they are draining investment dollars away from investments in hard assets that do lead to job and income growth and keeping them in a investment pool that only benefits the big players. then, through our forced participation in 401K's and market based pension plans we have to play along.
we need to at least return to the stage where we regulated risk in these markets and required that it be quantified and published, that certain types of savings are banned from being invested in high risk portfolios and the the rating companies become criminally responsible for negligent discharge of their duties.
dark markets are fine for those that want to play but not everyone does or should and the line of demarcation needs to be clearly defined.
this is actually where Obama has a clear advantage over Romney and the GOP. he is the candidate that has the political will to stand up to them. the GOP policy of allowing these institutions to operate in lawless environment exposing all of us to another disaster is not conservative economics, it is the hallmark of how completely they are under the control of companies that do not have our best interests at heart.

Much of the design work for six-laning Daniels Parkway where it runs by the Boston Red Sox stadium property in Lee County is already done.
When DSA of Tampa four-laned the road in the 1990s, county project manager Don DeBerry said, the county was thinking ahead.
"It was designed and permitted as a six-lane," he said.
DSA went out of business in the interim, DeBerry said, but the county - or more accurately design contractor Pitman Hartenstein - can update the plans.
County commissioners approved the selection of the Jacksonville firm this week. The county fast-tracked the project after the stadium site was selected June 2.
Watermen-Pinnacle Development, the former landowner, had offered to do the road work as part of the deal, but it was negotiated out. The county came up with $20 million to buy 106 acres on the north side of Daniels, with the Red Sox paying $5 million for another 20 acres.
The stadium site design will affect the road project, DeBerry said. The site has two median accesses, but no turn lanes. The accesses may be relocated, and stadium traffic will demand turn lanes.
DeBerry said he's seen no traffic information from Watermen planners, but expects any work directly serving the site won't be part of the Daniels project. Watermen must apply to amend the existing Development of regional Impact zoning for the property, and a new traffic impact study for the stadium will have to be done.
The design budget for the project is $400,000. The county doesn't yet have a contract with Pitman Hartenstein.
The construction is expected to cost $4.5 million.
DeBerry said he hopes to see construction start by next October. That would have a six-lane Daniels ready well in advance of the anticipated 2012 stadium opening.

The career fair process is getting a makeover to help students shake the nerves of meeting recruiters.
Koofers, which was incorporated by three Tech alumni in 2008, is introducing a Campus Recruiter function to their website.
While LinkedIn and Hokies4Hire help students find jobs, Michael Rihani, co-founder and CEO of Koofers, said that students are more frequently visiting Koofers so it makes sense for it to be a "one-stop shop" by adding job searches to the website.
"Everybody's coming to college to get a job," Rihani said. "A job matching algorithm, for both students and employers, kind of closes your academic life cycle."
This new service will connect recruiters with students before career fairs and cut down on time and cost for employers.
"Because of the quality of students that they can find through our service, the companies that utilize it will get more out of it than they would pay for," said Brandon Carroll, vice president of business development at Koofers.
Recruiters have told founders of Koofers personally that the recruiting process is outdated and they want to be able to pick out who they want to talk to at the career fairs and even possibly meet with them beforehand.
Campus Recruiter will be an extension of Koofers where employers will be able to create their own profile and search for students.
Recruiters will be able to narrow their search for students by major and year, along with other specifications.
"Recruiters want to come to students, there just isn't a good way to do it," said Alex Rhea, Koofers employee and senior business information technology major.
Campus Recruiter is looking to make career fairs the later steps for recruiters and students, instead of just introductions.
"We are looking to make that process streamlined so they can spend their time on the good recruits," Rhea said. "You can't tell how someone will fit into your company from a piece of paper."
To help with this new demand, Campus Recruiter is changing the process and encouraging recruiters to connect with students online while still keeping human interaction a factor.
The online interviewing will be similar to a career fair, so employers will still be able to determine if a student will fit into their company's
"Technology can lose the human aspect of it, that's why we think video interviewing is a big part of still keeping that human element," Rhea said. "The majority of recruiters will know if they are going to hire a candidate within 30 seconds."
On the student side of Koofers, not much will change.
In the next couple of weeks all users will be asked to update their profiles and add more information, such as job history, skills and preferred job location.
In order to help students have the right type of photograph for their updated profile, Koofers will be taking professional photos at the Engineering Expo and Business Horizons.
They will upload the photo right to an individual's Koofers profile and send the raw image via email. The photos will be free.
"We're Hokies, we care," Carroll said. "If we can help Hokies find jobs faster, it's better for Virginia Tech, its better for the students, better for the community and better for the employers."
A version of this article appeared in the Sep 17 issue of the Collegiate Times.

