Lawless – Here is a disappointingly bland movie, supposedly based on a true story, about three brothers who operated a backwoods moonshine business in prohibition-era Virginia. A lot of talent - on both sides of the camera - was involved with this film, and earlier in the year it was being touted as a potential awards contender. No such luck will be had. Lawless fell far short of my expectations and was much less than the sum of it's parts.
Tom Hardy plays the leader of the bootlegging Bondurant clan, and Shia LaBouef plays his younger brother who comes of age when a corrupt lawman (an epically over-the-top Guy Pierce) attempts to topple the family operation. The third brother, played by Jason Clarke, serves virtually no purpose in the plot except to look mean. Violence, sex, bad dialogue, and unintentional laughter ensue, and not necessarily in that order. Hardy is great, Jessica Chastain does her best with an utterly useless role, and Piece has great fun hamming it up. Too bad the great Gary Oldman only gets five minutes of screen time. Wait for Redbox or basic cable. GRADE: C-
Cosmopolis – This movie is a rough approximation of the types of nightmares that I image people like Donald Trump have. Global markets are imploding, currency values are wildly erratic, wealth is vanishing, and the "99%" are rioting in the street. Based on a 2003 novel of the same name, which was written in response to the bursting of the tech bubble that took place around the turn of the millennium, this movie seems even more relevant today in light of the Occupy Wall Street movement and the volatility of the global economy.
Just because the film is relevant doesn't necessarily mean it's accessible, though. It's not, at all. Most of Cosmopolis takes place in the back of a limousine, as young billionaire Eric Packer (a surprisingly good Robert Pattinson) is driven through cross-town gridlock on his way to get a haircut. Although it consists almost entirely of dense conversation, I found myself thoroughly engaged. Top-shelf director David Cronenberg creates a surreal, almost dream-like atmosphere - the people don't really emote and they all speak in monotone and stare straight ahead – but it takes on a hypnotic quality and gives the audience time to reflect on its complex themes.
I don't necessarily recommend this to people looking for a fun night out at the movies, but it's definitely worth watching for people who enjoy challenging, thought-provoking films. GRADE: B+
Side by Side – This excellent documentary is a film-lover's dream. It's about the uneasy transition underway in Hollywood from the traditional filmmaking techniques that have existed for well over a century (shooting movies on film) to the modern techniques that are taking over the industry (shooting movies on advanced digital cameras). Within a few years, movies shot on rolls of actual celluloid film will be few and far between – actually, they already are – and movies shot digitally wil become the norm.
A well-informed Keanu Reeves interviews many of Hollywood's premier directors, cinematographers, editors, and actors, and the film does a great job of weighing the pros and cons of today's digital revolution. Filmmakers like Christopher Nolan (and his Director of Photography Wally Pfister) advocate shooting on film, arguing that the picture quality is unmatched and that the transition to digital is being driven by large studios primarily as a cost-savings measure. Conversely, George Lucas, who was the first director to shoot a big-budget Hollywood movie entirely with digital cameras, and others argue that digital cinema frees filmmakers from the enormous costs and signficant constraints of film, allowing them to be even more free and creative.
Although I can't image this film appealing to anyone other than hardcore movie fans, I enjoyed it tremendously. I could have listened to master directors like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Steven Soderbergh, James Cameron, David Fincher and others talk about their craft for hours. If one thing became clear to me, though, it's that the argument of film vs. digital is largely unimportant – great artists will make great art regardless of the tools they have at their disposal. One format isn't necessarily better or worse than the other, just different. Cinema as an art form isn't going anywhere, and that's really all that matters. GRADE: B+
Chris Ferreira's only qualification for writing this blog is that he is a passionate movie lover. As it relates to writing about film, however, he thinks that is the best qualification one can have. His interest in film encompasses all eras and genres, from early silent films to quirky independent films, from foreign art-house films to mainstream blockbusters, and everything in between. Chris is a Taunton resident, and a graduate of Taunton High School and UMass Dartmouth. You can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @cm_ferreira.

The Internet, it seems, has found its version of vinyl chic.
Just as the LP has enjoyed a second spin among retro-minded music fans, animated GIFs — the choppy, crude snippets of video loops that hark back to dial-up modems — are enjoying an unlikely vogue as the digital accessory of the moment.
Hypnotically repeating GIFs are popping up in art galleries in Berlin, Miami and New York. In fashion advertising, they are suddenly as hot as ironic brogues, being used in online marketing campaigns for brands such as Burberry, Diesel and Jack Spade. Online, there are GIF contests both highbrow and low, and "best of" GIF roundups.
"For people in their 20s, GIFs are a relic of their childhood, so it makes sense they would come back as a fashion statement — just like '70s fashion came back in the '90s, and the '90s are coming back around now," said Jason Tanz, executive editor of Wired.
It's an unlikely renaissance for a geeky computer format that dates from 1987, the Internet's Paleozoic era. That was when CompuServe (founded in Columbus), the Internet service provider, developed the "graphics interchange format" as a way to give color and movement to the Web.
Thanks to the animated GIF, first-generation Internet memes such as the dancing baby (later appropriated by Ally McBeal) were spread.
The format has since grown up. Artists and photographers have used GIF technology to push far beyond the lo-fi novelty of Web 1.0. Consider the Wigglegram, a craze on Tumblr, which creates a jaunty 3-D effect by looping multiple images shot from slightly different perspectives, like an old-fashioned stereopticon.
In addition to looking more fluid and professional, GIFs are becoming easier to create, thanks to Web-based apps such as GIFSoup and Gifninja, which allow people to create them in an instant, said Brad Kim, the editor of Know Your Meme, a site that tracks Web fads of the moment.
And pop-culture GIFs have gained cultural currency as a way to distill big televised moments into short visual bites.
Recent examples include Taylor Swift's singalong to a Bob Marley tune during the Feb. 10 Grammy presentations, Beyonce avoiding a wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl and Michelle Obama's apparent eye roll at John Boehner last month.

