the team's first rookie to do so. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Miller played quarterback at Nebraska-Omaha, where he threw for 4,096 yards and 26 touchdowns while rushing for 3,122 yards and a school-record 50 touchdowns in four seasons.

While the highest level of college football is figuring out how to make a four-team playoff work after more than a century of the bowl system, the highest level to have ever had a NCAA championship game is moving from 20 to 24 teams:
The Football Championship Subdivision is on the verge of expanding its playoff system from 20 to 24 teams by 2013. The proposal would give an automatic bid to all FCS leagues that want one, seeds the top eight teams and gives them first-round byes and home games in the following round.
That would mean adding an automatic bid for the Pioneer League, for one thing, and granting first-round byes to an additional two teams. The SWAC and Ivy don't participate in the national postseason, and the Great West is dropping football.
This will further either concern or anticipation regarding the likeliness of FBS' own playoff system rapidly expanding beyond four teams. Since starting up its tournament in 1978, FCS has been adding numbers to the postseason all along, arriving at 20 only two years ago.
While we're here, let's watch some college football videos from SB Nation's new YouTube channel together:

Regina Hill knew the moment that she threw her hat in the ring to run for public office, her past will surface. She says her long drug and DUI offenses makes her qualified to represent Orlando's district five. "We have a large amount of felons in this community and when they see me they see hope," said Orlando City Commission candidate Regina Hill.The 48-year-old stands strong and confident, despite her criminal history. It dates as far back as 1989, when she was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell."My skeletons are out of the closet. I don't have anymore," she stated.She's had half-a-dozen DUI arrests, but some were dismissed; a number of drug offenses too. The last time she was arrested was in 2009 for contempt of court."I don't think it's going to hurt my campaign. I think I'm the person qualified because I came from this community," said Hill. "I lived a life that over 60 percent in this community has lived. I've walked in their shoes."State records show Hill had her civil rights restored in 2008 by the Florida Parole Commission's Office. That gave her a second chance in life and a chance to run for public office: to represent District Five in the Orlando City Council."It's not about a title. I'm going to city hall to be a servant of the people," said Hill.Hill says she is involved in multiple non-profit organizations that help ex-convicts, the poor, and the homeless. In fact, this ex-felon, Terrell Anderson says she helped him get his life back together."I go to college now. I go to Valencia, and I tell other people through her, we can do this and we can do that so she's been a big help," said Anderson.Despite her past, Hill says she's clean, redeemed, and ready to serve the people."You can criticize me all you want, but I'm on a mission and I won't quit. And my mission is not to get to City Hall. My mission is to become better because of my past and to empower others because of it," said Hill.There are two other candidates running for District Five: incumbent Daisy Lynum and Cynthia Harris. Election Day will be Tuesday, April 8, 2014.

This small-group Madrid Segway tour is limited to eight people, ensuring personalized attention from a guide.
- 1-hour Segway tour of Madrid at night with an expert guide
- Capture the magic of the city at night and see top Madrid attractions illuminated
- Glide around Los Austrias, the historical neighborhood that's often called Habsburg's Madrid
- Explore picturesque squares such as Plaza Mayor and Plaza de la Villa
- See attractions like the Royal Palace of Madrid and Mercado de San Miguel
- Small-group tour limited to eight people ensures a more personalized Segway experience
What You Can Expect
In the early evening, meet your friendly guide and start with an orientation session to get familiar with your two-wheeled, electric, self-balancing Segway. Once you feel comfortable, you'll weave through Madrid's downtown streets, following your guide into the neighborhood of Los Austrias.
While gliding from site to site, enjoy plenty of stops to learn about the history of the historical area and its intriguing sights. Nicknamed Habsburg's Madrid in reference to the countless monuments left by the Habsburg dynasty, Los Austrias is fascinating to explore with stunners such as the Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real) just waiting to be seen. Stop for photos next to the famous mesones -- typical Castilian restaurants – that surround Plaza Mayor, and then continue riding around the city.
Pass Calle Cuchilleros, a street thronged with bustling cafés and restaurants, while working your way to Mercado de San Miguel. By day, the street market is full of gourmet food stalls, but at nighttime the lively bars take center stage. Glide through the picturesque square of Plaza de la Villa, admiring its elegant 17th-century architecture, and then stop for photos at Almudena Cathedral – a building as grand as its official name: Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Almudena.
Head back past the Royal Palace of Madrid, going past the city's illuminated opera house – Teatro Real – while hearing of its status as a national monument. Your tour then finishes at the start point.
Customer Reviews
December 2013
The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Great tour!
December 2013
This was an incredibly fun tour covering the majority of the best sites in Madrid. I loved travelling through the cobbled lane ways and side streets, the sedgways themselves are very fast and intuitive. The guides make sure that your fully prepared before racing through the streets, so you need not worry if you've never used one before. The guides are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and spent much more time with my friend and I than the 90 minute tour we initially paid for. This is a brilliant experience to have in Madrid, it is also much better priced than most sedgway tours we found. Do it, you wont regret it.