Apprentice: 'It was the break I needed'
Posted: September 06, 2012
|ROSS Hardwick, 21, of Chanterlands Avenue, Hull, is doing work experience with Jackson Civil Engineering in the hope of winning an apprenticeship.
The Hull College student was working as a cleaner at the firm's site office when he was offered the opportunity.
He said: "At the end of the six weeks, if I'm good enough, I'm hoping to get a job.
"This is really what I can see myself doing in the future.
"I told them it was the break I needed to get me into full-time work.
"I've seen the project here change as it's gone on. It will be great in years to come to drive down this road and be able to tell my grandchildren, if I have any, that this is where I started out.
"Civil engineering projects are like that. You're creating something that will last and that is vital for people to live their lives.
"I think it's all fitting into place for me here."

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:
Contracts Awarded and Consultants Retained by Federal Departments and Agencies to Assist in Implementing the Act
GAO-11-797R, Jul 14, 2011
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5154
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA), contained provisions to increase access to health insurance coverage through: health insurance market reforms; an expansion of Medicaid eligibility; and the creation of health insurance exchanges to provide small employers and individuals access to coverage. In addition, PPACA contained provisions designed to improve the quality of health care, reduce expenditures, and provide incentives for preventive and primary care. To help implement PPACA, federal departments and agencies awarded contracts, including contracts for consulting services. Contractors and consultants perform a variety of tasks, including research, market reviews, actuarial support, logistics and technical support, data management, and information technology support. As required by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, this report provides information on contracts awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal departments and agencies related to authority provided by PPACA, including information on firms retained to facilitate contracting and consultants retained by HHS and other federal departments and agencies to assist in PPACA implementation.
This report provides information on contracts awarded (including to consultants) by HHS to help implement PPACA. We identified one consultant in our review retained by HHS's Assistant Secretary for Administration. This report provides similar information for contracts awarded by the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, and OPM, respectively. We did not find that the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, or OPM had retained any consultants. In addition, no firms were retained by HHS, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, or OPM to facilitate contracting.

Fish (some types of herring, to be specific) fart. Furthermore, the herring use flatulence to communicate, to alert other fish and form "protective shoals" at night.
Yes, one species' anti-social behavior is quite the opposite for another.
Marine biologists have found that some types of herring, using air gulped from the surface and stored in their swim bladders, create high-frenquency sound bursts (up to 22 kilohertz) by expelling air through their anuses. From video, Robert Batty, senior research scientist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science in Oban, says that he and other scientists could actually see bubbles emanating from the fishes' anal ducts. The sound produced was "very much like someone blowing a high-pitched raspberry" (go here to hear it). The noises seem to have the purpose of communication because the fish fart in darkness and when there is high fish density — that is, at times when they have a need for alerting each other.
While other marine fish do use sounds (some cod make their swim bladder vibrate to produce a kind of drumming sound), so far it's only some herring species that seem to use the art of the fart to communicate. Ben Wilson, a marine biologist at the Bamfield Marine Science Centre, British Columbia, Canada, and his colleagues have given the phenomenon its own special name, Fast Repetitive Tick — or FRT, to use the acronym.
Even more, scientists have been airing concerns about the possible impact of noise pollution on the herrings' form of communication. Engine noise from ships or seismic guns used for oil surveys could interfere not only with the herring's hearing, but also with that of those who feed on them, dolphins and whales. These animals rely on hearing farts — that is, FRTs — to find their food.
Some fishy things mean more than words can say.