Zero Liability Protection for Lost & Stolen Cards
Have peace of mind knowing that the financial institution that issued your MasterCard or Debit MasterCard card won't hold you responsible for "unauthorized purchases." Zero liability applies to purchases made in the store, over the telephone or online. As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible in the event of unauthorized purchases provided that the following conditions are met:
- Your account is in good standing.
- You have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your card from any unauthorized use. Unauthorized use means that you did not provide, directly, by implication or otherwise, the right to use your card and you received no benefit from the "unauthorized" purchase.
- You have not reported two or more unauthorized events in the past 12 months.
Zero Liability does not apply to MasterCard or Debit MasterCard cards:
(i) issued for commercial, business or agricultural purposes, except for MasterCard commercial cards used for small businesses as listed on www.mastercardbusiness.com; or
(ii) issued or sold "anonymously" (for example, a prepaid card purchased in a store), until such time as the identity of the cardholder has been registered with the financial institution that issued the card; or
(iii) if a PIN is used for the unauthorized purchase.
What to do ...
If you have questions regarding zero liability coverage or you suspect unauthorized use of your card, contact your issuing financial institution IMMEDIATELY.
If any of the conditions set forth above are not met, then your liability may not be zero but it may be limited by your issuing financial institution or federal, state or local law. Again, check with your issuing financial institution.
For the application of Zero Liability outside of the United States, check your MasterCard regional site.

This is a 20 foot jon boat that I bought from GEORGIA DNR about 8 or 9 years ago. I was going to build a Duck- fishing boat but never got around to it. I stripped the hull and primed it with zinc chromate primer and shot two coats of marine enamel paint. The motor is a 1985 Mariner 60hp made by Mercury. It needs a stator, two wires rotted.see pics. The trailer is a heavy duty by Gator trailers. It has surge brakes and it tilts. The price is firm, just try finding a boat and trailer this size for less.

Thanks to Dan for this one. I've been looking for this for a while now. 22oz bottle into a Cantillon balloon. Reviewed from notes.
Pours pitch black with a thin mocha head with little retention. Spotty lace with thin legs. Solid.
Nose is cocoa, smoke, roast, molasses, sweet grape, fudge, anise and a mellow booziness. Real aromatic and complex.
Opens anise, plum, roasted and smoked malt, chocolate and cocoa. Chocolate in the morning with an addition of plum and grape in the end. Finishes smoky with hints of cocoa powder. Aftertaste is dark fruit. Pretty nice.
Medium to full bodied with low carbonation. Mellow and smooth in the mouth and goes down silky. Messy finish with a filmy, sticky aftertaste. Complements the flavor well.
Overall a pretty good beer and I'm glad I got the chance to try this one. The fruit and barrel aging has mostly fallen off but the smoke, roast and mellow fruit presence keep this an interesting brew.

Thanks to Kyle and Todd for bottles of this elusive beer.
Midnight Sun brews stouts that are incredibly pleasing to the eye, and this is no exception. Jet black, with a thick, dark brown head with excellent retention and lacing, this is a gorgeous stout. The nose is great. The smoke character here is delicate, moderately earthy and a little meaty, and the wine barrels are an inspired choice. Pairing well with the robust chocolate, roast and espresso of the base stout, the fruity vinous notes are excellent. Mildly jammy as well, the wine character is expressed very well .
The palate is truly unique. Very jammy and fruity from the wine, this is among the fruitier imperial stouts I've had. Flavors of blackberry and black cherriy come to mind, before the base stout, powerful in depth and balance, takes over. Plenty of dark chocolate (85%ish?), heavily roasted malts and a mild smoke character are present. The smoke character is really mellow here, most noticeable as an earthy, smoldering wet wood bitterness and flavor that's present towards the finish. A moderate spice character, anise being most prominent, is present as well. The finish is long and excellent, with a great blend of roast, bitterness and chocolate, with the unexpected (but wholly welcome) fruitiness from the wine. Oak character is minimal here. Medium-full in body with soft, creamy carbonation, this feels really great on the palate - so soft and so supple! Highly recommended.