Sporting Kansas City played with urgency in the first half and lead Real Salt Lake 2-0 at halftime. Goals from Roger Espinoza and Teal Bunbury are the difference. Sporting must be thrilled that their gameplan is working perfectly. After controlling possession for most of the half, KC peppered Nick Rimando with shots until Espinoza made a run into the box and shot just past an outstretched Rimando in the 26th minute. It is Espinoza's first MLS goal of the season.
The second goal came in the 34th minute off an impressive combination play. Matt Besler put a long throw into the box, Kei Kamara headed it towards goal, and Rimando made a save on it, only for the rebound to go straight to Bunbury. He was unmarked and headed it in. It's Bunbury's second goal in as many games. For RSL, the only decent chance in the half came from Alvaro Saborio, who had a one-on-one chance and blasted it well above the goal.

It's interesting to read other people's interpretation of this beer and how drastically different they are. It just goes to show that we really all taste things differently...it's cool.
Someone gave me this beer to review, gawd bless them, because apparently I've convinced everyone I'm a beer writer now. Well, free beer always tastes better, doesn't it?
This is my take:
Cloudy orange with a nice creamy head that thins fairly quickly but with good retention and nice lacing. Smells bready, cider, pear, coriander and clove. Little to no carbonation, medium body. The taste is surprising - sweet fruitiness – though I can't quite pinpoint which fruit. It's quite refreshing. Tastes of sweet grains and bubblegum, finishing with clove and slight funkiness that's barely detectible and nicely integrated with the flavor. Despite the sweetness, the finish is actually quite dry which makes it very drinkable. Quite a bit of warm booziness, which is a little surprising given it's only a 6% beer (by Northwest standards, this is a moderate alcohol beer). No hop bitterness or tartness at all – as expected from the style.
Overall, I would still rate it in the low to mid-80's. I find it enjoyable. Not stellar, but very good.

St. Druon de Sebourg has a thin, loose, white head and an opaque, bright-orange appearance, with scant lacing and brown yeast pieces afloat. This clouds up even more upon swishing the bottle and pouring in the residual yeast and gunk. The aroma is strong- alcohol, fermented grain, sugar, citrus rind, and dates. Taste is of a similar cast, with an overall old character. Hop bitterness is minimal. Mouthfeel is medium and chewy, and St. Druon de Sebourg finishes mostly dry, mellow, and relatively easy drinking. It is unusual, as bier de garde tends to be, but I rate it excellent, nonetheless.

A - Light orange pour with a bubbly foam head. Plenty of carbaonation here. Translucent and some lacing.
S - Floral smell and a scent of berries is noted.
T - Decent flavor of raspberries and other sweet fruits. Yeast gives it almost a champagne feel.
M - A bit too carbonated and thin for my liking. I suspect this is what turns many off from this beer.
O - This was an interesting pale ale from France that was better than I expected. Not the best example of the style, but worth a shot.

This beer poured out as a decent looking golden color with a white fizzy head on top. The smell of the beer is malty, grainy and some hop aromas in there. The taste of the beer is bitter and slightly sweet. The mouthfeel of the beer is pretty good, decent carbonation and light to medium body. Overall this brew isn't terrible but it's not the best of it's style.

From the caged, corked green 25 fl. oz. bottle marked L9062-08:16. Sampled on November 12, 2011. It looks like a Belgian Pale Ale with its golden pour although the head isn't much. Sadly, this came in a green bottle along with its inevitable skunky aroma that supersedes any decent analysis. After a few whiffs I can get some sweet, candied malts and citrus. The body was very pleasant falling into the medium range with a honey-like smoothness. The taste was a tad better than the aroma with solid sweetness of malts and a mild and appropriate bitterness on the end. I guess I'm glad I bought it for under $7.

Poured into a 0.5L Duvel tulip from a 750mL bottle. No date, but there is a code "L9062 08:17", whatever that means.
A: Beautiful golden color, paler than most. Head is a bit small, probably due to my pour.
S: Smells sweet, and yeasty, slight grain aromas in the background.
T: Much cleaner than the nose would suggest. A very nice easy drinking beer with good Belgian character. Sweeter than I would like, though.
M: A little too slick and thick from the sweetness I suppose.
O: Pleasing, though I guess I am wanting it to be dryer to complement the abv/lighter flavors.