Woman, 78, Toronto's 51st homicide this year, may have been robbery victim
Manijeh Bostani-Khamsi was found with signs of trauma in her apartment on Wynford Dr. Police are trying to trace her actions late last week.
1 | Photo |
Toronto police say that an elderly woman whose body was found Saturday morning in an apartment building was murdered.
The victim, Manijeh Bostani-Khamsi, 78, was found at 215 Wynford Dr., near Eglinton Ave. E. She is of Persian descent.
The death was at first ruled suspicious, but police now say they are looking for a killer. There were obvious signs of trauma at the scene.
The woman was the 51st homicide of the year in Toronto.
Det. Mike Carbone held a news conference Monday afternoon to provide more details.
The woman lived alone, Carbone told reporters. On Wednesday, Nov. 14, she was observed in her building doing her regular routine. During the day, Nov. 16, an unknown person entered her apartment and an altercation occurred.
This was not a random attack.
Police are trying to track the woman's movements from Wednesday to Friday. Police particularly are interested in her movements on Friday afternoon or evening.
On Sunday, an autopsy was conducted, but police would not disclose the cause of death.
Carbone would not say who found her.
"It's very early for us. We're still working through the witnesses," Carbone said. "I believe she was targeted. The question is why."
Police have canvassed the building several times.
Bostani-Khamsi's husband passed away some time ago, Carbone said, and her family lives abroad.
Carbone said the building is an upscale building and police are poring through surveillance video. The victim owned the unit and lived there for more than 10 years.
"There's a lot of surveillance video to go through," Carbone said.
Carbone said it's possible the woman may have been the target of a robbery.

I actually lose more weight when I drink (I end up eating less).
I've eaten 2lbs of baby carrots in one sitting before (had quite the interesting BM after that hah). I've tried just letting myself eat as many veggies as possible to fill up, doesn't really work.
[–]redeyemoon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
No matter what you choose to eat, you have to stop gorging yourself. Notice I suggested 4-6 cups of veggies per day and not as many as you can eat in one sitting. Controlling portion size is super important.
[–]gorgenzola 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Have you ever filled up completely on Broccoli? If you want to know what passing obsidian through your rectum feels like, you should try that. Pretty sure I could have cut diamonds with my own shit.
[–]mattboud 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
By eat less I mean not at all. I'd skip dinner and such. I was a kind of depressed as I mentioned. I don't really do the whole skip dinner and go right to the bar thing anymore though as that is obviously a very bad thing.