Big thanks goes out to beeruser and funkydelic for sharing this one at a past Random Sunday Tasting! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured pitch black with a minimal brown head. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, caramel, dark fruit, sweet alcohol, wood, spices, and smoke. The flavor was of sweet malt, caramel, roasted malt, dark fruit, dark chocolate, wood, smoke, spices, and molasses. It had a heavy feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was an excellent brew. How had I never tried this before this??? Wow! This beer was definitely on a whole new level as it was quite enjoyable while being very complex and challenging. All of the right flavors were there for the style and were all there in a nice intense but not overpowering amount. This made it quite easy to drink and very enjoyable. Really glad I got the opportunity to try this one and I suggest you dig in your cellar to do the same. You won't regret it.

Insanely dark, among the darkest beers I have had and equally thick --- thick enough to stain the glass at the sides. Vanilla, sweet booze and spice, subtle smoke, dark fruit in volumes, roast at the end. Pretty darn good. Silky feel and medium carbonation.
Thanks Dan.

651mL thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours an ink color- used motoroil. Opaque with a large, dense, deep brown head. Yessss. Nose...apples and similar to CCB Hunahpu nose. Cocoa, dark chocolate, red apple. Taste is rich, mild smokiness and bacon, big sweetness, small lemon, big strawberry and brown sugar. Sort of a disappointment with not much smoked character. 7/5/7/4/14=3.7

Huge thanks to Kyle for opening this one. One of the most intense and balanced imperial stout I've had. Molasses, chocolate cake, vanilla and oak. Alcohol join the sweetness and intensity from the malts and brings this beer to a whole new level. Some dark fruits in the taste. Very rich and lovely palate.

Bottle shared by Mike. Thanks! Pours thick jet black with than head. Aroma is roasted malt and smoke. Dense and creamy mouthfeel. Almost as if it was made with oats. Taste was very nice meld of smoke, peat, coffee, roasted malt, and an herbal note. Very nice beer.

massive thanks to vitese for the kind trade. enjoyed from a midnight sun tulip. Notes from 8/29.
a - dark and thick, like motor oil with a thin creamy head and streaky lacing. looks like a stout aught to look.
s - smoked indeed. some peat. some oak. some char. more porter than stout from the smokiness. good chocolate fruity roasty notes.
t - Wow...that's GOOD! really perfect amount of smoke. chocolate malts. some peat and smokiness from the wood. the roast is great. doesn't feel like red wine barrels, but it is a stout so haven't had many aged in red wine barrels, but upon realizing it was aged in red wine barrels, i can definitely believe it. there are some nice dark fruit notes in there which very well could be from the red wine barrels.
m - thick, rich, velvety. highlight of the beer is the mouthfeel. the ABV is totally invisible. i was shocked to see the number tied with the ABV.
o - overall, one of the best smoked beers i've ever had. really great chocolate notes intermingling with a perfect amount of smoke. this is what a smoked stout should be.

Always been a want. Smoked beer in wine barrels? Don't mind if I do! Huge ups to starrdogg for this mini whale. Poured into my FFF Teku.
A - Dense and dark, very viscous when pouring. Medium brown head that laces decently well.
S - Super slight touch of smoke right up front, lots more dark fruit and roastiness. There is this really bizarre metallic smell when first poured. (note: this dissipates when it warms up). Concerning.
T - Boom. The smokiness and juicy, fruity red wine right up front. They blend together perfectly, crazily enough. There is a big amount of roast and smoke on the back end.
M - Silky smooth, crazily slow for the smoke/barrel. Not a touch of alcohol in any facet. Amazing.
O - Wow. I was both super intrigued and dubious about this beer. Needless to say, even after the rocky start, this beer delivers and some. I don't know if I'll ever be able to drink it again (or how long it'll hold up), but I can't imagine this beer isn't right near it's sweet spot right now. A mini whale that stands up to the hype!

Bottle shared by a generous soul at Woodshop
Look: Black as hell with a small maybe 1/8 inch tan head (small pour) with ok retention and some spotty lacing left on the glass
Smell: The nose was rather faint. The label says smoked imperial stout so I was expecting quite a bit of smoke and it is there but very faint. Following the smoke is some chocolate and oak
Taste: Again damn it where is the smoke??? Very faint smoke and just quite malty. There is a some roasted malt mid palate and has a fair amount of oak on the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to thick body with medium to low carbonation.
Overall: This is one of those beers that I am glad I did not trade for as I am quite let down. Based on the other reviews it almost seems like I had a totally different beer from everyone else or this beer was improperly stored and time has been harsh to it. Either way the beer was very lack luster at best and most definitely not worth the headache. I would love to try it again in the future to see if maybe I just had a bad bottle

Bottle pour at Woodshop 7 held at Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach, CA.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and some slight soy sauce aromas. Taste is much the same with a mild roasty bitterness on the palate after each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with some solid aromas and flavors that make it pretty easy to drink

Bottle in to firestone tulip
served at cellar temp
Color: Pours almost jet black. Hints of mocha shine around the edges of the glass. A nice tan one finger head forms in the glass, but it dissolves quite quickly.
Nose: Just superb! Light smoke, roast, and great oak presence. Hints of roasted coffee beans, mellow chocolate, with hints of tobacco. Quite complex.
Palate: Medium to full bodied. Extremely drinkable with the perfect amount of carbonation. The abv is well masked throughout the beer. On the tongue you first get the smoke followed by waves of roasted coffee and tobacco. At the back end the vanilla and cab barrel presence begins to show.
Finish: Smooth and uber complex. Great texture and layers. An incredible stout that shines above all others out there.