Taking a day off from the madness of Philly Beer Week. So this is a perfect time for Blind BIF #5, Blind Beer #7, from abraxel.
A-Pour is a mildly hazy straw with hints of peach, a frothy off white head and good sticky lacing. It has the color of a kill shot but not sure.
S-Rather light in aroma. A bit of a Belgian yeast sort of aroma but not much going on.
T-Hmmm. Oddly sweet, a bit tangy, a little slick. Not sure what to make of this but I am guessing a Belgian blonde. Though this could be a lager too, really. Not much flavor.
M-Light to medium bodied, a bit slick.
O-Well, it's not undrinkable. But I don't care for it either, really. *Hoping* this is a killshot. Let's see:
Jenlain St. Druon. Well, I did get the style but was not a fan.

A: The beer is hazy golden yellow in color and has a light amount of carbonation; lots of yeast particles are visible floating in suspension. It poured with a finger high bright white head that never quite completely faded away.
S: The smell is very fruity and has aromas of apples and pears along with hints of grainy malts.
T: Like the smell, the initial taste is both fruity and sweet while the finish has a light amount of bitterness and some notes of spices and yeast.
M: It feels light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. There are some hints of dryness in the finish.
D: The beer is easy to drink and the good balance between the sweet and bitter flavors makes the taste rather interesting.

Half-pint at Coles in Buffalo - told it was a hoppier bier d'garde. Arrives a hazy light straw golden color with a little head.
Nose is sweet with hints of lemon and grassy hops. Taste is lemony with a pleasant grassy and lemony hop bitter finish, a sweet almost candy middle from the malt, hints of apples and pears. Drinkable and light, not overly complex and too sweet, needs a drier finish. Drinkable but not overly complex.

12 ounce bottle from the Beer of the Month Club, poured into a Belgian fishbowl glass.
A: Bright yellow color, mostly clear with a wispy white head that recedes quickly.
S: Lots of fruity esters -- apples, lemons, grapes and berries aromas give this a nice bouquet.
T: Lemony tart taste with some yeasty bready qualities. Some grassy and hay flavors as well give this a complex flavor.
M: Lite to medium mouthfeel, well carbonated.
D: Nice, refreshing enjoyable beer that I thought went well in the late weekend afternoon. Would pair nicely with a tossed or caesar salad. According to BOMC, this is an example of the Biere de Garde that the northern French area is known for.

A - Pours a clear golden straw color. Bone-white head that forms a thin ceiling of tiny bubbles.
S - Spicy Belgian yeast, green apples, pears, clove, lemon citrus, sweet wheat.
T - Clean wheat off the top, not as much yeast as the nose described. Bits of green fruit apples, grapes, and pears meld well with the spice. Has a lemon pepper kick towards. Finishes crisp and dry.
M - Effervescent carbonation, light bodied.
The nose is very nice on this one with the yeast and fruit being on the forefront. Wheat as more pronounced in the flavor. Highly drinkable. Very refreshing.

Big creamy 2 finger head over crystal clear honey straw colored.
Nose of light Belgian like malts, light wheat, little banana, creamy malts, light Belgian like fruity yeast, some straw aroma.
Taste is creamy light malts, straw and wheat, some sweet Belgian malts, fruits with banana apricot etc, light crisp malt and hint of farmhouse dry yeast. Finishes drier but sticky creamy mouth finish and lingering malts and light farmhouse wheats and Belgian yeast fruits. Other fruits like apple, pear,vaprocot, etc.
Mouth is lighter with decent carbonation, less than I expected.
Drinkability is ok with sticky slight finish and almost too dry but still creamy but no booze.

The beer pours a dark gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a solid pale malt scent along with a touch of caramel malt sweetness and a dry finish. The yeast gives off some subtle hints of fruit and breadiness. There is also a metallic feel as well. The taste is decent as well. It has a smooth pale and Munich malt flavor with a dry yeasty finish. It tastes almost like a German Octoberfest. There is a faint bready character as well as some hints of yeast fruitiness in the finish. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a drinkable beer, but not one I'd return to.

Got this beer as a part of a Beer of the Month club.
The beer is golden in color and and has a thin white head.
The aroma is sugary sweet with a strong smell of hay along with a hint of apple.
The initial taste is sweet and then immediately turns pleasantly bitter. There is a noticeable apple flavor.
In the middle the beer is dry and seems to evaporate rapidly on the tongue. The taste of the hops comes through at this point.
The taste at the end is still pleasantly bitter and there is a slight hint of lemon.
Overall, I enjoyed the beer. I noticed some bad reviews of this beer, but I have also noticed that some people are referring to this beer as a Belgian Abby style ale when it is actually a French specialty ale. For that reason I compared it more to beers like La Fin du Monde out of Canada rather than the more "candy-like" Belgian ales that I actually favor.

Smokers can select from traditional or flavored nicotine cartridges. A variety of flavors are available in stores, including Grape, Coffee, and Strawberry.