Bruce Dixon's Open Letter to Melissa Harris-Perry, Toure, Joy Ann Reid: Stop the Hate, Grow Some Guts
Glen Ford: US Military Conquest of Africa "All But Complete"
Cornel West on Sharpton, Jay-Z, and the 50th Anniversary Farce on Washington:
Rev. Al Sharpton and other organizers of the March on Washington 50th anniversary commemoration are so tightly tied to "the Obama plantation," said activist and academic Dr. Cornel West, "we won't get to focus on the New Jim Crow; we won't get to focus on the privatization of education; we won't get to focus on the land grabs and the gentrification of land it the city; we won't get to focus on working class people; and we certainly won't get to focus on the drones and those bombs landing on innocent brothers and sisters in Pakistan and Yemen and Somalia, and especially the 222 innocent children who have been murdered by the U.S. government so far, and counting."
President Obama is scheduled to speak at the August 28 event at the Lincoln Memorial. Dr. West, of the Union Theological Seminary, in New York City, does not plan to attend. "If Martin [Luther King Jr.] were to show up at this march and they asked him to give a speech," said West, "what he would say would be so subversive that those on the Obama plantation would be revealed for who they are, which is obsessed with career, obsessed with access, obsessed with status as opposed to being obsessed with the suffering of poor Black brothers and sisters."
Speaking on Black Agenda Television, Dr. West said George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin has fueled "an overwhelming Black rage, and Brother Sharpton and the others are trying to contain it, and of course Obama and Holder are fearful of it, because Black rage is always the catalyst to Black self-determination, toward Black self-respect, and toward Black self-defense."
Dr. West rebuked entertainment mogul Jay-Z, who said his "presence is charity" to Black people, "just like Obama's is."
"It's what I call the re-niggerization of the Black professional class, where you have fear, you have a tremendous sense of being intimidated even though you have big money," said West. "So you say to Brother Jay-Z, What are you risking? We don't want to just see you successful, we appreciate it, we want to see you faithful to something bigger than you, and faith has to do with risking something. The only way you become de-niggerized and free is when you are willing to risk, when you're willing to go against the grain, to show you're not fearful, you're not afraid. Unfortunately, Jay-Z at his worst is an example of folk who get so elevated that they don't show courage and take a risk for something that is bigger than them."
Bruce Dixon to Melissa Harris-Perry, Toure, Joy Ann Reid: Grow Some Guts
When the White House gets upset, Black MSNBC talking heads get apoplectic. MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, Toure and Joy Ann Reid whipped themselves into McCarthyite fervor against secrets-leaker Edward Snowden. Harris-Perry and Reid lost all sense of decorum, screaming like banshees at Wikileaks spokesman Kris Hrafnsson. In an open letter to the trio, Black Agenda Report managing editor Bruce Dixon described Harris-Perry and Reid as playing "a reprehensible game of make believe, where leakers are criminals instead of heroes, Wikileaks is a conspiracy instead of a media organization, Joy Ann's a tough district attorney and Melissa's a special agent ready with the handcuffs." As for Toure's reflexive defense of Obama's global dragnet for Snowden: "We all know you're just repeating what the White House the Pentagon the intelligence agencies tell you. That's just plain lazy, man," said Dixon, in his latest Black Agenda Television commentary. "Until the three of you grow the guts and integrity to represent something besides your own shallow careers on the tube, stop the fronting, stop the hate, and leave the real journalists alone."
Glen Ford: U.S. Military Conquest of Africa "All But Complete" Since its founding in 2008, AFRICOM, the United States Military Command in Africa, "has forged deep relationships with the militaries of EVERY country on the continent – except two," said Black Agenda Report executive editor Glen Ford. "Only Zimbabwe and tiny Eritrea have avoided entanglement in the AFRICOM Matrix – which is why these two countries are on the American Hit List for regime change. All of the rest of Africa's militaries, every single one of them," said Ford, in his latest commentary for Black Agenda Television," has been to some degree integrated into the U.S. Military Command. To that extent, African independence on the military level has ceased to exist." For more information on Black Agenda Television, contact Glen Ford at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Please do not confuse Cornel West to be anything other other than the intellectual wing of European mainstrea.m . Obama is the political wing..
Both of these men are meant to keep a handle on your and my liberation .....
Cory Booker of Newark, Adrian Fenty of D.C. are all meant to stifle our political, social and economic ambitions .....So, Dr. West makes some very valid points but when charging Obama he also, indicts himself. West chose his side back in the the late 80's and early 90's. Remember the huge rift between him and. Dr. John Henrik Clarke.
Very Interesting information.
Can u expand on the rift with Dr Clarke. I tried to find something but cud not.
Thank you.
Cornell West is an overseer on Obama's Plantation
There's little difference between Cornell West and those he criticize. In 2008 it was obvious that Obama was a corporate/aipac frontman. Yet West enthusiastically endorsed & campaigned for Obama.
I bought his book "Race Matters" and his rap cd "Sketches of My Cuture," but over time, I realized West is a member of the pseudo Left; and his job is to keep voters in the democratic party, without their interests being represented.
West will criticize Obama and the Democratic Party, sometimes very strongly, but when its time to vote, he will ALWAYS lead you right back into the same party.
The 2012 elections reinforced my view of Cornell West as a Democratic Party shill.
West is doing a whole lot more than anyone I know.
The man is going to be assassinated eventually because the establishment cannot afford to have him around.
He is the only real voice for the ideals of MLK today. Yes he loves all people. So what? Don't you? Jesus did! Glen Ford and Bruce Dixon like him!
Just wanted to say thank you to every contributor at BAR for the wonderful work you do. Your analysis and perspective is vital - and you deserve far more appreciation for what you do.
Great Job Bruce. Those three phonies are truly black misleadership. Great interview with Cornell West. I appreciate him trying to convert JZ, I wouldnt have the patience.
The Aftermath of Obama
I can hear it now being said. "You had a Black President and he did not do it, so why should we." This will and can be said by future White politicans after Obama.
MSNBC had the nerve to create the Grio for us. That was very White of them to decide and create a site to present what news we should know. It features news depicted here by these three young African Americans, what the master wants us to know. Unlike here on BAR, in mainstream media White America is to think for us.
So many young Blacks who have "made it" are our worst enemies, especially in the workplace in Human Resources. They are to control and dismiss any complaints by the Black workers. It is about a diversion called diversity which means fewer and fewer Blacks and not about discrimination.
Professor West and Tavis Smiley are one of the inspirations that is needed. Proud of these brothers and all brothers and sisters that dare to break from the constraints of protecting the first Black President. He cares nothing for us thus freeing future Presidents from caring.
anybody hear about this?

