Select Route:
The Ladder, aka Indian Ladder, is an excellent warmup in the Bierstadt Area. This southeast-facing problem is extremely popular, featuring big moves on huge holds. The problem is a bit harder than it looks, but once you figure out which part of each hold to grab, this line will feel much easier. Begin with a sit start in the bottom of the pit, with hands matched on the big sloper. Pop up to the first rail, and so on towards the top. The holds get much more positive after the long reach at mid-height, and the topout is relatively moderate.
From Bierstadt, continue south through a narrow cleft between the Bierstadt Boulder & its neighbor. About 20� south of this cleft, the trail passes the Ladder, which begins from the pit on the right (N of the trail).
~2 pads. The landing is mostly flat, but there is a sloping boulder on the left that is more of a psychological distraction than anything.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Fort Loramie coach Carla Siegel walked into her postgame interview session and offered an opening statement.
"My first comment is, 'Finally!'" she said, breaking into a wide smile.
After a quarter of a century around the program, her Redskins finally won a long anticipated title.
Second-team Associated Press All-Ohioan Darian Rose scored 19 points and seemed to be in the middle of every big play down the stretch, leading Fort Loramie past Berlin Hiland 57-42 in the Division IV final on Saturday night for its first state championship.
Siegel played at Fort Loramie, was an assistant coach for five years and the head coach for the past 14. The litany of disappointments in six previous trips to the state's final four came immediately to mind as her team closed out the big win.
"I was the assistant coach back in '97 when we were up by seven against Kalida and some people left the game thinking we were going to win and we lost on a 3-pointer toward the end of the game," she said. "In 2006, we played Berlin Hiland and it was a great game and we lost by three. In 2010, we had the infamous meltdown, up by 18 and lost to Harvest Prep. Came back the following year and lost to Harvest Prep again."
"Yes, this is finally here."
Rose, a junior, hit all eight of her free throws and also had five rebounds and five assists as the Redskins (27-3) finally finished on top in their seventh trip to the state tournament.
During one late span, Rose had four points and added an assist in an 8-2 run.
"When (Hiland post player Jasmine Goings) fouled out, I knew that I could drive to the hole and dish out to my teammates," Rose said. "I tried to make things happen at the end."
Regina Hochstetler poured in 23 points for Hiland (26-4), denied its fifth state title in a record 13 trips to the final four.
Hawks coach Dave Schlabach praised the effort by Fort Loramie, particularly on defense.
"Fort Loramie's pressure really made us feel uncomfortable throughout the game," he said. "That's the best defensive team we've seen all year. They keep you off balance, they're so long."
Holding onto a tenuous 34-28 lead through three quarters, the Redskins stretched it to 39-30 on a drive by Jessica Boerger and Paige Ordean's three-point play off an assist from Rose.
But Hiland wasn't going away.
On consecutive possessions, Hochstetler drilled 3-pointers to cut the lead to 41-36 with 5 minutes remaining.
When Hochstetler netted a baseline runner a minute later, the lead was down to 43-40.
"I felt like that started the momentum a little bit," Hochstetler said. "But we couldn't keep it."
Rose hit a huge shot when she swished a 12-foot jumper from the left side with 3 minutes left to push the lead back to five.
After the teams traded baskets, Renae Meyer, who finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds, grabbed a missed Hiland shot and was fouled and made both free throws for a 49-42 lead with 1:43 remaining.
The Hawks missed shots sandwiched around a turnover and Rose was fouled with just under a minute on the clock. She drilled both shots and the lead was 51-42.
Rose then rebounded another miss by Hiland and was fouled, again making both once more to give Fort Loramie a 53-42 lead with 38.5 seconds left that put a capper on it.
Fort Loramie, at the state tournament for the third time in four years, opened the game by scoring the first six points and maintained the upper hand throughout a defensive-oriented first half.
The Redskins led 14-9 after a quarter and 22-19 at the break. Hiland had eight turnovers in the first 10 minutes but just two over the last 6 minutes of the half.
For a change, the village of Fort Loramie had something to remember instead of another ignominious defeat to forget.
"It was always a goal to win a state title," Siegel said. "It's been a dream for every team that I've helped coach. To finally get it, it's for the whole community. It's for every girl who ever put that Loramie jersey on, for every girl who wanted to win a state title and put that banner on the wall. That's what this means to me today."