Two players have been most responsible for killing the Los Angeles Lakers in the team's NBA Playoffs series against the Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol. Dirk is averaging 28 points on 56 percent shooting and 10 rebounds per game. Most of that is because Pau is usually the Laker guarding him. Now Dirk isn't known as an all-world defender. But on the other end, Gasol is averaging 13 points per game on 43 percent shooting.
The stunning part isn't that Nowitzki has been so good; he's a former MVP and -- except for one infamous series -- a stunningly good playoff performer. But Gasol has looked like a rookie space cadet on the floor. He guards Dirk tightly (as required) to prevent Nowitzki from receiving the ball ... until the Mavericks set a screen to free him.
Several times during Game 3 on Friday, Gasol floated into no man's land or to the rim once Dallas set a pick and Dirk slid to open space behind the arc. Pau knows he needs to be in Dirk's face ASAP once the pick comes. But once he goes under the screen, he shows zero urgency in recovering. That's what is getting Phil Jackson so upset.
Tom Haberstroh reports that Nowitzki has shot 19-25 (76 percent) when guarded by Gasol in this series. Against other Lakers -- Ron Artest and Lamar Odom, largely -- Dirk is 13-32 (41 percent). On the one hand, why is Jackson leaving Gasol on Nowitzki at all? But Phil should be able to trust his No. 2 player to play smart defense, even if he gets burned a little. Instead, Gasol is doing no better than, say, Derrick Caracter would. (That's not good.)
By the time this series is over, is anyone even going to remember the amazing playoff run Gasol had last year? Nowitzki is still working to clear his name after the 2007 debacle. The Mavericks are on the precipice of becoming Gasol's Warriors.

That bottle of milk you brought this week, could be double the price if the current farm bill expires with action being taken by the legislature, according to a report on dailyfinance.com and aol.com.
The Farm Bill, which was started in 1933, is updated every five years or more. Right now, it is tied up in the legislature and being affected by the Fiscal Cliff negotiations.
The New York Times reported if the present Farm Bill expires, the price equation go to its 1949 standard and government would pay more for milk.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said farmers will be in a hurry to sell to the governament, creating a shortage in the stores. It is estimated the price of milk could go as high as $8 from a current average of $3.69.

The traps use a pheromone to attract male moths, which can cause problems for potato crops. The moths are then counted and collected, Dwyer said.

It's a girl! Mum gives birth at Lakeside
Updated 2:23pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
LAKESIDE welcomed its youngest ever shopper yesterday when a mum gave birth to a baby girl.
A section of the shopping centre outside Primark was cordoned off when the mum went into labour, but while waiting for an ambulance to arrive, baby Deborah arrived around 5pm with the help Lakeside security officer Maggie Webb and her team before being taken to hospital for a full check-up.
Izzie Peskett, marketing manager for the centre, said: "We would like to congratulate the Williams family on the arrival of baby Deborah.
"While a few women have gone into labour here, this is the very first baby that has actually been born in the centre in the 23 years that we have been open. It was an exciting evening for everyone!"
Shoppers have been busy sending in their well wishes for the family through Lakeside's social media channels, even creating the hashtag #LakesideBaby.

ORONO — As the new year arrives, many parents resolve to encourage their children be more active indoors and out, in spite of the colder, shorter days of winter.
Even though it's often a major challenge to keep children engaged in physical activity, exercise keeps kids' minds sharp and ready to learn, reduces stress, keeps kids healthy, and builds healthy lifestyle habits for the future, according to Kate Yerxa, University of Maine Cooperative Extension statewide educator for nutrition and physical activity.
Yerxa offers several suggestions for keeping kids motivated and moving this winter:

I have been curious about this renown Belgian Dark Ale for a long time. It used to be more
commmon in Singapore sometime around 2005. Today I think you only can find it in Brussel Sprouts.
Brussel Sprouts gave me an out of stock answer for more than a month and last weekend I finally
manage to catch the incoming stock (before they even sort things out properly) and grabbed a
bottle gleefully. I poured this wonderful beer in my new Trappist Achel Goblet; it pours out with
a brownish color shade and a medium creamy looking head with average retention. It smells
intensely fruity (like the Westmalle Dubbel) and feels very mellow. When I tasted it, an array of
dark fruits became apparent; the fruitiness is higher than many Belgian dark ales and within this
array of fruits, I could pick up raisins, plums, grapes, apple, berries and what not. It finishes
slightly dry and with a nice fruity punch to end it off. The after taste was another party for
the pellates; it goes strong on plums and berries and after ligering for a bit, it becomes a
grape or raisin like taste; simply wonderful! The taste was generally rich, yet mellow and not at
all alcoholic albeit this one's a 9% ABV; to top things up, it was silky smooth in the mouth and
down the throat with a medium body and an apt light level of carbonation. A thicker body may
have been the factor to perfect this beer but it is really nothing short of a great beer at it's
current level. Fruity, tasty, mellow, smooth Belgian Strong Dark Ales are the way to go for me;
I appreciated this beer whilst listening to chill-out bar style music and it created the
perfect atmosphere. Although I only took one bottle, I am sure that I can have a few of this
at one single sitting!

