Big thanks goes out to micstache for this one as an extra in a recent trade! Served from bottle into a Duvel Quinze tulip. Poured a hazy golden yellow-orange with a three finger fluffy off-white head that subsided to one finger extremely slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, basil, grapefruit, fruit, citrus, and spices. The flavor was of sweet malt, basil, citrus, grapefruit, fruit, and spices. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a decent brew. The spicines on this one in my opinion really took over and dominated this brew in my opinion. Basil was the very first thing that hit me upon the first sip and it did not release its grip on my tongue all the way through. I can say that the grapefruit was the dominate aroma though as during the process of cracking open the beer I was hit in the face from the aromas coming from the bottle. Not a lot of balance going on though. Kind of a shame as this one could have definitely been a great brew with a little work on that aspect. Definitely worth trying for yourself though. Tick.

The second in Sonoran's four-part Chef Series of brews , FFF was created in partnership with Chef Eddie Matney, owner and head chef of Eddie's House in Scottsdale. Turns out Matney and Sonoran Brewmaster Zach Schroeder share a hobby: fly fishing. The pair came up with the brew's unique recipe -- which features brown sugar, basil and juice from grapefruits grown by Schroeder's family in Tucson -- while sharing stories and favorite fishing spots.
Though the FFF moniker was chosen to honor Chef Eddie's three greatest passions in life -- family, food and fly fishing -- there are several other three-letter combinations that better describe this creative brew.
GGG, as in graceful, gold and good-looking. Poured into a tulip glass, floating particles blur the gilded liquid only slightly, giving it the look of goldenrod as viewed through morning mist. One inch of mountainous foam pops slowly, marking the glass with meandering trails of white lace. The bottle design is as attractive as the beer within, and was designed by Ellison Keomaka, a Phoenix-based artist.
BBB, as in holy behemoth basil, Batman! Partaking in FFF's aroma is akin to burying your face in a salad bowl filled with basil leaves -- the air above the brew is permeated with piquant herbs. Below the basil onslaught are notes of black pepper and some semi-sweet dough. It smells like a slice of pizza. The flavor is similarly crammed with basil, though here grapefruit juice lends sweetness and a mild citric bite. Flatbread, a little red apple and peppercorns galore meld before a mild, musty malt finish.
DDD, as in dilute, delicate and dangerous. Dilute thanks to the light, watery body, which is thin and nearly devoid of carbonation -- a light electric tingle on the tip of the tongue is all the indication of bubbles. Delicate because the brew retains a softness that dances across the tongue in ballet shoes. Dangerous because without even a trace of alcohol, an entire 22-ounce bottle goes down with ease. Altogether, it's less like a beer in this regard and more like a basil tea. 3
AAA, as in a rating. Bright, refreshing and unique, FFF is a tasty brew, but there is a qualifier -- you have to enjoy basil. Like, a lot. If you have no problem with your beer burps tasting like you just pounded dinner at the Olive Garden, you should be fine.

Wright and Raynes set for returns
9:20am Saturday 1st March 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Skipper Jake Wright is one of four players in contention to return from injury to boost Oxford United's squad at Rochdale today.
Both he and fellow centre back Michael Raynes returned to training this week after recovering from knee and hip injuries respectively.
Forwards Deane Smalley and Dave Kitson are also in the frame following minor hamstring problems.
Caretaker boss Mickey Lewis said: "Raynesy and Jake have a chance of being involved, it's just seeing if there is any reaction to the training.
"It would be good to have them in the squad at least."
Tom Newey is still suspended, but if Wright is available he could fill in at left back, while Raynes's return would probably see Sam Long drop to the bench.
Rochdale: from Lillis, Rafferty, Cavanagh, Lancashire, O'Connell, Rose, Lund, Done, Allen, Henderson, Hogan, Vincenti, Porter, Kennedy, Donnelly, Gray, Eastham, Thomson.
Oxford Utd: from Clarke, Hunt, Raynes, Mullins, Wright, Wroe, Rose, Ruffels, Potter, Constable, Kitson, Connolly, Smalley, Williams, Rigg, O'Dowda, Davies, Long, Bevans, Henly.

