Voltron

Squire Duggeh brought me a little something from his homeland on his last visit to the States and I finally got around to cracking it today. The full story of the Brew Dog Prototype 27 is found on the Brew Dog Blog, but it is special bottling of Hardcore IPA with fresh Scottish raspberries that was aged in a 1982 Caol Ila cask and resulted in only 150 bottles!!! I think that has to be the most exclusive brew I have had that wasn't made in a friend's garage. I knew it was too cold when I started drinking it but I couldn't wait. The raspberries hit right up front and then the hops bite settles in. Now that it is warming and opening up a bit, the wood and smoke lay across my tongue on the finish. The blog tasting notes are more detailed and flowery. Thank you Duggeh, this a radical brew! Cheers!

Smoking some pork chops and making some home made spaetzle in an effort to recreate an especially good meal in Dresden this summer.

I'm a follower and made myself a Bourbon Dynasty. A big one.

Cherry top sounds nice. Jealous that you are tipsy! >

Well, that's not going to stop him from buying them...

Not sure you will get rid of the surface noise or pops and clicks if playing a record through headphones. Steady table, well set up arm/cart, clean records, and low static is about all you can do to minimize it. The NDs you hear have mostly been de-clicked and possibly even cleaned a bit to drop off the surface noise. \

Nope. I don't like that.^ Tomasz Stanko -- Dark Eyes

Mike's cherries sound scrumptious. Raffy's beers look delicious and make me want to leave work early.

Thanks Todd! I love Grahame's suggestion of adding that info to the New Content page, btw.

They're lousy, don't buy one.

In new content, you need to click on the date/time by the last poster's name and avatar. That takes you to the last post, the last page number or arrow takes you to the last page, and the thread title takes you to the first post. Todd, can you add back in something on the home or forum page that lists who is in chat at a given moment in time?

Apparently yes.

Edit is still there in your own posts to the left of "multiquote" but it doesn't have a button around it. It highlights when you mouse over it, but it is there. Also, this "saving post" thing used to happen to me in another format and I learned that as soon as you definitely hit "post" you can move away from the page and the post will happen even if it seems hung up. The same thing happened to me minutes ago and I just moved on or reloaded the page and all was well.

I guess you changed your "bold" comment while I was responding, but try to read posts before you friendly disagree with them. I said the song hurt my ears and then said it was shitty music when you made a stupid overstatement in response. I couldn't discern a difference between "dubstep" and any number of electronic/dance/garage sub-genres, and I don't have -- and certainly didn't state -- any opinions about "dubstep" as a whole.

I like the way that your posts are wysiwyg while preparing them, even with images inserted, bold or italics, font sizes, etc. No more need to preview stuff.

Nope. Just can't deal with shitty music. NP: Ivy -- Guestroom

Thank you for all the work Todd! The New Content options are great and the overall look is very sharp. Nice!

Alright Vinyl Ric!

Ooh, glad the TT is running well now Ric! Enjoy it. Also glad that you are not redundant Chris!

Here is the Marvel in action.

Try this with the Lillet even though Cocchi is better: Corpse Reviver (No. 2) 1/4 Wine Glass Lemon Juice (3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice) 1/4 Wine Glass Kina Lillet. (3/4 oz Cocchi Aperitivo Americano) 1/4 Wine Glass Cointreau. (3/4 oz Cointreau) 1/4 Wine Glass Dry Gin. (3/4 oz Bombay Gin) 1 Dash Absinthe. (Verte de Fougerolles) Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Awesome experiments in gin, Jim. Thank you for the info. So far tonight, I have enjoyed a Southern Tier Gemini thanks to a care package from JP! Thanks man!

Indeed!

Whisky and Jeff Beck are a natural combo!

Nice selection Shelly! Have fun.

Sunlight hurts his eyes but that song hurts my ears. Also, far too many Dr. Dre Beats in that video.