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: pours stout black, thick head that slims to a thin rim
S: black and chocolate malts, espresso notes
T: bitter espresso, some chocolate... roasted, toasted malts, some hoppy woodsy flavors
M: dry, bitter, mellow; mild aftertaste
O: I get confused with what a beer should taste like when it has too much going on in its description, and I'm not a big black ale drinker - I suppose this is a decent black ale, but DIPA? I dunno. When I hear "imperial IPA" I expect some citrus or pine or brighter hop flavors; this was (to me) a basic black ale with a high abv - which is fine, but I wasn't blown away, nor is it my favorite black ale or black DIPA or DIPA. Not a re-buy for me, but may be spot-on for true lovers of the style.

A- Pours an absolutely pitch black with a very thick and creamy mocha head that has excellent retention.
S- Pine, some citrus, caramel, and a slightly roasted aspect on the tail end. Rather deep and complex, considering the style.
T- Sweet and hoppy. The malt aspect is rather pronounced, not that it is a bad thing. The piney hops work well with the sweet, roasted malt. Interesting and intriguing.
M- Slightly spicy carbonation and some alcohol warmth.
O- A very well made beer. The alcohol content, while noticeable, is pretty well masked. Still, it is a bit rich and a bit of a sipper.

22oz bottle served in a snifter.
bottled 3 weeks prior to tasting.
pours a dark cola brown, sits an opaque black; yields a 1" frothy tan head that demonstrates great retention and leaves respectable lacing. nose offers some citric hoppiness - a touch of pine - with subtle roasty notes... maybe a hint of chocolate.
taste follows and exceeds the nose. flavorful and tasty with citrus (notably grapefruit), pine, roasted malts, and secondary notes of chocolate and even a hint of smoke. alcohol presence noted but not overpowering considering the north of 10% ABV... medium bodied in the mouth with average carbonation.
overall a damn impressive beer. thoroughly enjoying this one.

Pours black. Medium, tan head with a thick, sticky lacing. This beer is beautiful to look at.
Strong roasted smell, chocolate, piney hops.
Tastes like bitter dark chocolate, spicy, very bitter hops. Resiny hops. Roasted up front and in the long, bitter finish. Complex, lots of different flavors coming at you, but perhaps none more than the dark chocolate.

A: I gave this an average score on appearance because it just isn't black, not even close. Brown ipa just doesn't sound cool I guess but thats what this is. I was expecting something darker.
S: No hard or sharp hop aromas just really smooth hop smell even though this was aged for a bit. smelled like a fresh hop ale. Other aromas were there as well I can't place the smell its not the what I would call malty but I guess it kind of has to be. smells kinda like arrogant bastard.
T: Very interesting. Same as the smell it has an arrogant bastard hidden flavor to it. Not very bitter at all. Going back to the appearance, since its called a Black IPA I was expecting some dark deep roasted malt flavors but there just aren't any. I also was expecting more hops.
O: This beer just really doesn't live up to its name if you ask me. Its a great beer but its not black, and doesn't taste like a beer brewed with really dark malt and it doesn't seem as hoppy as an IPA should be. The labels commentary on our consumerism culture is very good though!

The pour was a thick dark black with a large (2-3 finger) medium brown creamy head which had good retention reducing to a thick puddling thus creating some excellent sheets of lacing.
The aroma was of a pine hop, a roasted grain malt and a moldy yeast with notes of coffee, caramel, licorice, chocolate and a decent alcohol tinge.
The taste was a hoppy, malty and a tad sweet with a very mild hint of caramel and chocolate at first then progressed into a bitter, roasty, hoppy flavor with a big coffee note and a mild alcohol presence at the end. The flavor hung on for a good long time proceeding the swallow letting the hoppy roastiness settle in.
Mouthfeel was a bit beyond medium in body with a dry, oily texture and a nice lively carbonation.
Overall an exceptionally well balanced Black IPA with just the right amount of everything working together.
I'm fortunate to be nearby the brewery itself, of course I'm a little biased. Their is a certain smell and flavor that comes with any of the Stone brews and it hooks me all the time.
The "Imperial Black IPA" is such a very complex and delicious explosion on ones palette. This is currently my best and favorite beer of all time. I'm actually still able to purchase this as of 6/1/12 at a local liquor store for $6.99 ;-)