Nashville taxpayers will have to fork out $300,000 to fix flood damage at the state fairgrounds all because Metro simply failed to ask FEMA for the money.
The fairgrounds has been the object of debate for years over funding and treatment of the facility, and like a lot of places, it was damaged in the historic May 2010 flood.
However, unlike for other places, the city did not request federal money to fix damage at the fairgrounds.
Now, more than three years later, much of the asphalt at the fairgrounds remains covered in pot holes and one of its main access bridges remains closed due to the water damage.
"It's unlevel, and it's worse as you get closer to the road," said Rick Williams, with the group Save Our Fairgrounds.
The city believes it would take $300,000 to fix the paving issue, but back in 2010, the city did not apply for any grants from FEMA that would have paid to fix the fairgrounds.
"Unfortunately, we were looking at closing, so nobody wanted to put money into something that might be mothballed anyway at that time," said fairgrounds executive director Buck Dozier.
Since then, 71 percent of voters said they wanted to save the state fairgrounds, and for those who fought the mayor to keep it, they question Metro's motivation in the flood recovery.
"My reaction would be you should still take care of your property. Maybe the person who was going to buy it wouldn't want these here. And then you neglect your property when you could get federal dollars," Williams said.
The man runs the fairgrounds says there was no plot to ignore the fairgrounds.
"The conspiracy theory would not fit at all. It was purely a timing issue," Dozier said.
The $300,000 is in the mayor's budget, and this caught the attention of many. Dozier said he has a wish list of several things that would cost $1 million, and he thinks they would make the fairgrounds a real moneymaker.

Hey, look. Abby Wambach scored another clutch goal in the Women's World Cup. With 13 minutes gone in extra time against Japan, the United States sharpshooter headed in a goal not even a second after Ian Darke predicted the USWNT's strategy.
Video, via @jose3030:
Pretty much everybody has tweeted ABBY HAM-BACH at least once over the past month.
Whatever happens over the match's last few minutes, Wambach will have scored in four straight contests. She's also the oldest player to ever score in a WWC Final, one goal shy of the US tournament record and tied for the 2011 Cup's scoring lead.

What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
What's with all these stories coming out saying the Bucs get no pass rush ?? Don't they know Biggs has been counting "hurries" on PFF and has declared the pass rush as satisfactory ?
If you weren't such a simpleton, you would have seen my multiple posts saying you were right.
I don't understand. Can you get out the crayons and construction paper again?
The stunts and twists have helped the Bucs generate pass rush (Both of Teo's sacks have come on a great stunt) McCoy is using it as a crutch as to why his play has slumped. He wasn't saying crap when he had three sacks early in the season.Shut up an play the defense, Gerald.
Bump.This topic is why they didn't beat manning. Did they even touch him once?

Still Crazy: Ted Turner Favors Global One-Child Policy for 100 Years
By Tim Graham | June 09, 2012 | 07:47
LifeSiteNews reports that CNN founder Ted Turner is still valiantly holding to his belief that the world is dramatically overpopulated, despite the fact that his pet Paul Ehrlich theories about a "population bomb" causing massive "die-backs" never occurred.
When he was bothered on the street about his ideal population number for Earth, Turner insisted he would like to reduce the world's population by five billion people, imposing a policy mandating a "one child family…for 100 years."
"I think two billion is about right," Turner said as he walked briskly away. Last year, the number of people in the world reached seven billion.
Before disappearing around the corner Turner said he hoped to eliminate five billion people through the "one child family." The interviewer responded, "One child policy." Turner answered, "For 100 years."
It's easy to forget the anti-capitalist, anti-American propaganda Turner used to foist on the airwaves to push this agenda. Twenty years ago, CNN was airing a month-long series called "The People Bomb" on alleged overpopulation. Here's a taste:
Anchor Susan Rook began the story: "Our month-long series on global overpopulation begins with CNN's Mark Walton's report on responsibility. When it comes to damaging our world, you may be surprised at who's to blame."
Walton continued: "Picture the developing world. Too many people on the edge of survival. Fouling the land, water, air. Compounding a crisis of poverty. It is the very face of overpopulation. But what about this? It's a middle-class suburb outside San Francisco called Pleasant Hill. And it really is a nice place to live: nice houses, nice cars, plenty to eat. The size of an average household is about 2.4 people. Certainly a place like this has nothing to do with overpopulation. Or does it?"
The rest of the piece, salted only with [Sierra Club chief Carl] Pope and [Paul] Ehrlich, theorized that industrialized nations and their conveniences are much more destructive than the Third World. Ehrlich explained: "Generally one can say that the birth of a baby in the United States is on the order of thirty times as big a disaster for things like global climate change, the ozone layer, acid precipitation, and so on, as a baby born in a poor family in Nepal, Bangladesh, Colombia, or whatever."
Even American environmental do-gooders were condemned. Walton faulted the family they spotlighted in California: "The Bakers are conscientious waste recyclers, with special bins for cans, bottles, and newspapers. Still, the very lifestyle that demands such materials traps them in a cycle of environmental destruction."