First, it was my wife (45), son (16) and my nephew (17) who is buds with my sonn and I (46). All of us in pretty good health; we are on the adventorous side. Wife and I have been on about five cruises but none in the past seven years
KIDS VS NO KIDS: We brought our son but not our 7 year old daughter. we ;made the right decision in our opinion.... it would not have worked considering our temperaments and our dear daughters, regardless of the kids care. She had a blast staying with an assortment of family and friends...and going to amusement parks.
CELL PHONES: We purchased two internations cell phones..... When you have a group more than four you definately want to be able to communicate when on shore. We used the "national geographic international cell phones".... they were at best OK... two key ports.... Athens and Venice they weren't able to send calls all day.... all other places they worked.... It's good to have.
On ship INTERNET ACCESS: Still a ways away from working well... unless you go around 2 am at night and want to wait another 20 plus minutes to get access...you aren't going to like it. This service just isn't yet really functioning well... fYI
PRE AND POST VACATIONS ARE A MUST: Extra day night in Rome; extra two nights in Venice:You definately want to spend extra time...if I had to choose one over the other I would go Venice.. although personally both is the way to go.
PRIVATE NON-CRUISE TOURS ARE A MUST: We actually only did one... Naples/Capr ... but it was just great... a great contrast to our other days... (we used the recommend tour (Pleasant Travel)
DON'T OVER DO IT: There is so much to do on these Mediterranean Cruises... so, so cool... just understand that if you are doing an 11 port trip like this don't over book each day.
IF NON-FAMILY TEEN IS COMING... Make sure you follow the guidelines for doing such. Our cruise trip company said "don't worry about the signed documents" they rarely check... well they did! Very closely! Be sure to read up on this.
RUBY PRINCESS WAS FANTASTIC: Granted we haven't been on another cruise line since around 2003, everything about the Ruby Princess was just great. Food was great! (yes we had lobster and steak and all other great meals). Service was great! The ship was great, great ship. OK Let's begin:
Rome/Venice/Barcelonia CRUISE ITINERARIES:
After carefully looking at all the choices we went with the Rome to Venice. Glad we did. (Note: there are no Barcelonia embarkment Cruises that included Rome and Venice. Personally, you want Venice at the end... it was so fun to look forward to Venice and to us Rome is not an "end of cruise" type distination.... by the end of this cruise Rome would have been too much for us.
FLIGHTS: We did a direct Flight from Newark Airport to Rome's International Airport. We tried to do the train, but the lady there talked us out of it... She said it was the same price to for her taxi guys to drive us there and much easier. I didn't fight so we did it. All worked nicely. We flew the Venice to Frankfurt Germany, then to Newark. It was the cheapest for us at the time.
GET TICKETS: before you go for certain key things: Vatican, Colosseum, stuff like that.... go to the websites of the specific site and away you go!
CLIFF JUMPING!? Black beach in Santorini and a bar/restaurant paradise called La Grotta Beach Bar in Carfu Greece
(I wrote Port Reviews on most of the islands... however they only gave me six! I must speak about Venice!
VENICE: You must spend at least two days in Venice. We went around July 4th it is was just tremendous. IT was very warm, but the streets are so narrow that there is a fair amount of shade. Read below about disembarkment!
Compass? Get lost is a fun thing in Venice-- apparently GPS's don't work... a good large sized map and a compass did the trick! The compass is very useful in giving a general direction... it worked great for me. However I was quite surprise to see no one doing the same... hmm.
Favorite Restaurant in Venice: My wife found such a winner! It is the restaurant just below the Hotel Al Gazzettino in San Marco.... It is nothing too much too look at but when you come in meet the owners and try their food.... it is amazing. Here is our suggestion: tell them to treat you to their recommended meal... it was such a delight... cannot describe.
WARNING! Disembarkment in Venice... Wow.. it was quite a mess. Here is the scoop... somewhat different than what the Cruise seems to communicate. When you get off the boat hoping to get a water taxi to take you to the approximate hotel destination.. look out! It is just a total mess. Ticket booths that make no sense.. .long lines everywhere...hot, hot in mid day... luggage.. yuck. There are many costly ways to excape this.. I suggest this... Apparently you can get off the boat first thing if you leave very, very early.. .if so do it! If you wait for the normal disembarkment times and you hope to get on a water bus... you are in for a chaotic, long wait. Naturally you can do the taxis that cost a lot but even that is choatic. Try to get off early!