A- pours a black appearance with a finger and a half tan head.
S- chocolate, leather, pine, coffee, and bread.
T- chocolate, molasses, dark fruits, hop bitterness, leather, tobacco, and alcohol.
M- strong carbonation with lingering bitterness and some heat from the alcohol.
O- I tried this beer last fall a little after it was released and I found some again recently and decided to see how it changed. I remember their being a little more fruitiness from the hops. Otherwise this beer is still awesome even with some age on it.

Pours a dark black, with a thick, tan head. Smells of sharp roasted malts and chocolate with tons of hop spice. Taste is a beautiful mix of charred malts, chocolate, and hop bitterness. I've never had a beer balance roasted malt and hops this well. Mouthfeel is full bodied and smooth. Overall, an amazing beer. Please, Stone. Add this to your year-round line-up. This is a masterpiece.

Bomber poured into a imperial pint glass.
A - Poured a pitch black with a tan creamy head. Decent lacing.
S - Lots of in-your-face hoppiness dominate.
T - Taste doesn't stray too far from the aroma. I get a lot of piney hops up front with some chocolatey malts on the backside. The bitterness grabs a hold of your palate and doesn't let go. A rather large amount of alcohol creeps up.
M - Medium-thick bodied with moderate carbonation. Thicker and creamier than expected. The bitterness is a little harsh. I can definitely feel the alcohol's presence in this beer.
O - Not one of my favorites from Stone. I had bigger expectations on this one. I am a huge Stone fan... always have some on hand... I dig BIPA's...but I I didn't fall in love with this anniversary version as much as I have in the past.

Bottle is 9 months beyond date of bottling.
Pours a clear deep brown with garnet highlights and a solid one finger cappuccino head that dissipates into a ring of foam, leaving no lacing.
Dark fruit, roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and coffee dominate the aroma, with a hint of nuttiness and a muted grapefruit finish.
Flavor showcases much more hop character, starting with grapefruit tartness that makes my mouth water. It lingers throughout the profile, revealing more complex tropical fruit flavors. A solid roast malt backbone supports the hops well, allowing them to shine without overpowering them. Hints of coffee grounds accompany the bitter hop finish. Dark fruit flavors emerge as it warms, and malt becomes more pronounced.
Body is on the heavy side, with fairly low carbonation and a significant alcohol warmth.
Very interesting beer that is a contrast in malt and hop, but definitely biased toward the hop side. Alcohol content is fairly surprising!

Pours like an imperial stout-black and thick with a big dark brown head. Smells like hops, lots of very tasty hops. Licorice, toast, and carmel malts are also there in the nose, but the main impression is hops and black. The taste follows the smell, but with more of a toast malt than the carmel smell suggested, more grassy hops than anticipated, but accompanied by the oily, piney, soapy hops that the nose promised. A touch of citrus rind, but nothing like in Sublimely Self Righteous. Pretty chewy and sugary, but without much sweetness. Bitterness is gnar, but not unchecked by the big black malts. This was great, hella great. Very different from SSR in a more deep and complex way. I'd say this is for sure gnarlier, but not any less drinkable. Big. Huge! I love that it still manages to come across as something completely different from a hoppy stout… I loved it, but will probably reach for the SSR when I'm in an IPA mood. This is more overwhelming.

crazy windy night here in jersey...
22oz bomber pulled from my cellar, august 2011 dated
on a quick glimpse I thought I was pouring dimetap.. but then as it gathers it becomes more pitch, black with perhaps a little light shining through, head settles down to a tarp cover barely treading water above the blackness, plenty of legs on this one alright, the lacing is nice and consistent, a nice blanket of bubbles washing up and down the sides of the glass on a gentle swirl, a nice looking brew.
really hard to explain at first schnozz, vanilla glazed dark chocolate, molasses and faint coffee, brown sugar, darts of alcohol stab at the olfactory as well, really interesting mix, there is a clean consistency to it.
taste etc...
it is funny how you almost expect a black/dark beer to be hefty sometimes. I had to remind myself what style is afoot here... This drinks very smooth and leaves a rich flavor in its considerable wake. What looks like really used motor oil winds up as light as an IPA, perhaps with a shade less carbonation than the usual 'bright' american IPAs. Light molasses and vanilla on the front end of things with a nice deep bitter chocolate/ash back end that lingers (insert joke about people who linger here). The ABV is surprisingly mild in the mouth but definitely is letting my stomach (and soon my head I suppose) aware. This is consistent throughout the bomber. Just every sip is a wonderful experience, full of flavor and character delivering flavor upon every step of the sipping experience.
One helluva beer. I tend to think Stone is over rated here sometimes but then they go and stick this in my craw... touche, well played my lads (hey, you watch game of thrones and try not to get all 'thee' and 'thus' my lady...)