There's nothing wrong with it, but you can't force people to stop breeding. It's in our very nature to reproduce. It's in our genes. Any attempt to control that is going to fail, miserably. The only way you'll ever control the population is to kill off the "excessive" people, and that's not going to happen. Hitler tried that with the Jews in Europe in the 40's, and look how that turned out. There's more Jews alive in Europe now than in the 40's, despite his attempts to eradicate them completely.
Of course, it's not necessary for us to try to control our own population levels. Nature will do it for us. Nature, as always, will find the perfect balance. We just haven't reached a tipping point. And it looks like we won't reach one for a long time yet.
Look at it from the other direction: What's wrong with a global population of, say, 15 trillion? Nothing. If we can reach that number then it's obvious that we can support it. There's no arbitrary level that we need to achieve and maintain. Biology is a self-maintaining process. Left alone, a sustainable level will be achieved and maintained all by itself.

Williams made short work of Turner's idea, and this is the kicker: "If the entire world's population moved to Texas, California, Colorado and Alaska, each family of four would enjoy nine-tenths of an acre of land."

With under 7 Billion people in the world, we could comfortably place everyone alive in Texas with over a thousand square feet per person (yeah, that doesn't consider roadways or anything). Ted Turner's houses, therefore, could accommodate more than a few of them!
In fact, if you took the entire population of the world, shoved them shoulder to shoulder in New York City, they'd still fit! Be the biggest, smelliest mosh pit EVER...
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

If the fertility rates are dropping, as even you admit that they are, then it is impossible for a population to "skyrocket." That would necessitate a large increase in fertility rates. A drop in fertility rates means that the population is stabilizing.

#24 "Sustainable population levels"
Submitted by CobraMan on Sun, 06/10/2012 - 11:16am.
Every time I hear someone lament about how we need to reduce the world's population, they always claim that it's because it's unsustainable," I keep thinking about how the global population is continually rising, which negates the theory that the current population is "unsustainable."
If it truly were unsustainable, as they keep insisting, then, obviously, the population would be reducing, not increasing. As it is increasing, it is obvious that, not only are is the population levels "sustainable," they're actually low enough that we can add to it, which is what we're doing. What is the "sustainable" level? I don't know, but I know that we haven't reached it yet. We can "sustain" a population level much higher than it is today.

Ted's first commandment: "1. MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE." - Georgia Guidestones.
To get human population down to the number the New Agers want in 100 years would require a decrease in human population of 55 million per year.

Oh, boy, that'll f*** Social Security to the wall, which will take all the entitlement programs with it and raise retirement age to 70 or 75, which will have the effect of freeing up fewer jobs through attrition, slowing down the typical increase in an employee's salary over time, etc.

For everyone from beginners to Tour players, the combination of a large, forgiving head, Trajectory Tuning™ Technology, and a speed-generating shaft makes the adjustable G25 driver a sound choice for improving distance and accuracy off the tee. You can add or subtract one-half degree of loft on the standard 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12° settings to optimize launch conditions for maximum distance.
Unlocking your ability to fine-tune trajectory through a lightweight, streamlined adjustable-hosel design makes it easy to optimize launch conditions for maximum distance. It's the largest-profile, most forgiving head design PING has ever developed.
Using a PING wrench, you can add or subtract one-half degree of loft. The adjustable-hosel design maintains the same outer diameter and mass of PING's fixed hosels. Ultra-thin crown technology distributes weight to the perimeter, positions the CG lower and farther back than any PING driver to date, and increases MOI. Our TFC 189D high-balance-point shaft helps generate clubhead speed and ball velocity, resulting in longer drives.
Large, Forgiving Head
The 460cc Ti 8-1-1 head is PING's longest and most forgiving, a confidence-inspiring design for gaining yards with the highest degree of accuracy.
Trajectory Tuning Technology
The ability to fine-tune trajectory makes it easy to optimize launch angle and spin rate for maximizing distance. Using a PING torque wrench, you can add or subtract 1/2 degree of loft to the 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12° degree heads.
Performance Engineering
The lightweight adjustable hosel has the same outer diameter and mass of PING's traditional fixed hosels and provides the benefits of adjustability (±1/2°) without sacrificing the performance that's often lost in clubs with larger, bulkier hosel designs. It is highly aerodynamic for generating clubhead speed and ball velocity to achieve greater distance.
Solid Feel and Sound
Structural reinforcements in the crown, sole and skirt lend support and provide a solid feel and sound.
High-Balance-Point Shaft
To generate longer drives, the TFC 189D features extreme high-balance-point technology, which places the CG closer to the grip end, enabling you to swing a clubhead with more mass at the same speed, generating faster ball speeds for longer tee shots.