Appearance Deep, orangish-brown body with a few shades of red. Theres lots of carbonation going on in there along with monster sediment. I controlled the tight, foamy head at the pour, keeping it at about an inch or two, but it took quite some time to dissipate.
Smell I could review the aroma from across the room (although Im not). Alcoholic fruit leapt from the glass. I can pick up some orange and banana along with cherry/cranberry juice. Theres a little bit of spiciness as well. The base of the nose comes after, a complex mix of malts and some light yeast.
Taste The malt flavors come out a little bit more on the tongue, but at first its the fruits that run away with the show. The sediment and orange, along with the alcohol notes, give the feeling of drinking a high class screwdriver (pulp orange juice, dry champagne, and a shot of Grand Mariner). Add to that some smooth banana liquor, sweetened cranberry juice, and a cherry garnish. Plop a dribble of the juice from the cherry jar and there you have it.
Then comes the malt. Nice, ever-so-lightly toasted, sweetened with loads of caramel then balanced with a drop or two of anise. Overall, a very complex mix of flavors working exceptionally well together.
As this warms, the sugars come out in force. Rich, dark drippings of melted toffee, brown and powdered sugar, and overly ripe pears and apricots. It finishes with a strong punch of freshly pressed cinnimmon-laced apple cider.
Mouthfeel Healthy carbonation and a full body keeps the drinking moving at the right pace with this 9.0 ABV juggernaut. This is chewy and sugaring and sticks in between your teeth. Your dentist will hate it.
Drinkability Nothing says, special occasion, like an Abbay des Rocs bottle. This was a real treat.
Comments This was a very sweet BSDA, sweeter than most of the other ones that I have tried. This was really in the same ballpark as their Grand Cru. I thought it could have used a little more malt backbone, but the beauty of beer tasting is in recognizing the habits and characteristics of individual brewers. This is an absolute classic.
Update The 2004 vintage has a few bad bottles going around. I actually think that its an off batch. The ale wasnt flat like it hadnt been bottled properly; it just had an off flavor that I thought made it an overall sub-4.0 offering.
I got a hold of a good 04 bottle and included it as part of a tasting. It really is head and shoulders above all other Belgians that Ive had. This one wasnt quite as heavy on the sweets like the 03 that I reviewed and it was more heavily carbonated, which led me to believe it may have been a bit fresher. Either way you cut it, this is a tremendous brewery and the Brune is one of their better offerings.
Update I popped a vintage 02 for the same taste test that we did the 04. The two years really blended the flavors together more and gave it a huge sweetness that was incredibly smooth. The Grand Cru was in the test also and it was difficult to tell the difference between the 02 Brune and the 04 Grand Cru.

Finally! Ive been searching for this brew for three years. A t every liquor store I go to I find Brune Gran Cru staring back at me. I can never find the regular old Brune, but now, on a random stop in at Steves Liquor Mineral Point, I find one bottle tucked away in the back cooler. How thrilled I am to try this, especially after enjoying the Tripel Imperial and Gran Cru so much.
After a long a bumpy drive through the country, I could not wait for the yeast to settle so I popped this bottle open and let it pour marvelously into my glass. Appearance is stunning. Body is a light red amber with suspended reddened tan yeast particles throughout. Carbonation is ample and a thick white head lasts for several minutes before dissolving, leaving a rather wine like appearance for this beer.
Aroma is wonderfully verdant. Granny smith apple lunges forth from the glass followed by a menageries of other delightful fruit including musk mellon, unripe grapes, and mangosteen. Grass and hay finish the nose.
The flavor is nearly as bold as the nose. Tropical in the extreme and depthfully complex, I feel as though Im on the beach in Thailand drinking rum mixed with fruit punch. There are massive fruits here. Not only can one make out the aforementioned four, but also pineapple and ripe naval orange all rounded out by some sweet caramel malt. Fantastically, this beer is kept far from any hint of cloyingness or fruit overkill by a steady supply hay, barnyard character, and sourdough bread fresh from San Francisco.
The body is vinous and full. Sweet and sour play off each other like Russian chess masters. Drinkable? You betcha!