Bomber from Bristol Farms Palm Desert CA for 6.99
Appearance - Black/brown colour with a large size frothy light brown coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some fantastic lacing. The head lasted for over 5 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, hops, chocolate, grapefruit/oranges
Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and I can taste hops mixed with malts, chocolate, and hops. There is also quite a bit of a roasted/burnt nut flavour. It ends with a hoppy bittersweet chocolate aftertaste.
Overall - Lots of imperial stout qualities mixed with a good dose of hops. For an black ale I think I preferred the The Alchemist / Ninkasi / Stone - More Brown Than Black IPA, but this is still a fantastic beer. The alcohol is very well hidden and to me it's a beefed up Self Righteous.

Poured from a bomber into snifter
A: Dark and creamy upon initial pour. less than a finger head dissipates fast into haze. some lace upon conclusion
S: Dark malts come first. some tangerine and citrus. slight toffee and even vanilla. some alcohol.
T: this is where I'm conflicted. chocolate and pine. citrus mid-taste. finishes nutty, like pecans almost. After it warmed, the alcohol made itself known. extremely complex
M: Very creamy. Pours heavy, leads to a smooth feel.
Overall: Different than any other Stone brew I've had, and that is not a bad thing. Lacks the citrus taste that I love about Stone. Malts make up for it in every way. The alcohol is present but the beer is still drinkable. The complexity of this beer is astounding--I don't think drinking this one time does it justice for a review. Looking forward to trying it again and seeing what I missed the first time.

Got a bomber of this on my visit to California; I'll be visiting Stone in two days.
My father and I split this. First off, wow, that's thick. And it's certainly black. My first whiff had me reeling. It's extremely potent... hops flood my nasal passages. A pungent soy sauce flavor overwhelms me. It's very sweet.
The first sip is incredibly bitter. Sweet as well. The ABV of this beer doesn't hide, in my opinion, like some Double IPAs can do. I don't look forward to the next sip of this beer. And that's just it--this is a sipping beer. It's incredibly flavorful. It stops everything, and forces me to focus on how bitter and overwhelming the flavor is.
The aftertaste is the best part, and quite possibly the only thing I enjoy about this beer. There's an incredible coffee aftertaste reminding me of a coffee stout. I also detect chocolate and toffee undertones. Someone else here on BA noted figs as well, which I also subtly taste. But coffee and soy sauce are two huge flavors here, and I'm not the most fond of those. I'm much more of an IPA guy.
Compared to other black IPAs, this is something else entirely. It is so pungent, so powerful, so overwhelming, that I would probably never choose to drink this again. The flavor kills my palate more than a double IPA and I'm here wishing I had bought a bottle of something else. I love a lot of Stone's brews, but this sure isn't one of them.

A: The beer is jet black in color and poured with a half finger high dark tan head that died down rather quickly, leaving lacing on the surface and a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderately strong aromas of citrusy hops in the nose along with some notes of dark roasted malts.
T: A moderate to high amount of bitterness stands out in the overall taste, which also has notes of citrus and dark roasted malts.
M: It feels medium- to full bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. There are also some sticky hints of resin.
O: The bitterness in this beer is very bold and stands out in front of the other flavors. It's not too difficult to drink considering its strength because the alcohol is well hidden from the taste.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a very dark brown, appearing black. One finger fine medium brown head with good retention and excellent lacing. Attractive. Aroma of critrus and aromatic hops. Flavor starts as a stout, dark and roasted malts followed quickly by aromatic hops and roast, burnt coffee. Finishes hoppy and somewhat dry. Taste goes through a rapid and complex series of flavors. Very different and interesting. Surprisingly smooth and mellow while presenting interesting components. The finish skates on the edge of being too dry and burnt, but somehow pulls off the whole thing. I really enjoyed this unusual ale.