Thanks to orfeu for picking this up for me while in Nebraska,first off normally I am not a big fan of the style but this, this is awesome.Poured a hazed brugundy spiked with tawny brown a well defined slight off white head atop leaving one ring around my oversized wine glass.Complex to the hilt in the nose so much stuff going on I almost dont know where to begin,tart sour cherry and vanilla I would say are most prominant then the subtle stuff shows thru sherry,phenolic clove,nutmeg,pepper its all there.Quite tart at first it takes a minute to take it in then I start to pick vanilla and a real peppery presence a touch phenolic spiciness finishing with a saltiness that sticks and really hits the back of the tongue whoo!Wow what can I say it seems like each sip gives off something new,as I stated before not a style I go for much but damn how can you not at the very least respect this bad boy,a real gem.

Appearance This ale came out of the bottle a beautiful reddish-brown in color. The head was modest but pitted well.
The above description doesnt do this justice. The liquid is thick and a bit hazy with some live carbonation. The edges are tainted with a pinkish peach color that is very unique. Its hard to describe, but in an understated way this ale is gorgeous.
Smell The big sour notes come on strongly right out of the bottle. Its not like lemon, though. Its more like a spritzy, tart sourness that is of course heavily-laden with fine woody notes.
There is some serious sweet and sour action going on here as well. The toasted grainy malts and wood meld with this aroma to make a beautiful bouquet.
Taste Ah, this is a good one. The sourness eases up a bit at the taste. Its quite inviting with a little more malt than I picked up from the nose. The wood is almost all smell and hardly comes across at the tongue. This is a complex and interesting beer.
Mouthfeel This is in between light and medium-bodied with a good but measured sourness and some modest but very tight carbonation. The carbonation really was a highlight for me. New Belgium did an incredible job in this area.
Drinkability This is almost like sipping on an Applejack-infused peach champagne spritzer. It really is subtlety at its best, and a lot of brewers interested in getting into this style could learn from the modest nature of New Belgiums approach.
Comments I aged this 2004 vintage for a bit then popped it for my 1,400th review. It really is a unique and tasty ale that definitely deserves a look if you enjoy Red or Bruin Sour Ales.

Poured into a tulip at Toronado in San Francisco. Wow, to say that I am impressed is an understatement. I am completely floored. To think that this was produced in Colorado of all places? I would never have dream this beer to come from anywhere but Flanders. I am so happy with this beer that I find it difficult to put it into words. If I could, I would drink this every day.
Appearance is brilliant. Utterly transparent rose amber body with red copper hues. Assertive carbonation with an ultra long lived pink head. Nose is acidic, containing oak, melon, and sour apples. Taste is tart funk, a blend of rotten cherries, moldy apricot, green apple skins, and Roquefort blue cheese. Mouthfeel is a bit chalky but otherwise difficult to put a handle on. There are so many conflicting sensations going on. Sweet, sour, tart, wet, dry, light, full Im all mixed up and I like it. I want to drink a lot more of this.

On tap at the Oak Cafe. Pours a deep copper-ruby red hybrid letting spotty amounts of light shine through; tan head, decent retention, minimal lacing. Aroma lifts up heavily from the glass with tart apples, strawberries, and a large assortment of sweet and tart fruits popping everywhere. Slight wet-wood and funk scents around the edges, however its very light and certainly overthrown by the cornucopia of fruit.
Taste is initially tart and sour on the very tip of the tongue, pucker inducing; ripe strawberries, green apples, sour cherries, and a huge assortment of other berries dance around the palate. Tart and sour flavors mellow out within a few seconds and turn into a lasting sweetness. Some mild yeast in the background, if nothing more than a foundation for the fruits to build in, it works well. Lots of carbonation, crisp and surprisingly dry, thin-medium body, more on the medium side I would say.
Great sour ale from New Belgium. It's hard to get great sours in the US sometimes, especially ones that are readily available. La Folie isn't cheap, but it's worth picking some up each year when it's released. Authentic fruit flavors are the key - this one nails it. I happen to like sour fruits, and this hit the spot.