Waterbury, Vermont - July 16, 2008
"This tragedy is so profound and offensive that we all have to step back and see what we could do to make our communities safer," says Vermont Corrections Commissioner Rob Hofmann.
Hofmann unveiled changes Wednesday that he hopes will prevent a tragedy like this one case from happening again. Brooke Bennett's uncle, Michael Jacques, was released from probation seven years early for raping and kidnapping a Rutland teen in 1992.
Hofmann wants to change the system-- requiring more corrections officials to weigh in on the decision to release violent sex offenders into society.
"Are there certain crimes that are so severe that it requires us to have a higher level manager, perhaps the head of probation and parole, review those most severe cases?" asks Hofmann.
Among other changes being outlined by the Corrections Commissioner-- a change in sex offender supervision. Sex offenders are currently supervised based on the geographic area they live in. Hofmann wants to change the system so that sex offenders are supervised only by parole officers that specialize in sex offender surveillance, which he acknowledges is a challenge in the state's most rural communities.
"Sex offenders are very cunning, very manipulative, very secretive, and having staff that specialize in that would probably improve our chances of cutting through the lies, deception, and secrecy," says Hofmann.
The majority of convicted sex offenders are not incarcerated, especially lower level offenders.
Many prosecutors that deal with sex offender cases would like to see that change, but Hofmann says that may be unrealistic given the constraints the corrections system is facing-- specifically budget and space issues.
Hofmann says it's up to the community to help rehabilitate many of these offenders.
"It's educators, people who work in youth groups, families, it's law enforcement. It's corrections," says Hofmann.
Hofmann also says he's also actually pushing for less supervision of non-violent sex offenders that are just being released from prison. He says he'd rather divert more resources to supervising people like Michael Jacques-- sex offenders who have been convicted of high-end crimes like aggravated sexual assault.
Hofmann said the judge did not order a pre-sentencing investigation in the Jacques case.

Lake Erie College Dedicates Parker Hannifin Fitness Center
(Painesville, Ohio) – Lake Erie College recently dedicated the Parker Hannifin Corporation Fitness Center located in the College's Athletic and Wellness Center in recognition of a $100,000 grant provided by The Parker Hannifin Foundation.
In addition to the Parker Hannifin's Fitness Center, the $9.5 million Athletic and Wellness Center also includes a competition arena with seating for 750, multi-purpose activity gymnasium, fitness track, two-story atrium, conference room, locker rooms and office suite.
The center, which opened in August of 2004, is used for varsity practices, intramural activities and individual fitness routines by members of the College and Painesville communities. The center is also used as meeting space for various classes and organizations. The Cleveland Cavaliers hosted two overnight camps last summer at the College, with the Athletic and Wellness Center serving as the center for the camp.
"We're grateful to Parker Hannifin for its generous support of this wonderful facility that benefits the entire campus community," said President Michael Victor. "Parker has been a great partner of the College, and the company's generosity to this project demonstrates its commitment to growth and strength of Northeast Ohio."
Many Lake Erie College alumni are currently employed at Parker, including Dana Dennis '76, vice president and controller. Dennis was recently named a Distinguished Alumni Award winner, and is also a member of the College's Board of Trustees. "It's particularly gratifying to see leading organizations in Northeast Ohio, such as Lake Erie College and Parker, work together as partners to accomplish important goals for our region. Together, we can play an important part in Ohio's economic development, while helping to ensure we educate and retain the talented future leaders necessary to keep Ohio innovative and growing," said Dennis.
Several Parker employees are enrolled in the master of business administration degree program at Lake Erie College, taking advantage of Parker's tuition assistance partnership with the College.
Naming opportunities are still available within the Athletic and Wellness Center. For further information about gifts to this project, contact Scott Evans, vice president of Institutional Advancement, at 440/375-7255.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education. The College offers 26 undergraduate majors, including new programs in sports management, forensic psychology and therapeutic horsemanship, as well as master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