I'm glad I'm not the only BA who had a bird trying to get the cork out. It took two corkscrews and a cork pull, but that sonofagun finally popped. No wonder. If I were in constant contact with this brew, I wouldn't give it up without a helluva fight either.
Medium-dark amber/copper, with a really neat, really big two-stage head if you pour it right - coarse bubbles near the beer, and a creamy, fluffy off white head atop it. Simply an incredible aroma - fruit, yeast, Belgian esteriness, hints of spice - perfect.
Possibly the most complex brew I've ever tasted. Starts with a very round, fruity (pear, apple, melon, tropical...), and very earthy maltiness, then things get really fun. Cherrylike flavors kick in, along with a healthy yeastiness which brings along even more earthy, estery flavors. The hops kick in towards the end, giving it a solid underlying bitterness, along with more apple and some chocolatey notes. The alcohol makes itself known more as it goes down. The aftertaste is best described as "more, please." I'm glad this is in a 750. I'm sad it's not in a 1.5 liter. Can't wait to try the Grand Cru.
I did notice a slight tongue-numbing sensation after a while, which may be due more to an overindulgence of salt and vinegar chips eight hours ago than anything brought along by this brew.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy copper brown with lots of huge yeast floaties. The head is large white and creamy with good retention and lacing.
The aroma is sugary caramel malts, figs and cherries and wood and alcohol.
The flavor is sugary caramel malts, tart cherries and some vinous alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium and velvety and slightly gelatinous due to the yeast globs.
Overall, a very fine Belgian. It's a little too much on the sweet and sugary side.

This thing has a bit of stank on it. Some woodyness. Low level fruitiness. Poured an deep auburn color with an impressive head. This thing is all about subtelty. Nothing really stands out. There is a definate woody character. Very fully yet silky body. I wonder what this beer tastes like a bit fresher.

33cl brown bottle. Pours into a Belgian goblet a ruby hued cherry wood colour. Quite impressive. Healthy beige head with patchy sheet lacing. Aroma is interesting. Freshly tanned leather, a new aroma to me, is apparent. Apple molasses, served with cinnamon butter, on banana bread is the taste I'm getting, as well as the aroma. Fascinating! Toffee and caramel also jump into the profile.Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and is appropriately carbonated. Taste has some of the best malt notes I've ever experienced. This one will proudly reside in my top ten. Very similar to a Rochefort 10.

Large bottle, capped and corked. Oh baby, this is my kind of beer, alot going on! Pours dark, murky and very cloudy, with a S*&% load of floating sediment. Nose is of burnt malts, ripe fruit, licorish and funkyness, Head is light tan, with amazing retention, frothyness, density, and creamyness. it was as thick as shaving cream for awhile. Respectable, thick and well developed lacing left sticking to the glass.
Lovely smooth mouthfeel, light and velvety on the tongue, coating the entire mouth and throat.
Tastes of rum, fruits of a thousand nations, vanilla, honey, light maple syrup. Yum Yum The yeast at the botom of the glass, adds a further layer of complexity to the mix. Nutty, smooth, heady stuff!
World class brew, seek out and enjoy!
The term "Nectar of the Gods" comes to mind
(Also a huge bargain- $6.99 @ American bev. in Bklyn NY)

The beer pours a medium brown color with a cream-colored head. There are huge chunks of yeast that come out of the bottle. (I also got this is then Grand Cru from this brewery.) Not very appetizing. The aroma is brown sugar and dark fruit. The flavor is dark fruit, alcohol, brown sugar, yeast and some darker malts. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Dark brown with hint of mahogany, sandy head s fine but doesn't stick around; specks of yeast are visible. Mash-up of prunes, dates, root beer, dark cherry, and lightly burnt caramel in the aroma. Buttery texture. Getting cherry, earthy root, lightly bitter dark chocolate, rich caramel - basically everything in the scent and more. Spices like pepper and nutmeg.
Exactly what you'd expect from a proper Belgian brune, warm, complex, full flavour with a soft, smooth mouthfeel - everything done right

Hazy brown appearance, big creamy head, almost orange tinged. Laces and laces and laces -- thick styrofoam sheets. Fanatastic aroma, perhaps the best smelling beer I've yet to witness, winey with plum and masterful yeast notes. Great mouthfeel as well, prickly carbonation but laying on the tongue with gravity so that the flavors just pop up in their order. Tastes of prune, peach, red wine, hay that's been bailed for two months, anise. Could be just a shade brighter but very good. Dries to a bready and lightly bitter finish (some expresso) and the alcohol warming is just about right. High, high marks in practically all categories, great to see it in Minnesota again. Geez, even the cork under the cap was of the highest quality!
Later Note: A lot of suspended and gloppy protein flakes, far beyond a spray of yeast seems to be dogging recent bottles of this beer.