A- Thick motor oil black with a 2 finger dark brown head. Small blotches of lacing on the glass.
S- Sweet dark fruits, chocolate and a slight smoke aroma.
T- Similar to the nose with sweet dark fruits coming through, nice chocolate and coffee notes as well.
M- Full body, medium carbonation. Perfect mouth feel, very smooth and creamy.
O- Amazing RIS! Great combination of sweet dark fruits, chocolate and slight smokiness. ISO

Poured from the bottle into my Hunahpu's snifter.
Appearance: The beer pours black with a layer of tan head that fades to a ring around the pour.
Smell: Sweet and quite smokey. Lots of dark fruit, I am picking up some wine like qualities. I'm also getting some alcohol heat.
Taste: This is a very smokey beer, especially right off the bat. The first sip reminded me of barbecue sauce. I'm pretty sure it's the combination of the smoked malt and the wine. Things blend together and mellow after a few sips. The finish is a tad bitter with a nice smoke level. There was also a hint of dark chocolate from the malt.
Mouthfeel: The body is just on the thick side of medium with tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: This was a very good and extremely interesting beer. The wine barrels and smoke worked well together. I wouldn't want all of my stouts to taste like this, but I'm glad this one did.

Big long time want
Thanks to Nicks6217 for the bottle
A-- Poured and settled motor oil black. Thin, half finger of dark leather head that quickly went to a ringed collar. Not too bad a lacing for the size of this. Visually a big beer and a lot of a dark, oily substance left behind through drinking.
S-- Dark coco, oak, dark fruits burnt tires, or rubber, and red wine. Just a huge nose with this. Impressive as heck and very full on.
T-- See above but amped up. Just a full on taste. Lots of chocolate, burnt tires, dark plum and strawberry, red wine, ash and char. Well hidden alcohol.
M-- Full bodied and light to no carbonation. Slick and oily but very velvety and easy to drink. More wine like in a lot of respects with the amount of fruit in the mid and back palate. Finishes quite dry and coating. Almost parching dry. Stunning with it's balance in the mouth. Just bits of smoke in the back of palate.
O-- Seriously a top 5 stout. Dry as heck monster but easy to drink. More fruit than expected, mixed in with enough chocolate. Well hidden alcohol and only real complaint is not enough smoke. One of the best imperial stouts I have tried in the last 18 months. More European than American due to the lack of sweetness and how dry it was. Pleasure to drink.

Been stashed away in my cellar for almost a year. Today is as good as any day to try this one. Opened on 5.27.12.
A - Pours a motor oil black with a very small dark tan head that quickly fades to the edges.
S - Mostly chocolate at first, then some subtle coffe and booze come out.
T - Again chocolate is noticeable at first, then a sweet, smokey wonder. Hard to place, but very good. Made me think of beef jerkey, and in a good way.
D - A heavier body and mild carbonation. Velvety smooth in the mouth.
O - So good. Smokey, but very sublte and well balanced. Subtle smoke, sweetness, coffee and chocolate, and some wow!

Thanks to Brian for bringing this to our tasting, 22oz bottle poured into a snifter. Never thought I'd be trying this one.
It pours a viscous jet black color, no light is getting through this guy. A nice caramel colored head appears, nice tight bubbles, about a half finger to a finger, dissipates quickly leaving behind no lacing but a nice ring of film along the rim of the glass as well as some residual film atop the beer. The aromas are wonderful, nice roasted coffee, charred wood, smokey malt, but I was impressed with how tame to overall level of smoke was. I'm not usually a fan of smoked beers or rauchbiers but the way Bar Fly highlighted smoke, without going overboard was amazing. Notes of dark fruit, chocolate and some sweet alcohol all show up in the nose as well. The flavors are wonderful, nice smooth, rich dark chocolate, dark fruits, cherries, plums, a bit of the wine, transitions nicely into the roastier flavors. The coffee element jumped out at me, nice layer of toasted wood, much fainter smoked malts, a bit alcohol with some caramel sweetness at the finish. The body is perfection, big, smooth, rich, syrupy, low carbonation, but just enough to enhance the richness and give it that big body.
Verdict: Can't say enough about this one. A huge shout out to Midnight Sun for this stout, the flavors are fantastic, not too smokey, but with just enough roast, bold, complex, smooth, rich and decadent, what more could you want in a stout?