Brilliant sunshine washes the promenade under hot air balloons as they loft patrons into the air…children cry with delight as they whirl through tree-filtered sun in bi-planes…lavender moonlight glints off the corrugated steel of the mission briefing hut prior to a bombing run over Germany…shafted sun, holding promise of storm, strikes the bridge house and deck when you climb out of your F-18…eerie colors gleam from the edges of the worlds' highest flying spy plane at the boundary of space… here, starlight gently twinkles while you wait for lift off to the International Space Station. All these scenes seemingly jump to life at the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum in Kalamazoo, MI.
The AirZoo, as it is known, is not a typical stay-behind-the-velvet-ropes museum; it features historic displays mixed with themed attractions. The owner wanted lighting that would dramatically impact the patron, so LD Bill Hunter of Hunter-Leet & Associates developed the concept, designed the lighting, as well as designed and installed the systems that would make all of the diverse elements airborne. The 92,000 sq. ft. exhibit hall houses two full size carnival rides, a WWII Quonset hut containing a 60-seat "4D" theatre, a two-thirds size replica of an aircraft carrier superstructure, four fighter simulators on the carrier deck, a shuttle mission simulator, and historic aircraft on the floor and suspended in the air. Surrounding all this is the worlds' largest mural depicting the history of flight.
The most daunting task was lighting the mural (a Guinness Book world record holder, by the way). Hunter wanted to tailor intensity and color fairly precisely for artist Rick Herter's creation. "Its sheer size precluded tungsten as a source because of building heat load and immense power consumption," Hunter says. "The answer was CMY fixtures tapped for 208V. I was able to use a mere 240A to wash the entire 32' high × 900' long artwork with color mixing and intensity control over each fixture."
The entire lighting system had to be as flexible as possible because only the rides and simulators had planned permanent locations; aircraft placement was not planned to take place until a week before ribbon cutting ceremonies.
"Conventional theatrical distribution wasn't practical — my hanging positions were 200' long, and the cost of the pipe and wire involved would have been astronomical," Hunter explains. "Distributing three-phase power, DMX, and portable dimmers throughout the roof truss kept cost considerations manageable while maximizing flexibility."
The AirZoo has been a popular success among old and young alike, and Hunter credits the museum's executive director, Bob Ellis, with going the extra step to ensure that the lighting was top notch. "He really went out on a limb for the lighting in this project," he says. "He understood the intrinsic value and impact it would have for the public when even the architect was pushing for cheaper alternatives."

What disturbed former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma most about the endless replays of the Rutgers footage was that the players appeared so inured to the treatment that they didn't fight back.
"These guys are warriors - college athletes trained to push their bodies to the limit, yet they didn't feel empowered enough to stand up for themselves," said Huma, president of the National College Players Association, an advocacy group for college athletes across the county. "You wonder where else this has happened, where players feel they can't stick up for themselves."
If there's a takeaway from the ugly episode, Diana Cutaia, founder of Coaching Peace Consulting, hopes it awakens athletes to their right to "push back" against extreme tactics and convinces athletic directors to intervene when coaches simply rage rather than instruct.
"It's scary to be an 18-year-old and be in a situation where your college coach has national attention, is very powerful," Cutaia said. "You're going to go and say, 'He dropped the F-bomb on me three times,' and most likely somebody's going to say, 'Suck it up!' But that child has every right to say, 'I don't deserve to be treated this way.'"
In the past, college athletes bombarded with abuse might have quit the team or transferred. Today, they have other recourses, such as a smartphone or the 140-character global megaphone that is Twitter.
In the case of Georgetown's women's basketball, Hogshead-Maker applauds the players who lodged the complaints about their coach's verbal abuse, the audio of which was captured on a cellphone and aired by WJLA (Channel 7).
"I can tell you, that took a lot of guts," Hogshead-Makar said. "Scholarship athletes have very little power. Very few have multiyear scholarships, so if they have a bad year or get injured, it can be over. For many of these athletes, it's their ticket to education - not just a ticket to the NBA or NFL - but to education."
While a recording of an ear-blistering rant may be an accurate snapshot of one heated moment, it rarely reflects the complex relationship that underpins it. Moreover, Thompson noted, it doesn't reflect the vast majority of coaches' methods.
"What can be inaccurate here is the perception that every coach behind closed-doors is a maniac and that the real world is just now finding out," said Thompson, a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches' board of directors.
Nonetheless, ubiquitous cellphones and social media have brought new scrutiny of coaching methods.
Said Ackerman: "Obviously we're living in an age when things can be recorded. That wasn't the case 30, 20, 10 years ago. Coaches can't even be confident anymore that the locker room is a confidential place. I think every coach in the country has got to be paying attention to this."
So do athletic directors.
Cutaia, who held the post at Division III Wheelock College in Boston, believes athletic directors should observe practices, give feedback and emphasize the university's values.
"We're not training coaches around the ideas of building character and teaching skills," Cutaia lamented. "We're not even teaching sports anymore; we're teaching how to win games."
Yet that's often the mandate for coaches of Division I teams that pay the athletic department's bills, keep alumni donation flowing and serve, in many ways, as the university's public face. In such cases, nurturing becomes a luxury.
Says Hogshead-Makar: "If the dynamic is that the coach has to win or they're out, that winning is an economic imperative because if you don't win 80 percent of your games you're in the hole $10 million, if you're not going to keep your job if you don't keep up those numbers - you're looking at abuse right there."