Clear dark reddish brown with a small off-white head that leaves small lacings.
The smell is acidic with tart berry notes and rather prominent notes of caramel. Notes of funky barrel and vinegar as well as some spices and toffee.
The flavor has an interesting and enjoyable mix of sweet chewy malts and a prominent acidity. Aromas of toffee, gentle muted notes of bread. The acidity takes center stage in the middle with nice tart cherry notes, some lemon and vinegar. Notes of grass. The finish is a bit sharp and vinegary with notes of bitter grass and minerals.
Medium body, smooth oily mouthfeel.
Nice one. Complex and interesting. I like how the malts shine through at first.

Being a big fan of Flemish Reds I was extremely excited to try La Folie during a tour of the New Belgium Brewery (highly recommend the tour if in the area). After polishing off several other samples to warm up I was finally ready for the big dog. Smell is INTENSE to start, Belgian funk, vinegar, some sour fruit. First sip was so sour and flavorful I honestly couldn't even decide if I liked it. Second helped my mouth adjust a little, and by the third I was completely hooked. Just an explosion of carbonation, sour fruits and yeast every time. If you like sour beers you absolutely have to track this down; when I was at the Brewery 750ml bottles were still availible for purchase.

I took the bottle out of the fridge about 15 minutes before popping the new and improved 22oz bomber and pouring into a NB snifter.
A- Brown with a ruby glow and a small tan head.
S- Mouthwatering aroma. Rhubarb, whipped cream(vanilla), black cherry.
T- The taste is an extravaganza for your tongue.
Intense sourness right off the bat. As that fades subtleties from the oak come in to play with ripe fruit(raspberry, strawberry).
M- Dances on the tongue with a sharp knife-like acidity and finishes dry and tannic.
D- This blend tastes especially good. I've been a fan of this beer since the first time I tried it. In my top five.

This malt double had a sweet and sour taste. It reminds me a lot of soy sauce, but it also gives off a blackberry taste. It's aroma is very strong and unique just like vinegar.
Color: Dark
The reason why this beer is dark is because the malt has been roasted.

750ml bottle. #04-2815.
Copper red pour with good clarity and a half inch of eggshell head on top. Active carbonation rises up. Brown sugar, cherry and big wood tannins fill the nostrils alongside the bright sour, acidic aroma wafting off the beer. Vinegar funkiness on the backbone.
Somewhat spicy upfront with brown sugar and cherry accents. Big woody tannins and oak barrel accents rush across the palate as it flows down with a kick of funky, mouth puckering sourness and some acidic vinegar tones, leaving a lingering sour, fruity aftertaste.
This is one of my all time favorite sour beers and I always enjoy it each and every time I get to sample it. A great bottle to share with friends as well. If you enjoy sour beers this is one your need to try sooner than later!

The best thing about La Folie - the lack of hype around it.
This is one of the better sours I have had and one of the best of the flanders red style, too. Here is a beer with year round availability, awesome consistency and an overall killer taste, but since you dont have to beg borrow and steal for it, it goes under the radar.
Worst thing: the price. I guess I am the jerk here but for about $15 a bomber (tax=crv), its a little costly. I understand that barrels=$$$ but I would love for new belgium to knock the price on this one down a touch. All in all though, great sour and considering some of the flanders style's I have paid $20 and up for, I, 9 out of 10 times, finish the bottle and say "yea but I would just rather la folie and $5 in my pocket"

1.68/5 rDev -51.9%
Warning - despite the current forum conversation about rating beers you don't like, I've got to get this out of my system.
Pour: Awesome looking (albeit extremely expensive - $7.50) 6oz bottle to 1.5oz crystal liqueur glass. Looks like an over-aged red wine, a sappy brown color with red hues and absolutely no head.
Nose: Very strong notes of both scotch and wine, chocolate, and fresh fruit (grape). Very strong presence of alcohol. Really an interesting aroma for a beer, and it excited me about tasting it.
Mouth: Okay, I think this is where the controversy comes in. I couldn't drink this stuff. With no carbonation, this tasted like a shot that was half scotch and half vinegar and that had a peppery alcoholic kickback. Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about this style, but I have to add my opinion. This was a repugnant beer that I need never try again.