I finally got to try this elusive beast of a stout.
Black pour with a very small chocolate colored head.
Smells like a big American stout. Dark chocolate, molasses, and vinious nose. Not as smokey as I had thought it would be. It's somewhat tame.
Bold dark chocolate fudge flavor. Some smokieness to cut the sweetness. Licorice. Thick coating on the tongue. Cab barrel adds a nice dryness to the beer but the chocolate flavor lingers on. I feel like this beer is somewhat similar to Zukhov.
It was similar to what I imagined it to be. Wished there was more smoke to it though.

From 04/14/12 notes. Poured into my Cigar City snifter.
a - Pours a very dark brown, almost black color, with one inch of tan head and moderate carbonation evident. Looks pretty good.
s - Smells of roasted malts, dark fruits, dark chocolate, smokey malts, lightly toasted and burnt malts, some wine, oak, and sweet fruit. Very nice nose; very roasty and chocolatey, and the smoke is light and nice.
t - Tastes of roasted malts, sweet dark fruits, oak, sweet chocolate, alcohol, smokey malts, molasses, burnt malts, and toasted malts. Still quite nice but the alcohol comes out in the taste.
m - Medium body and low carbonation. Super smooth and creamy body. Perfect mouthfeel for a stout for me.
o - Overall I thought this was a very good stout. The nose was great and the mouthfeel was perfect. A little more alcohol then I would like in the taste but world class and would love to have it again.

Served in a midnight sun glass. Beer is black and dark with a thin tan head of small wispy bubbles. Some lacing. Low carbonation.
Aroma is boozy, sweet, anise, nice. A little boozer than I thought.
Medium to big in body. Fudge, sweet, smoke, licorice, nice. Good finish. Mildly bitter. I enjoyed it.

From notes.
Bar Fly pours completely black with a small tan head. The cap stays around for a minute before fading to a few wisps.
The aroma is fairly sweet; sweet milk chocolate, vanilla, and molasses.
The flavor is very smooth, blending all of the flavors together in harmony, and follows the nose while being a little bit less sweet. There are some red wine notes and slight tannic nature in the middle of the sip. Lactose, chocolate, roasted malt base, red wine, a bit of coffee, vanilla, and oak.
Silky smooth, thick, creamy, chewy, and viscous. The carbonation is creamy.
Overall this is a pretty fantastic beer.

22oz bottle poured into my Portsmouth tulip. It poured thick looking and pitch black in color. A thin, frothy, dark colored head barely covers the top of the beer and is already sticking to the edges of the glass.
The aroma is showing a really nice chocolatey flavor with some red wine and dark fruits to it. I get some woody oak and vanilla mixing in along with just a hint of smoke. A little bit of alcohol is present, but not bad for the abv. Great aroma overall, it had some really good, bold flavors to it but they really come together well.
The taste blends the roasty, chocolaty, slightly smoky flavors of the Imperial stout with the Cabernet barrel characteristics perfectly. The base imperial stout really comes together well, it's extremely smooth and flavorful. I get some oak and vanilla coming from the barrel aging, but the slight wine like, dark fruit character that comes out in it is what really impresses me. It gives it a little bit of a chocolatey wine character that I'm really liking. Some darker, bitter-sweet chocolate seems to balance out the finish. The flavors really compliment each other in it, with so much going on I'm extremely impressed how well it came together.
The mouthfeel is on the heavier side and somewhat slick. Carbonation is on the lower side. Overall it was a fantastic beer. Everything came together pretty much perfectly in it. I loved how well the wine barrel complimented the imperial stout flavors. It was so smooth and so flavorful. I'm buying the hype on this one, I thought it was really something special.

Pours dark black with a two finger mocha head, with good retention and lacing. The aroma is amazing. Chocolate, cocoa, black licorice, smoked malt, and molasses. If this tastes as good as it smells, this should be phenomenal.
The taste is sublime. Chocolate, cocoa, black licorice, smoked malt, molasses, vanilla, and oak combine beautifully to make one of the best Imperial Stouts I have had. There is also a light amount of roasted malt for some balance. Given the flavors, one might expect this beer to be cloyingly sweet, but it is not. This is just a very well made beer.
Full bodied, rich, and creamy with moderate carbonation. Very smooth, and a pleasure to drink. the alcohol is well disguised. I can't believe this beer has 12.60 % abv from the taste. It is a shame this beer was only brewed once. In my opinion, this beer should be an annual release.

A huge thanks to Jason (jrallen34) for sharing this at AgentZero's birthday tasting. This is a beer I never thought I'd try. Taken from notes and review 700.
Appearance – Pours into my trusty tulip with a dark black color and some great looking mocha colored head. The finger of head dissipates quickly leaving very little lacing.
Smell – Huge chocolate, heavy roasted malts, nice smoke characteristics (though not overbearing), vanilla, oak, and some cocoa.
Taste – I will be the first to admit smoked stouts are not often my thing. I also will state that when a beer is given to me by someone and I did not have to put my blood, sweat, and tears into obtaining it, I could care less whether it was rare or not (not that I rate things higher if I traded heavily for them, but we all know there is most likely some subconscious bumping of scores). That said, wow. A very balanced beer with so many distinct flavors. Begins with heavy roast and bittersweet chocolate. It then moves to the hint of smokiness (again, not overbearing thankfully) and melds with vanilla and tannic oak. Dates, prunes, and raisins mixed with molasses. Ends with more roast/smoke.
Mouthfeel – Medium bodied, lower carbonation, finishes nice and dry.
Overall – Not your "normal" smoked beer in my opinion, meaning it is not overly in your face that no other flavors can be ascertained. A freaking great beer and very happy to have been able to try it.

the breakfast was very poor, just 2 pieces of bread, and coffee and tea. To say that breakfast is included it should at least include a piece of fruit and something a little more substantial than bread.