Along with the (about damned time) return of cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, the Bengals also welcomed wide receiver Ryan Whalen and linebacker Vontaze Burfict to the team's final training camp practice of the season, which was attended by 2,000 fans on Sunday. Despite the recent admission from Jay Gruden that Mohamed Sanu could be the team's backup slot receiver to Andrew Hawkins, who works most of the kickoff and punt (and coverage) teams and may need a breather during the games, Whalen spent most of the time practicing from the slot on Sunday.
Rookies Sanu and Marvin Jones keep impressing the coaching staff, however Whalen has missed several practices and both preseason games this year, reducing his probability of making the 53-man roster as we hit the halfway mark in preseason. Whalen, who has worked at all three wide receiver positions, is eligiable for the practice squad this year if he's released from the team and clears waivers after the 53-man roster is announced (and decides to sign with the team).

Cheers to 20 years of Great Lakes Brewing Company! This pours into my glass somewhat viscous with a nice golden copper color and a half inch of bubbly white head that leaves sticky lacing on the glass. Good clarity. Aromas begin with crisp grainy malt upfront that has a sweet, slightly bready quality to it. Herbal, somewhat spicy hops. Crisp, fresh lager aroma. Not bad.
First sip brings crisp, sweet malt upfront that carries flavors of grain, bread and some fruitiness as well. Herbal, grassy, somewhat spicy hops move in and bring a good bitterness. The brew flows down with a bit of a syrupy slickness. Pretty good balance for what it is.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a certain slickness to it as well, almost making it chewy. Quite a big lager here for sure. Overall, an interesting brew, however I don't think the Dortmunder style really needs an "imperial" version. Glad I tried it but I'll be sticking to the super tasty original.

12oz brown bottle drink by 10/07/08 served into a nonic glass. 2" creamy off-white head.Clear medium amber with a few staggered bubbles rising.Decent retention with some dabs of lace.
Fruity aroma some peach/green apple,bisquity/breaddy,grassy with a slight hint of alcohol.
Starts with a good clean feel,a dry clean malty sweetness comes through,some toastyness and honeyed maltiness,some booziness mid taste followed by a dry sharp grassy finish with some hop resins lingering.
Has a thick mouthfeel more than i would have expected. Some cloyingness. Goes down fairly easy and does get filling a bit quickly.A malty backbone not a hop lovers beer. I'm kinda of in the air about this one. Maybe i just ezpected something more. Not a bad beer,just would have expect more for a 20th anniversary beer from GL. At least they didn't do the overdone hop bomb anniversary like most breweries do. The jury is still out on this one for me. Still worth a try,just because it's different than the rest.

Poured into a pint glass gold with a one finger white head. Lacing all the way down.
Smell was very floural. Could also smell honey. Taste was a very sweet hop hit up front. My first reaction was, damn this is good. The carbonation was just right for this medium bodied brew.
Overall, this is a great dortmunder.

Appearance compared to the standard is pretty similar, the head had a toasted biscuit hue versus the traditional Dort Gold being more of an egg shell bright white foamy. Of course head retention is better here with more malt and hops on board, lacing does indeed form thick and evenly with each sip. Smell has a deep floral herbal grassy kick going down, definitely some noble hops kicking. The great pungent hop aroma is literally wrapped with honey drizzled fresh baked biscuits with a touch of noticeable alcohol. That is fuckin' awesome, a bigger version of one of my favorite lagers that still retains it's balance and original concept of the little brother. Flavor wave rides heavy with cereal malts and deep honey sweetness, fresh baked split wheat toasted with honey and butter describes the meat of the malt backbone. Hop profile doesn't bash you but you fully understand why Dortmunder Gold is such a world class beer. More flowery hops with herbal and grassy layers very noble hop esque in general. Definitely worth the hype of this very limited released brew. Mouthfeel is pretty clean nothing heavy sitting on the palate, carbonation is even very smooth 7.5 abv is barely noticeable very balanced yet flavorful. Drinkability is solid all around something I would down few more of if I had more than a four pack, btw I picked this one up in Wintersville, OH at Valley Wine Cellar for 8.99 for four. Get this limited brew while you can.

(Served in a Strange)
A- This beer has a crystal clear warm copper colored body with a creamy beige head that is thick and sticks to the glass with each sip. There is a swirl of microbubbles that support the head.
S- The slightly sweet smell of Vienna malt has a perfumed sulfur note to it, followed by a slight musty note in the finish.
T- The slightly sweet lightly toasted malt note has a sulfury pine and noble hop flavor followed by a sulfury dry finish.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel from the thick head and a soft alcohol heat in the finish.
D- This beer has a smooth yet full flavor of malt that supports a nice hoppy flavor. This is a nice lager with malt and hop flavors big enough to overpower the dry sulfur punch at the finish. It was nice to taste noble hops blended with other pine hops.

