BEER (and apparently, WINE)

I hate my busy season..too much work.  Posting from the road.

D'arenberg 'the footbolt' shiraz.
07

this is their entry level Shiraz, so about 16 bucks.  The Dead Arm (posting a few times earlier) is their premium.

The Footbolt is a jammy, heavy bruiser of a wine, subtle in the same way a brick to the forehead is subtle.
Nice strong flavors and a ittle coffee taste at the end makes this a fun, enjoyable wine.

Long Trail Blackberry Wheat. This bear was trying to steal a piece of pie, but it seems his wife caught him. Silly bear.

The color is a medium amber, but VERY clear.

The blackberry is definitely there, providing a not-unpleasant bite.

Pretty good beer, here. Again, no clue if Long Trail is offered outside of New England, but if you can find it...

Wait, are you really adding that to one of your settings? I feel honored!

Tonight's drink: CALICO JACK SPICED RUM!

Oh, and I think there might be some pepsi in here.

I rate this... an F. As in, how the F am I still typing?

Dear lord, I should not be getting used to twist-top bottles. It's just... not quite right.


Anyway, after a stretch with nothing but Bud Select 55 (yulch), I'm drinking Samuel Adams Winter Lager tonight. There's a hint of sweetness here, but this is definitely darker than what I've been used to. There's a bit of sweetness, and a bit of spice, and quite a bit of... some flavor that's almost, but somehow not entirely unlike a meatiness. Whatever it is, it's some body. I imagine this isn't too far from what people talk about when they mention "pleasant bitters."

90+ makes a bunch of yummy, fun wines.  French Fusion, Old Vine Malbec etc, are all very, very yummy wines.  I recommend them to those who want to try differnt types but want to keep the budget down.

It's 2am, I'm drunk, and I'm going to bed. I probably won't remember when my playlist switches away from Cake, somewhere between a half hour to an hour from now. I bid you all goodnight. I think. If I don't stay awake to listen to Cake...

When you notice that you pour your cola exactly the same way that you'd pour a beer, you might be starting to have what some people would call a "problem". I, on the other hand, would call it a "properly acquired useful skill". I thank you for not making my rum and coke flat.

Up in Portsmouth, NH, tonight.
The Montepulciano was amazing at Cava.

So was the food.  Go... Just go.  Om my god.  Small Plate heaven,

Wish I had the money to go to a place like that, looks really good. Think the fanciest place I've ever been to was an olive garden, and that's a rarity.

In short: vreeg I envy you :P

Well, I AM a lot older...though I don't like to admit it.

I didn't have time to tell you folk that at the end of all the magnificence, the boy got violetnly ill all over my wife.  Like...gouts.  To use the proper term.