A really nice feature is that the dorms are ensuite, and that you have a sink in the room, and then the shower is also separated from the WC. Really enjoyed the alternative tour to Perito Moreno glacier. Breakfast that's included in the dorm rate is bad (two slices of bread, butter and jam), so you better buy something yourself. But the hostel itself is really nice, situated across a pretty little patio, and the staff is really friendly.

Capital Grille - NY – Time Life Building
Online Reservations
From the moment you set foot in, you are treated like royalty. Our server, Tracie, was outstanding. We were never rushed or led to order more expensive dishes. All dishes, when requested, were explained perfectly.
The Capital Grill is fabulous with an inviting & romantic atmosphere. Our waiter, Jon, was superb, attentive & very polite. Try the Beef Oscar & coconut pie. Give Jon & Capital Grill an A+!
Great job as usual. Your lobster, crab, and fish are amazing....the best!
The pre-theatre menu is a good value. The food is very good and so was our waiter Ken.
The steaks and seafood are always terrific but the lobster Mac and cheese as the ultimate comfort food was unbelievable!!
We returned to the Capital Grille after a "less than perfect" experience. This time we were not disappointed. Everything was EXCELLENT as we expected it to be. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The waiter was great. It was a great experience. To the credit of the restaurant, the wine list has some very moderately priced bottles of wine. They also made us something "off the menu" when we told them what we really would like as a side dish. We were very positively impressed by the restaurant.
i highly recommend this restaurant. i waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. our waitress, jeanette was very knowledgable - she explained many menu items very thoroughly. she was very nice and attentive too. they give good portions and everything we ordered was delicious. i would definitely dine there again.
Excellent as always. We were a party of six celebrating a birthday. They took our picture and presented it to us in a very nice frame/
Service was outstanding~Thanks to our water Ed we got to our show on time and enjoyed a delicious dinner!
Stick with the simple steaks, no need to gussy them up with special sauces I love the calorie count next to each dish. It encouraged me to switch from crab/shrimp cakes to oysters as my appetizer. Food is delicious, Ask for a booth. It's quiet and private and perfect for a romantic evening or confidential business meeting. I've been to the other mega steak restaurants in this neighborhood. Don't bother; Capital l Grille is the best!
Excellent food combined with top shelf service. This is a terrific place for a business dinner or friendly gathering.
I had an opportunity to work with Mulcy, who did an amazing job with keeping an appropriate pace with the entire dinner. Everyone there is extremely nice and professional and go above and beyond to make the experience truly amazing!! You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! Enjoy, Alan
My husband and I are completely satisfied with our election. We went to The Capital Grille to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary and it was a great experience! We sure will return the next time we visit NYC.
The ladies and the gentlemen enjoyed the range of the menu selections. I asked that our group of six not be seated near the kitchen service door. We were located on a balcony which made our experience ideal! Despite being out of the way, attention from servers was just right.
As usual another great dinner. My husband and I love the food in this restaurant. Service is top notch and we will continue to go back.
I took client to the Capital Grill and the food and wait staff did an excellent job. The food was superb. The wait staff was very polite and didn't interrupt conversations. Highly endorse this as a great restaurant for your most valued clients!
Extraordinary !!! Is 1 word I can describe the food , the steaks was so juicy & tender it literally melted n my mouth. The lobster mac n cheese was ok it wasn't nothing I'll jump out if my seat to try. The parmesan fries was really good
We always enjoy dining at Capital Grille. We were there to celebrate my birthday with our two sons. We ordered from the pre-theatre menu. Since my older son has allergies, we asked if string beans could be substituted for the two vegetables listed. We were told "No". I asked to see the Manager and he said the cost of string beans is much higher than the cost of spinach and we would have to pay the $11 for the string beans. We agreed. Unfortunately, they didn't come out until my son was done with his steak. They also were very oversalted and so he left most of them over.
I have been to Capitale Grilles all over the USA, and find the meat there to be consistently delicious!! The service and wines are great too and when a birthday is being celebrated, the staff always makes it festive with confetti on the table and extra treats! Yes, it is a "chain"...but a great one!!
We have dined at various Capital Grilles over the years for both business and pleasure and have always found them to be right on the mark. The staff is very attentive and the food is excellent. It is our go to destination for an outstanding dining experience.
Once again the service and food was top notch!! Michael Hart the Manager is very courteous, Steve Pond our waiter knocked it out of the park with his pleasant demeanor and awesome customer service!!! I must mention Neda, who also is so genuine and personable. Thanks, you guys are a great team. Highly recommend working with Neda Ebrahimi or Steve Pond!!!
Al is always wonderful at this Capital Grille, except for the dim lights
The sole and grouper were fabulous. Trying to replicate the lobster bisque. Exquisite. Best of all, the wait staff was perfect, especially Hanna from Savannah.
Capital Grill always cooks steaks and chops too perfection! Awesome sides and oodles of them - Yummy coconut crème pie but their best secret weapon is their crab salad - wow- and plentiful - what a buy! Friendliest and knowledgeable staff. Enjoy this food fest & thank you American Express for introducing me to the Capital Grill 3 yrs ago
You need to ask for the special menu even though they advertise the special at the entrance. ($39.00). You get 3 choices for an app, Caesar salad, regular salad and clam chowder were on the menu that night ( I think it is standard). Nice rolls and sweetened butter. We both chose the 14 oz Kona rub sirloin and mashed potatoes and cream spinach come with it. Waitress was very attentive. Other entree choices were 8oz filet, salmon and ? Four dessert choices, flourless chocolate cake, creame brûlée, sorbet, ice cream. The wine/drinks ran about $10 each. Dinner only took about 90 minutes, so you could go later if you have an 8:00 show. The restaurant was very close to the theater for Jersey Boys so that was a plus.