12oz. brown bottle, purchased at Belmont Party Supply, poured into a flute. Fresh as can be.
A: Pours much darker than the original Dort Gold, pretty much textbook copper, rich and with great clarity. A strong 2 finger heads forms pearly white and holds very nicely. Loads of sticky lacing.
S: Lots of toasted grains and nutty with a massive husky aroma. Maybe a bit of smoke character in the back. A touch of grainy alcohol.
T/M: Hops are definitely more potent than in the original. Saaz I'm guessing, very spicy with tons of black pepper bite. Grains are still very prominent with the toasted and husky qualities. Has a pleasant sweetness that takes a bit to break through all the robust malt flavors. Alcohol also slowly kicks into gear and is quite present as it warms past 50 degrees. Body is around medium, maybe a touch under, and carbonation lends a nice smoothness.
D: Obviously not as drinkable as the original but a good and interesting pick for a 20th Anniversary. I'm very glad they didn't do the cliche RIS or DIPA, though I'm really looking forward to my trip upstate when they release BA Blackout again.

Poured to a clear yellowish/orange with a white creamy head that lasted during the whole drink and left a lot of lacing.
Can smell the yeasts and grains in the brew with a earthy smell to it as well.
Has upfront sweetness then a nice bitterness that finishes with a dry sweetness.
Brew is medium bodied with a crisp carbonation!
A very easy drinking brew. Could drink several!

4.05/5 rDev +3.8%
Beautifully clear, lightly toasted golden with a healthy and lasting stack of soiled white foam.
Fresh dinner rolls, caramel apples, and prairie flower hops dot the nose.
It enters with that same dry and bready, yet astonishingly full maltiness of the standard Dortmunder Gold. It sweetens further (hinting at maibock territory) with apple and caramel suggestions. A touch of honey is followed with a dry, crushed herb and flower petal hop bitterness.
Medium body with low carbonation, that peters out even more given time.
This is by all means delicious. "Imperial Dortmunder" is something of a stretch, and it is less that than a slightly fatter, lazier, fuller doppelganger of the regular version.
When it's template is damn near perfect (still is, just had one on this one's heels), this fails to feel all that special.
Regardless, a very solid brew by one of the best breweries in the world. Hurrah for 20 years of definative beers.

Very clean, very refreshing and nothing like it. A tad cheesy aroma, dissipitates in time. Purchased at the new Village Mart. Short lasting head, light colour. Medium plus mouthfeel. Drying aftertaste. Very drinkable. Dry hopping and malt, works for mer and good with food.

12oz bottle, Maproom in Chicago
I have been interested in trying this despite being warned that it was a bit of a flop so i was excited to see it on the bottle list at the maproom - reviewed from cellphone notes
apppearance: poured into a pint glass, golden orange grainy body with some light white lace
smell: dry malts, high sweetness, grain, biscuity, a touch metallic
taste: this beer doesnt hold a candle to the original. It's got too much alcohol, its too sweet, and too grainy. Not every style needs to be imperialized (imperial non-alcoholic, etc) and the dortmunder is a prime example of this
mouthfeel: syrupy, too sweet
drinkability: not great

4.38/5 rDev +12.3%
Appearance: It's very clear and golden in color. It looks slightly amber at times. Just a touch of an orange hue to it. Head is vanilla colored and about two fingers deep. It dissipated pretty quickly and left a spotty coat of lace on the glass.
Smell: It's sweet smelling initially. There's a blend of lemon and light orange citrus aromas to start it off. It's got a nice hoppy smell that's enticing. Grainy and earthy scents are prevalent in addition to it being slightly yeasty. It's straight forward and uncomplicated, but a nice smelling beer nonetheless.
Taste: It's a little sweet and fruity up front. There is a light lemon flavor in there. The nose features a stronger fruity presence. Hops are strong and bitter. Stronger than I was expecting. Very nice surprise. It's definitely earthy and grainy. There's a slight spicy aspect to it that may be pepper. It's not strong enough for me to identify the spice individually. But, it's well done and a nice touch. It finishes yeasty or biscuity and a little dry.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: It's medium bodied. Definitely thicker than the original Dortmunder. It results in an extremely smooth and creamy feel. Great Lakes once again nailed the mouthfeel. Carbonation is active and gives it a crisp bite. Drinkability is extremely high. Despite it being 7.5%, I could drink a number of these.
I was a little skeptical of the Imperial Dortmunder style when I heard about this beer. But, I'm a believer. Great Lakes brewed the perfect beer for their 20th anniversary. It's a classic representation of everything that is Great Lakes. Straight forward, damn tasty, smooth as can be, and extremely drinkable. Happy 20th! Looking forward to many more to come.