6oz bottle acquired in trade with Jetsbeer. Thanks for the opportunity. Gold foiled cap.
Poured in a Rapscallion glass, poured a totally still almost opaque root beer brown brew. Aroma is boozy scotch, with oaky notes. Almost scared to take a sip, maybe I'm not worthy, but here goes... Taste is of leathery malts upfront, but quickly shouted down by tart dark fruitiness, and closes with a return to the leather albeit with some warming from the alcohol. Mouthfeel is way thin, and I just couldn't see trying this one again. It's like the smokey malt flavors that I love in a scotch ale were taken out, and replaced by these other flavors that don't really belong. Not sure this is the barrel effect, or what, but not impressed.

Originally reviewed on April 26, 2006. 6 Oz Bottle. Pour of almost no head, with a soapy body of extremely murky milky brown, almost sickly in appearance. Decent, but somewhat light aroma of figs, rich warm port, heavy vinous grape notes, pie cherries, and a fluvial run of sherried malt notes. Congruous, but not exciting. Flat. Absolutely no carbonation. Flavor is a watery sherried out vinous failure. It tastes very much like an even mix of water, cheap fortified wine, and a weak scotch ale, with no carbonation of course. Alcohol is peculiar. Its nonexistant at first, but then warms the back of the mouth. There are some dry cherry and oak notes, hidden among the deluge of sour grapes. Poor use of a barrel, I would say. A little tartness. Finish is grape skin dry. Smack of fresh apples.

A small bottle of soy sauce, thanks for the extra Captain Cougar. Pours oily yellow.A tad of scotch and booy aroma. Muddled taste with some scotch and this salty soy. Drinkable with lunch, barely.There was some bulk in mouthfeel. A bit of wood and a drop of vanilla from he barrel, was expecting more.

A: Dark reddish black with basically no head, just a touch of lacing.
S: Boozy, sweet and caramel-y.
T: Different, but not in entirely good ways. Lots of booze - whiskey like - is apparent. Raisins and whiskey soaked dark fruits. Just a touch of sour grape flavor (barely, barely noticeable).
M: Carbonation is too low in my opinion. Makes this beer a bit flat.
D: 6oz is just about as much as I want of this beer.
Overall, not recommended, especially considering the price.

I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't quite it.
Poured a muddy tea color with a very faint head that disappeared immediately.
Aroma is oak, light fruits, and alcohol.
Taste was a surprise. There is the hint of a Wee Heavy, but it has totally changed in this brew. Somehow the smokey flavors become masked by the oak aging, I think. Smokey is still there, but you really have to look for it.
Sweet amber malts are assaulted immediately by sour fruit flavors...sour cherry and sour grape mostly.
Becomes VERY drying afterwards due to the sour fruits. Lots of oak follows as the sourness slowly fades.
Interesting, but not to be sought out again.
For the price, I'll invest in the other beers in this series that Drake does so well.

Courtesy of a travelling colleague. Flat dark brown color with ruby fringes. Virtually no head even with a vigorous pour, and not much lacing either. The aroma is mostly alcohol with some roasted malt in the background. Thick mouthfeel, and the barrel aging seems to have imbued a flavor that overwhelms most of what makes Scotch Ales enjoyable. Earthy malt, plum and caramel flavors are dominated by the whisky character. The aftertaste is sweet and oaky with an alcohol bite. Not really bad, however it is still kind of a letdown.