Was fortunate to have this on tap at Stone Brewery (8 oz snifter) up until it sold out in the last couple of days, so that would mean my last tasting was probably the weekend of 25/26 February (bottles are still available).
Comments concerning appearance and nose are consistent with others, but what really struck me as something else was the aftertaste - blue cheese and rye crackers! It was like I had downed a chunk of Stilton and washed it down with the beer.
Some people might get the impression that I'm suggesting it was somehow skunked or yeasty, but far from it - it was actually quite addictive. Funny I didn't note it in the bouquet, but that's most likely because the serving glass was pretty much topped off, not like a normal snifter where you can collect the vapors and get a nice noseful.

Appearance: Pours Black with a very thick foam.
Smell: More of a citrus smell than I had anticipated.
Taste: As far as IPAs and black IPAs are concerned this is the best tasting one that I have had. It is easy to drink, especially for the ABV.
Overall: It is a great beer, but a little over priced for my liking.

Pours a deep, nearly black-brown with a frothy, pillowy brown head that leaves heavy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and roasted malts.
Big, bitter and dominated by roasted flavors, with a big alcoholic finish. Wow. Just a big friggin' punch in the mouth.

Thanks goes out to portia99 for this brew.
22oz. Bomber
Poured into a DFH glass a very nice black color, nice carbonation, with a one-finger creamy light tan head, with some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is very very nice, hoppy, malty, lots of licorice, plums, raisins, figs, and chocolate. The taste is exceptional also, hoppy, with a nice touch of malts, chocolate, licorice, and some dark fruits. Medium body, kinda chewy, with a slight bitter finish. This is a very nice brew. It's been awhile since I've had a Stone beer, and this one is making me look for some more. Thanks Bill!

22oz bottle. Unfamiliar with Stone Brewing offerings, The color density was correct to style - the kind of astronomical dark matter that hides starlight and in which the subsequent exploration of one hopes to discover hidden wonders of the universe...or at least a pleasureable surprise. I was expecting a nominal "black" lagerish lightweight with just enough hop sting to qualify as an IPA. What the Stone Brewers delivered was MUCH MORE pleasureable. As a lover of thick creamy stouts and dark mysterious porters I was shocked to find this could ante itself up into a game of those styles. This is not a beer of accents but of balance. Nicely done! Feast upon this brew and enjoy the very long and very lingering espressoist afterglow.

[Best served in a Tulip glass]
The pour was a thick dark black with a large (2-3 finger) medium brown creamy head which had good retention reducing to a thick puddling thus creating some excellent sheets of lacing.
The aroma was of a pine hop, a roasted grain malt and a moldy yeast with notes of coffee, caramel, licorice, chocolate and a decent alcohol tinge.
The taste was a hoppy, malty and a tad sweet with a very mild hint of caramel and chocolate at first then progressed into a bitter, roasty, hoppy flavor with a big coffee note and a mild alcohol presence at the end. The flavor hung on for a good long time proceeding the swallow letting the hoppy roastiness settle in.
Mouthfeel was a bit beyond medium in body with a dry, oily texture and a nice lively carbonation.
Overall an exceptionally well balanced Black IPA with just the right amount of everything working together.

Probably should have drank this when I bought it a few weeks ago. Somehow didn't get around to it until now. Looks like a pretty big beer.
Oh my goodness me is that some nice aroma. Such pleasant and pleasing fruitiness with tropical qualities like mango. Additional complexity with a bit of citrus and brisk shot of the malt, the dark malt to be exact lending a spicy, peppery, cooked malt. This is quite unique and exceptional.
Looks attractive as can be. Big frothy, rocky dark head covering a black, black body.
Wow, that's pretty darn good. Highly complex but with so much more malt character. One pretty big issue for me is the harsh flavor that comes from excessive hops - and this one has it - too bad it's the only flaw, but it's significant. It's not the bitterness, which while there and strong isn't' in excess. Well hidden alcohol considering the high level.
A bit bigger that moderate. Well done creamy feel from size and carbonation. Nice feel.
I don't like the flavor from excessive hop oils. Too bad as so much else was so good.