3.7/5 rDev -12.5%
Appearance: A vibrant glowing ruby brown tone with a tan thicket of frothy foaming head, leaving thickets of scattered bars of lacing just amazng appearance. Aroma: Doughy yeast spreads into a vegetable tone with a warming musky combonation of alcohol and yeast notes simply nothing like it out there in my opinion. A floral pine musty hop with a decadence of following flavor what a complex belgian style ale. Taste: Musty stir fried vegetables especially peas and carrots but somehow it works as a flavor with a woody finish and genuine sweet vegetables, it's a big question mark of what the fuck happened to this beer. Mouthfeel: Fuller bodied orgininal true to a mindblowing experience of flavor brew, very interesting could take some getting used to. Drinkability: Althought musky this beer does every questioning to one's senses I can imagine, wow I guess all I can say is try it and hope I am ready for this caliber of complexity.

750 ml bottle served in a St. Bernardus snifter.
A: Poured with a thick creamy light tan head on top of a reddish-brown body that has lumps of dark soft solids floating about. Not appealing, but the solids have no nasty effects on feel or flavor, and settle to the bottom anyway so that they could be avoided ... that is, if the beer wasn't so darn good you'll want every drop. Still, a downgrade on looks; it remains high due to the stellar head and lacing.
S: Smell is bready-fruity-floral, with hints of cumin, orange juice, and champagne. Some additional, more earthy and less attractive alcohol esters.
Taste: rich, even given the aroma, and mainly fruity and spicy, although the flavor is subtle and complex. Making appearances are raisins and dates, dark bread, coriander, cumin, ginger and oranges. There's a faint hint of smoke in the aftertaste. This beer is rather sweet but the bitter/sweet blend seems on the spot.
M: Body seems medium-full and, at the same time, light and airy. Very very soft. Only a soft alcohol heat despite 9% ABV.
O: superb; a real treat.

Serving from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appears reddish brown with so much sediment it's like extra-pulpy oj.
Smell is a bit funky.
Taste is absolutely delicious; funky, smooth, relaxing with a slight alcoholic aftertaste to round it out.
Mouthfeel is smooth with a slight carbonation.
It is dangerously drinkable for it's abv. Drinker beware! This is some seriously good stuff.

Bottle purchased from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours a slightly hazy chestnut brown color with loads of floaties and a half-finger light brown head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of brown sugar, caramel malts, and hints of raisins. As it warms the brown sugar aromas strengthen and slightly bready malt aromas make an appearance.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sweet brown sugar and caramel flavors up front with dark fruits lurking in the background. As it warms the flavors become a bit more fleshed out and the sweetness subsides. The ending is definitely on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a smooth thickness with soft and grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing the bottle and could have another glass.
Overall I ended up buying a second bottle of this after being accosted by yeast in the first bottle however the second bottle was more of the same. I would think it would be better without all of the yeast but even as it is it's worth a shot.

Appearance is medium brownish with some hint of red and almost opaque due to it's being a bit cloudy. Head is very full and a slow pour is essential to keep it from over flowing. It is right on target for a Belgian Red.
It has a real fresh aroma that is quite fruity and the nose stayed to the bottle of the glass and is good enough to be enjoyed on its own.
Taste somewhat winey but with the fruity aroma combines with the taste to give it wonderful character. The mouth is fairly high viscosity but with most of the carbonation stayng in the head it lightens up as the head stay to the bottom.
This brew and this style really pont out the need to have the correct glass to enjoy. A large mouth goblet or large snifter make this a great afterdinner brew.

(Served in a chalice)
Best before 2008
A- This beer has a thick creamy light tan head on top a slightly dense warm reddish-brown body that has big lumps of jetsam slowly gliding around the body unaffected by the strong carbonation of tiny bubbles. No matter how gentle or slow the pour large lumps continued to flow with each glass.
S- The smell of light brown sugar and champagne notes has a light perfume honey note. The finish has a nice light spice note with some faint toffee hints.
T- This beer has a light caramel malt sweet flavor with some light cider and sweet champagne notes. There is a light sweetened condensed milk note in the finish with a nice alcohol note. The finish has a very light bitter hint that goes well with the alcohol.
M- This beer has a light airy mouthfeel with a light zing at the finish that is not really alcohol or tartness. There is also a soft alcohol heat after that which is nice at cleaning up the beer.
D- This is the lumpiest beer I have ever drunk. I didn't taste the lumps or even feel them in my mouth, I only saw them during the pour and in the body. The beer was so tasty that I didn't mind the lumps. This beer had a soft flavor but there were lots of layers and some nice complexity. The sweetness was also soft but balanced with the alcohol heat. Very nice and goes down very smooth.