From 6.0 oz bottle...yes 6.0 oz bottle, Jolly Rodger slips into a wine glass with a dark opaque hue of deep rust russet hues topped with a scant skim razor thin collar of khaki ring. Swirls do nada towards rising a froth.
Oak barrel scents greet the nose along the lines of whiskey barrel and some peat moss. Reminders of Samuel Adams Triple Bock. Lots of wood nse, final nose is a Twizzlers red sugar.
First swigs: Cherry lolipop malt front followed through with a boozy rum. Wood saw dust creeps into the flavor. Some red grape and orange peel citrus zest. Hazy scotch and smoky peat. A tad cherry juice finish.
Feel is rich and full bodied. Boozy nature detracts from the appeal.
Last swigs: These 6.0 oz bottles must be a gimmick. Get real. Is the beer this rare? c'mon. $8? I gave it a shot. This either should be more affordable or in a bigger bottle for the same price. Overall, a bomb of cherry booze and scotch wood barrel.
Beer is good unless it's a ripoff. Happy beering.

got this one from fartingdog as part of BC2. you definitely want this dog to leave a package on your lawn. thanks dave!
6oz bottle topped with gold foil wrapper. bottle lists 11.1%abv. dave has written '2005-2006 release' on it.
the bottle opens without a trace of carbonation. pours clear deep red, not quite brown, with no sign of head or even a single bubble of carbonation despite an aggressive pour.
aroma is crazy. smells like a fine mead. honey sweetness. alcohol. vanilla and a bit of bourbon. huge caramel nose. lots of fruit too - cherry, strawberry, date, raisin. i find myself comparing this to port, sherry, and mead more than beer.
taste is nice. right away i think of mead and port, but thinner and not as strong. there's a bit of alcohol and a nice honey sweetness. light caramel. a nice fruity blend similar to what i got in the aroma - cherry, date, raisin, grape. light vanilla. raw oak. low bitterness level. bit of bready malt.
mouthfeel is ok. zero carbonation really hurts this one. the body feels a bit thin too. this would be nice with at least a little carbonation, which would probably help with the thinness of the body.
drinkability is ok. sips like a port or a mead, but doesn't stand on its own as well. the alcohol is fairly well hidden, but this just doesn't drink like a beer - let alone a scotch ale/wee heavy.

Much thanks to egajdzis for this...
Appears a hazy dark brown with a small head that quickly fades out into a thin collar.
Smell is of lots of caramel, bourbon oak, raisins, and doughy bread.
Taste is of the same aromas with some tart cherries thrown into the mix.
Mouthfeel is cloyingly sweet, tart, chewy, with caramel standing out and lingering.

Another 6oz. Special release in the barrel age series this one at 11% abv. and aged for 18 months. Dark brown root beer color. Nice but nothing outstanding in the nose. The bottle does not say what type of barrel this was aged in but there are some oak and bourbon notes. This is a complex beer with a pleasant citrus malty sweetness and a long dry aftertaste. Nice to try but cant say I would try it again. Also $6 at Ledger's.

Small 6oz bottle pours a slightly cloudy chocolate brown with red hues, no head to speak of. Aroma is very port like, rich and sweet dessert wine but also with some fruity dry red wine aroma. A malty sweetness in the background is sugary and figgy. A slight cognac booziness in the aroma as well. Taste is very like a semi dry red wine, slightly fruity and tannic like from the drying oak aging. A hint of oak is in the taste and a perfumy berry flavor in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin due to the lack of carbonation, but nice and dry in the finish. A very unique beer for sure, the barrel aging adds some nice qualities, but I honestly felt at times that I was drinking wine rather than beer.

Presentation: The gold foil alone adds a distinctive look to this offering and the demure 6 ounce green glass dimpled based bottle certainly accentuates that. Smart looking red and white screen printed bottle has a rather gruesome Skull & Crossbones with the words Drakes Jolly Rodger underneath. To the left additional text sheds some more light onto this one Hand Crafted Drakes Barrel Aged Series, to the right yet more clues Limited Release Jolly Rodger Scotch Ale. Listed at a whopping 11.1% Alc/Vol. This is a one-off brew based on the regular Jolly Rodger and then Barrel-Aged for 18 months.
The labels blurb states; For centuries the Scots have been masters at brewing beer. At Drakes we have attempted to honor their efforts. Our brewer Rodger combined European malts and hops to create this ruby red strong ale. Slightly sweet with hints of roasted malt this wee heavy Scotch ale was then barrel aged for 18 months to enhance the intense flavors. So enjoy this as you would any fine after dinner beverage and give a toast to the Scots, who've only been brewing beer since 6500B.C. This is a very limited release and won't be repeated.
Appearance: The gold foil hides a very colorful Drakes crown cap. Once off the contents pour with a dark brown body. Held to the light a gorgeous ruby, slightly turbid, hue appears. Low key head with a large bubbled halo covering and zero carbonation. Settles to a Port-like existence.
Nose: Soft touch Bourbon lingers beneath a wet-woody aroma. Shifting alcohol, vinous traits .had a smell reminiscent of those thin wooden forks (so often dispensed with Take-Out newspaper wrapped Fish & Chips) soaked in Malt Vinegar. Deeper inhalations reveal a staid Sherry-like tannic odor.
Taste: Oaky start with some soiled bourbon wood and a red grape feel. Port-like middle with a finish that has a strong vinous aspect and dark fruits. Nice enough but a little too much Bourbon like flavors in this Scotch Ale for my liking. I am not sure what kind of Barrel they used for this ..but maybe, just maybe, they could have procured a Scotch Whisky Barrel, now that would have been interesting.
Mouthfeel: Dry finish with a warming sweetness is welcome. Big feel to this one, the alcohol is prominent but not dominant.
Drinkability: Has a hefty tag at $6.95 for the 6ounce bottle but I have grown to like Drakes beers these past few months so I willingly splashed the cash on this one. Was it worth it? ..well sort of, but it would have been much better in an old Macallan Cask for sure.
Overall: Barrel-Aged Jolly Rodger .Aaaarrrrghhh ..