Got this one from pwoods, Cheers Patrick! Review based on notes
Pours apricot with 1 finger of pearl colored head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Doughyness & not much else
T: Cakeyness, honey malt, grainyness & slightly grassy hops up front. Herbal & leafy hops assert themselves as this warms, along grainy bread more honey malt. Finishes grainy, fruitty, pears, grapes & apple peels. Almost pulled a 4.5
MF: Creamy with minimal carbonation & nice balance
Drinks a bit slow due to the heft, a nice night cap

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a plain pint glass.
A- This beer has a very nice color to it. It pours a translucent golden orange with a creamy 1 finger head.
S- Bit of a letdown here. Not necessarily a weak aroma for a lager but nothing smells "imperial" about the aroma at all. I smell sweet malts and some hoppy bitterness, but I can't discern much else.
T- Lots of sweet malts was the first thing I noticed. A little bit of hops at the end are noticeable. The aftertaste though I cannot describe it isn't particularly pleasant.
M- One area where the beer does an excellent job. Thick and creamy. The alcohol content is not noticeable at all.
D- Honestly one is enough for me.
When I heard that Great Lakes was brewing this beer for their 20th anniversary I was really excited to get a hold of some and try it. I think that now that I finally got to try it my expectations were too high, and that's why this beer seems like a bit of a letdown to me.
By no means is this a bad beer, I just expected to be blown away by it and I wasn't.
Given the choice between this and a regular Dortmunder Gold, I think I would choose the regular Dortmunder.

On tap at the GLBC on 8/22/08. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a clear, dark, burnt gold color with a thin off-white colored head. Retains well around the edges, with some thin wisps across the center, leaving some decent lace behind. The aroma for some reason is a bit subdued but I do pick up bready malts (with a touch of caramel) and citric fruit notes that seem to be the bulk of the smell. I'm also picking up a bit of hop profile in the back as well.
Now the taste is more like it, being much more pronounced and assertive. Big malty backbone of bisquits and toffee sweetness that props up a nice mix of citrus flavors and a floral tasting hoppiness that lingers on the palette. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a touch of beef to it and a crisp feel.
Not bad. The only characteristic that really screamed "Imperial" to me was the body but this packed enough flavor to keep me interested. I picked up a four-pack of this from the gift shop on the way out, so I'm looking forward to visiting this in bottle form as well down the line.

Presentation: Had this at the brewery with lunch. Arrived in a standard pint glass.
Appearance: No head by the time it go tto the table, but looks like it had about half a finger that had settled. Nice lacing left behind and a thing layer of foam on the beer. The beer itself is the color of tarnished copper and perfectly clear.
Smell: Caramel malt. Slightly bready aromas.
Taste: Malty with some herbaceous hops. Bready/biscuity flavor. Some fruity esters. A little bit of alcohol warming in the finish, along with mild hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Average level of carbonation. Body is good.
Drinkability: Really a very drinkable malty lager, especially considering the alcohol.

Thanks to shigadeyo from RB for trading this one to me.
A: Pours a medium golden copper with a small white head. big initial carbonation but settled down quickly.
S: As soon as I poured it it was pretty tart and funky but after a couple minutes it took on a rich malt aroma.
T: Big malts with funky citrus hops. Seems to have a fairly good boozy punch.
M: Quite dry and sharp. A fair amount of bitterness as well.
D: Not bad but I would not want to have more than one in a sitting.

Great Lakes Imperial Dortmunder pours up with a moderately creamy white head that persists atop the bright, golden sunset-deep ochre body. The aroma is malty & sweet with just a hint of sulphur, spicy hops & alcoholic warmth. The flavor starts off a bit cloying with a rich grainy sweetness that is undercut by a moderate bitterness that creates a balanced, subtle warming finish. Medium-full bodied with a smooth creaminess and just the perfect amount of carbonation. Reminiscent of a quality Euro Strong Lager with more substance. I still prefer the original Dortmunder Gold, but this one damn fine lager!
PROST! Beertracker
*Trader's Note: Special thanks to goryshkewych for the opportunity!

