The Beer Advocate says this beer has a “dark fruit character, some sweetness like dark brown sugar an a bit of clove.”

The Daily Loaf talks of its scent of  ”sweet honey, citrus, roasted grain, alcohol, and milk chocolate.”

Beer Critic says it “begins bubbly, sweet, and washy, middles to a fruity candy, finishes dark with some bitterness.”

I say it’s not for people who like mass-produced American beers: it’s neither fizzy nor overcarbonated. This brew has personality and purpose. I like a dark beer, and this one didn’t disappoint.

Not a shot I would normally take, this was for the monthly scavenger hunt’s “heartsickness” category this February.

I took this photo for the February 2010 Monthly Scavenger Hunt; the clue was “Love Letter.” I keep this on my desk at work.

Peanuts and shells

There’s a hamburger chain called Five Guys that’s growing like crazy, so we went to see what all the fuss was about. I wish I could tell you.

Our fries were burnt, and they only serve their burgers “well done and juicy.” In other words, they burn the meat, but there’s so much grease you probably won’t notice. Their menu is really simple – reminds me of In and Out Burger, but with the addition of jalapeños as an option.

…and for some reason, they have big boxes of peanuts available for appetizers. Help yourself – they have more.