Been to the Capital Grille near the Chrysler bldg and now here. Both are incredible and exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Amazing food, impeccable service, and worth every penny. Jon was incredibly attentive and very patient with our large group. I'll definitely come back to this location.
It was our 25th wedding anniversary, and the Capital Grille helped make it a special night. From the little decorations and congratulations card on the table to the complimentary glasses of champagne and the special dessert, all was perfect. Food was delicious, server (Hannah) was excellent, we will definitely be back!
The service was spectacular and food is excellent.
Enjoyed a wonderful meal with family and friends after my daughter had completed the NYC Marathon. Great service fromJose our waiter! Great spot for the best beef and seafood.
Food cooked to perfection. Service outstanding ! Have not experienced such service in a while at other restsurants.
My wife and I had a very delicious, romantic and I rushed dinner for two. The food and service were excellent!
Nice atmosphere, although a little noisy. Food was excellent; Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella with vine ripe tomatoes as an app was delicious; the Chilean Sea Bass was cooked perfectly as was the filet mignon; and the Lobster Mac & Cheese side was absolutely outstanding!! Overall service was friendly and, for the most part, timely...our waiter left some to be desired. Great wine list, although we opted for cocktails. Pricey, but no more than you'd expect given the location. I definitely would return.
The pre theater menu is fantastic! Same items, less than 1/2 price of later! Everything was perfect. Do try it.
I usually go to Capital for diner but this time I had a lunch. Great menu for lunch , for the price unbeatable, great service. Excellent food. The best truffles fries in the world.
Capital Grille continues to serve up excellent food, good service and fine wines. Try the Kona Rub Bone In Sirloin. It was excellent!
Excellent all around, highly recommend Capital Grille. On the pricy side but well worth every penny
Can not say one bad thing about it!! Worth every penny!
I don't even know where to start! This has been one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food was amazing; the service was top of the line! I just can't get over the overall experience. Everything is so tenderly prepared to one's individual likings; and the portions are surprisingly generous. Took my Mom out for her birthday and she was so impressed and loved every moment of it; including the happy birthday dessert! I have no complaints whatsoever. I will definitely return!
This is the best Capital Grille. Entrees were excellent, and desserts wonderful. If you go to any Caoital Grille, make it this one
Kudos to our waiter Robert who treated us to an array of desserts when he learned that we were celebrating out 5th anniversary!
This was our fourth visit to this branch and we have always been very satisfied. The food is very good, the portions the right size and the server, Ed Sullivan was professional, cordial and helpful.
The service was amazing and so was the food. They offer a theatre menu which was also great!!
This was my first time at the Capital Grille in NYC. It was a business dinner for 4 and I requested a quiet table. I was very pleased that the host put us in a small side room which was much quieter than the main dining room. Our server was excellent. Everyone ordered steaks and they were also excellent and cooked to perfection, but the sides - not so much. The parmesan truffle fries tasted moldy, and the green beans tasted like they had Vicks Vap-O-Rub on them. I look forward to the sides as much as the steak and I was very disappointed.
Superb dining experience from start to finish. Last Saturday, we celebrated my sister's 50th birthday. Our table was decorated with birthday confetti, and the restaurant left a personally signed birthday card on the table. Nice touch! Our server (Princess) paid attention to every detail- providing us with black napkins instead of white to prevent lint from getting on our black pants. The wine list was very extensive and the menu had a very nice variety. The food was delicious and plentiful and the service was top-notch. They brought out a complimentary birthday dessert plate with "Happy Birthday" stenciled onto the plate in chocolate with a small cheesecake and a flourless chocolate cake. Most memorable dining experience in NYC.
Chose the a la carte menu rather than turkey dinner, fantastic filets, quick service and the place was packed.
We were there on Thanksgiving day and this place was not a turkey. From the truffle fries to the pumpkin cheesecake with steak in between, all foods were very very tastey . Fresh baked breads and good wine topped it off and we had a great time. The atmosphere was fab and so was the service.
My daughter and I are from out of town and were visiting NYC for Thanksgiving and the Macy's parade, etc. We made the reservation at The Capital Grille based on previous experience with the locations in Atlanta. This was a very pleasant experience, because our server was from Georgia. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu and freely gave her recommendations. The food was excellent and the service even better. I am very glad we made this choice.
From the moment we walked in the service was phenomenal!!!!!!! We were early so we went into the bar. The bartender recommended a house made pineapple infused vodka Martini. He even gave us a sample. It was Thanksgiving and they explained our menu choices who's we had drinks in the bar. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Our family of seven adults were placed in an area where we were comfortability and Able to talk easily. The service continued to be fantastic! The food was great. .. best turkey I ever had in restaurant. Needless to say we would go back again when in NYC.
Good food and service. Nothing out of the ordinary but very solid. Not much different than the other steakhouses in Midtown.
We had had a poor experience, and after writing about it the restaurant went out of their way to correct it. Wow did that pay off. We came back and had a great meal, and have had more great meals since. Had Ms. Trumbull not reached out to us we wouldn't have returned. The pre theatre prix fixed menu is terrific. Same food, same portions, 1/2 the price. We enjoyed it very much and will return.