12oz brown bottle poured into a pilsner glass, best before 10/06/08.
A: Pours the same good looking clear oaky amber as the regular dortmunder with pretty active ropes of carbonation bubbling up from the bottom of the glass, head is a bit stickier and a bit rockier than the unimperial version.
S: Cookish and biscuty malt with a mild citric hop background, alchohol is rather detectable in this beer and seems rather coarse and rough around the edges.
T/MF: Smooth velvety mouthfeel opens the floor for a pretty alcoholic dortmunder, but there is a richness that will pass you by if you do not give your full attention to this beer. Bitter in both the malt and hop department with a little dryness felt on the back end, a complex and intriguing mouthfeel. Taste is actually quite subtle (if a bit one dimensional) for a beer that touts itself as being an imperial lager. Thick rows of sweet bready malt wash over the tongue balanced by a dry noble hoppiness, not a mash you over the head pine and grapefruit attack, but a mellow floral kind of dryness. Carmel, mild nuttiness, honey, reminds me of a fall afternoon.
D: Pretty damn drinkable even though this beer leaves me wanting just a bit more, I was always going back for another sip so something must be going right. If you are in search of a well crafted and well balanced lager, look no further, if you are looking for something cheap, look elsewhere.

A- Frothy two fingered head poured with more carbonation than I expected. Golden body that's crystal clear, the off white head really helps make the appearance of this beer.
S- Sweet oranges and pineapple with nice grainy tones. Sort of reminds me of morning french toast...A little underlying hop tones but just enough to invoke nice floral aromas.
T- Very nice balance with a good up front sweet hop bitterness that just kisses the tongue. Eventually followed with some very nice malty flavors. Toast, oranges, maple and sweet sugar flavors come to mind. A good warmth comes in the end so as you can feel it in your chest. Aftertaste remind of of grapes with a slight bit of sourness.
M- Big and frothy, with a huge bold body and flavor that smacks your senses like a sledgehammer. There is flavor in this beer!
D- Very tasty and it's a big one to boot. A beer that is highly drinkable but flavorful enough to savor.

12oz bottle. Clear golden pour with a creamy white head. Malt, some floral/citrus hop, bready aroma. Flavor is similar, dominated by a bready malt. The hops really seem to have a tough time coming through. A fair amount of carbonation bordering on creamy. Finish pretty clean/dry. This is drinkable, but I think the regular dortmunder is better.

For other uses, see Afternoon (disambiguation).
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
Afternoon is the period between noon and evening.[1] The term lacks a precise definition because it was in use long before accurate time-pieces became widespread. Hence, words and phrases that refer to general periods in the day were more practical.
The term should not be confused with "after noon" (two separate words), which is a translation of the Latin post meridiem (p.m.), meaning a time of day between 12:00 midday and 12:00 midnight.
In Australia, "arvo" is slang for afternoon.[2]

@FGCU_MTEN Goes Back To The Baseline Hosting Florida A&M
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After a two-week break from competitive action, the FGCU men's tennis team returns to play as it welcomes Florida A&M for a dual match under the lights of the Tennis Complex on Saturday at 5 p.m.
"Tomorrow is going to be a tough match for us," head coach C.J. Weber said. "The past two matches we've played against Florida A&M had a final score of 4-3, with us winning last year but losing the year prior. It's nice to be back at the FGCU Tennis Complex to begin this very important part of our season."
FGCU enters Saturday's contest at 2-5 while FAMU sits a 4-7. The Rattlers hold the all-time series with three wins over the two that the Eagles have tallied.
Traveling to Tallahassee to face the Rattlers in a dual match last season, FGCU posted a 4-3 win in comeback fashion. After dropping the doubles point, the Eagles were forced to take four of the six singles matches in order to come away with the win and did just that, as Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS), Gabe Echeverry (Popayan, Colombia/Gimnasio Calibio), Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS) and Lance Lvovsky (Dania, Fla./Broward Virtual School/Jacksonville) were all victorious. With the lead going back-and-forth all afternoon the score was tied 3-3 as the No. 4 match featuring Lvovsky was entering a third set for the ultimate decision. After dropping the first set, 6-3, Lvovsky rallied right back with a commanding 6-1 victory in the second. Despite having all the momentum after the previous set, Lvovsky fell behind 4-0 in the third, but fought back with seven of the last eight games to secure FGCU's hard-fought win.
Facing a trio from the Atlantic Sun Conference already this season, FAMU hasn't been able to hold its own being handed a loss by each of the three. Not only are the Rattlers winless against the conference, but they have taken just three points from A-Sun members all year. With their most recent loss being a 5-0 shutout to Kennesaw State, the Rattlers were defeated 2-4 to Mercer and 1-4 to then-No.71 North Florida earlier in the season.
Their last time out, the Eagles picked up their first road win of the season upending FAU 6-1 earlier this month. After taking the doubles point, FGCU picked up five wins in singles play, but even better than their handful of victories was how they were earned. With half of the matches going three sets, the Green and Blue showed the close losses they suffered previously are becoming a thing of the past as they came out on top in every tiebreak, for the first time this season.
After Saturday's match the Eagles will begin conference play as they welcome UNF to The Nest on Mar. 22 at Noon.