No vintage date on the nip-sized bottle.
The cap gets cracked without even the slightest whisp, and the beer pours perfectly flat. Dark mahogany and clear body, with amber hues when held to the light.
Aromatics lead off with a blast of bourbon, cherries, port, and malt. Hints of oaky tannins, vanilla, smoke, toffee, and leather follow through.
Medium bodied, with a slick, syrupy mouthfeel.
Plump malt, cherry pulp, bourbon, and drying oak start the palate. A tart fruitiness steps forward along with leathery overtones and an earthy dryness.
Finishes with lingering tart fruit, warming booze, and Sherry.
Too bad the beer was totally flat, because I really enjoyed the level of boozyness and tart overtones. Very complex, but with no carbonation it falls way short of greatness.
Big ups to BA urwatuh8 for a great bonus beer!

Nip sized bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis (thanks!).
Poured a darker brown color with almost no head. Aromas of vanilla, whisky, some wood, and caramel. Tastes of stronger bourbon/whisky, dark cherries, and caramel. Had a medium alcohol finish. It also finished lightly tart.

Small bottle with foil cover from Freakin Frog, Las Vegas.
Poured dark brown color with mimimal head that was mostly diminished with minimal lacing. Heavy woody, peat and scotch alcohol aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet woody scotch finish of moderate to long duration.
Good brew.

This poured to a hefty black color with little carbonation. There's no head or lace.
The smell is deep and strong with hints of bourbon. Strong dark fruit flavors come through in the taste along with a bit of alcohol. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light but still appealing. Drinkability takes a hit for the alcohol flavor but stays pretty good.

Thanks to mitchfor3 for the bottle. Cap is removed with no sound. Pours totally still, color is dark, murky brown. Aroma of muddled fruit, slight tartness, and underlying malt.
Taste is fruity and oaky. Very oaky, almost as if I am licking an oak barrel. Apples and cherries, with a bit of chocolate at the end. Caramel malt is still there, but it is quickly sinking. Coating mouthfeel, but thinner than expected. Drinkability is high, after all, it is only a six oz. bottle.

Found this on the shelf at Hollingshead a couple weeks back. Dissapointing that its only a 6 oz bottle (especially for $8).
Pours a dark brown with some red showing through. No head and therefor no lace or retention. Moderately clear for a barrel aged beer.
Smell is of oak and whiskey. There is some scotch ale dark malt smell there too but its mostly of the liquor and the barrel it came from. There is also a noticeable alcohol aroma.
Taste is beautiful. Scotch flavor mixed with scotch ale flavor. Not that these two are similar but they blend wonderfully. I think this beer wouldn't be as good if it was highly carbonated. Alcohol taste is noticeable but not distracting.
Heavy body, low carbonation, kinda oily. It would be nice if this came in 12 oz bottles.

Pours a viscous, woody brown with hints of maple. Very nice color, but not much of a head.
Exquisite nose has brandy, oak, vanilla, dark pitted fruits, candy malts, port wine and whiskey.
Taste does not hold the same complexity. Some tart cherries, plums, caramel, toffee, wood, vanilla, wine grapes and cognac.
Medium body is lightly carbonated. Past prime for sure, but still an interesting beer.