Frustrated neighbours of crack shacks, drug dens and other troublesome properties will soon be able to make confidential complaints to a government office that can shut down the sites.
Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the new office, introduced in the legislature on Thursday, would investigate troublesome properties, and get owners to clean up their act and deal with neighbourhood complaints.
"Imagine for a moment that there is a crack shack on the street where you live," Bond said. "The problem started with vehicles coming and going all hours of the day and night, people yelling on the sidewalks late at night, maybe you witnessed used syringes or drug paraphernalia on the lawn … You, of course, called the police, who kept showing up to investigate and make arrests.
"But even though the characters might change, the problems don't go away. We intend to give neighbours of properties like these a safe and effective and timely solution, one that holds property owners accountable when dangerous and threatening activities regularly occur on their property."
A new provincial director of community safety will accept anonymous complaints and investigate properties such as party houses, marijuana grow-ops, prostitution sites, drug- trafficking operations, gang hangouts and anywhere liquor or weapons are unlawfully possessed, the government said.
The office has the power to send warning letters and apply to a court for a community safety order.
With a court order, the government can evict troublesome tenants, erect fences, install locks, alter property without consent and shutter an entire site for up to 90 days, according to the bill tabled in the legislature.
Complaints are confidential, and if the identity of a person complaining is known, it can't be shared with police, the courts or anyone else without permission, the proposed act says. The landlord or property owner gets a bill for the government's work.
Police praised the move and said problem properties can be a source of crime.
"For us to go to a home that's being used as a crack shack and the landlord is absentee, which they are the vast majority of times, this allows some pressure to be put on the landlord to clean up their act, especially if it's an ongoing problem," said Saanich Police Chief Mike Chadwick.
In Saanich, the biggest problem is absentee landlords who "turn a blind eye as much as they can" to the drug and criminal activity of their tenants, Chadwick said.
The property is rented again and again to the same type of people, despite arrests, he said.
The proposed law says landlords and owners who don't comply with orders are subject to a $10,000 fine and six months in jail.
The fine rises to $100,000 for repeat offences if the owner or landlord is a corporation.
NDP critic Bruce Ralston said the idea is almost identical to a bill he introduced in 2009, but which the Liberal government did not support. It's a useful tool for police and neighbours, and it's likely the Opposition will support the bill's passage into law, he said.
Other Canadian provinces have similar offices in place, Bond said.

An orphaned baby kangaroo and an orphaned baby wombat taken in by an Australia animal rescue center are apparently quite taken with each other. The duo are inseparable, and even share a custom-designed pouch.
Anzac is a 5-month-old kangaroo, taken in by the Wild about Wildlife Rescue Centre near Melbourne, Australia, after he was discovered abandoned in the wild. At the rescue center, Anzac made fast friends with Peggy the wombat, and the two quickly became inseparable. According to The Mercury, the two marsupials get on so famously due to similar movements and heart rhythms.
"There are lots of baby animals about at the moment, and they are orphaned for a range of reasons," shelter employee Lisa Milligan said of the pair. She also said that Anzac and Peggy are developing their own personalities – Anzac is a highly social animal, while Peggy is boisterous and lively.
The pair will eventually outgrow each other, with Peggy growing to weigh roughly 65 pounds and Anzac becoming considerably heavier and taller when he reaches full maturity. According to NY Daily, the shelter attempts to pair each animal with a "partner" to ease release back into the wild. Anzac has already been partnered with another kangaroo named "Poppy," though they lament that Peggy "has only been in the shelter a few weeks, and we haven't found a partner for her."
The shelter is currently petitioning other shelters for a potential companion for the orphaned wombat.
Prepare yourself for some disgustingly adorable photos.