Well now, this is an interesting little find. Belgians aren't usually the direction my tastes go towards, but this one is unexpectedly good. Appearence is a strange sort of light red carmel, not quite like anything I've ever seen before. Highly carbonated, so watch out when you uncork this one.
The smell isn't half bad either. Not as strong as it could be, but it does have a nice light maltiness, with a hint of citrus. The citrus comes out fairly strongly in the taste itself, without being too overwhelming. At heart, it's really not anything unusual, but is more a straight, few frills, Belgian Ale done to near absolute perfection.
Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, considering the ABV on the brew. This is perhaps the most drinkable 10% ABV I've encountered in recent memory.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best before 02/12/2013.
A: Pours a cloudy ruby with lots of chunks and a 1 finger dense white head. Leaves a real nice head, doesn't dissipate past 1/8" throughout the glass. No real lacing.
S: First there is a woody lemon and yeast. Orange and raisin, maybe some fig. A hint of booze but really not much. A breadiness to it.
T: A cereal malt taste with dark fruits and a hint of hop. Almost a maple syrup taste to it. Very well balanced. A nice malt/fuirty belgian beer.
M: Fairly light yet a dense feel in the mouth. Crisp and easy drinking. Could use some more carbonation. Booze is well hidden.
Overall a well balanced and drinkable dark ale. The aroma is very tasty and lends to a drinkable brew.

O: rich, complex and strong beer with powerfull maltiness, balanced with alcohol and spiceness.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was basking in the relative anonymity Wednesday at the NFL Experience, goofing around with kids at one of the drill stations and signing autographs.
Brown was caught flatfooted when a reporter asked him, "What's the funniest thing a kid has said to you?" He didn't have to wait long for an answer.
"Can you tell us where Reggie Wayne is?" a fifth-grader, who had just walked up, asked Brown.
"That's it right there," he said, laughing.
It was kids, kids and more kids Wednesday at the Indiana Convention Center, as 38 classrooms of fifth- and sixth-graders enjoyed a morning at the NFL Experience, courtesy of the NFL's Play 60 Challenge.
Each of the kids had taken a pledge to spend 60 minutes a day doing something active. Their reward was rubbing shoulders with a bunch of NFL players and skipping all of the usual lines at the Experience.
And yes, Reggie Wayne was in the house.
"Man, I did that Xbox Kinect for two hours this morning, and I am still sweating," the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver said during a convocation, as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Colts owner Jim Irsay looked on.
From the NFL to first lady Michelle Obama, childhood obesity gets a lot of press these days, and it's not surprising.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years, and 20 percent of kids ages 6-11 were considered obese during the last major study, released in 2008. That same study suggested more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.
Valerie Leak, an Indianapolis parent who was chaperoning her daughter Emily's fifth-grade class, said she had "all kinds of strong opinions" on why so many kids are overweight.
"I just think kids need to have movement, and it's the parents' responsibility," she said. "That's the nicest way I can say it."
The host of kids at Wednesday's event only sat still for the news conference and convocation, then jumped back on their feet when Nickelodeon star Leon Thomas III came out to sing.
Irsay was perhaps the best speaker at the convocation, recalling his days growing up in the Chicago area.
"We would go out, and no matter what the temperature was, we would go out near the lake, on a field of snow, and play all day long," he said.
"We mostly played 'killball' — but you shouldn't do that — it's when whoever gets the ball gets killed, usually on concrete," Irsay said.
The good news for health advocates is that the focus on childhood obesity seems to be paying off in different areas of school physical education and nutrition.
According to the Journal of School Health's comprehensive school health programs and policies studies, the percentage of schools serving deep-fried potatoes dropped from 40 percent in 2000 to 19 percent in 2006.
And the percentage of elementary schools requiring physical education increased from 83 percent to 93 percent in the same period.
More states are requiring that kids be allowed recess activity as well, after a period in which many schools traded recess for additional classroom time, according to the study.
The kids at Wednesday's event, who all got T-shirts, all the autographs they wanted, a box lunch and a cool access pass lanyard, probably didn't care much about the statistics.
Perhaps some of them were like Irsay, who confessed to being a "chubby kid" when he was around age 10.
"I ate too much," he said. "But then I got used to working out, and it changed my life."
Kate McNulty, a fifth-grader at St. Jude School on Indy's south side, said it wasn't very hard to commit to the Play 60 pledge. A basketball and volleyball player, McNulty beat Wayne handily in a Kinect Sports foot race.
"You won because I was tired!" Wayne complained afterward. McNulty didn't mind the sore-loser stuff, she just asked for Wayne's autograph.
Over where Brown was standing, one of the volunteers, Susan Riggs, asked to take a picture with the Steelers' star.
"You tell your mama she did a good job with you," Riggs said. "Some of these athletes won't talk with the kids like you do."
Over at the Punt, Pass & Kick station, Colts defensive back Brandon King was having a ball. The funniest thing a kid said to him Wednesday?
"Are you real?" he said, not missing a beat.
"Just seeing the look on their faces, and seeing them smile, it feels real good," he said. "A lot of them have probably never seen an NFL player. I know I never did when I was growing up."
