Beer added by: hckyfn9999 on 05-10-2007

This beer is retired; no longer brewed.

Our English Style Export IPA features 100% English hops and a big malt backbone built upon pale and caramel malted barley. The hop varietals, Pilgrim and East Kent Goldings, lend a quality of lemon and spice, which play off of the fruity flavors contributed by the London ale yeast.

India Pale Ales (IPAs) were first brewed in England during the late 1700s for export overseas to British soldiers in India. To keep their beer from spoiling during the long voyage, English brewers fortified their traditional pale ale recipes with natural preservatives: more malted barley, for a higher alcohol content, and more hops. In recent decades, with growing appreciation for highly hopped beers, American craft brewers have revived the style, embraced it, and incorporated new hop varieties. Our Special Release IPAs further those traditions and showcase the distinctions of hops from different hemispheres.

Pours a light amber color with a decent slightly off-white head that sticks around. The nose is all about herbal hops and a sweet malt accent underneath. Smells of fresh, juicy hops. The palate is really quite nice - a fine balance between a solid malty backbone and alive with hop flavors. This is a well-crafted beer. Finishes quite lively and dry. Ample carbonation. Mouth feel is medium-light and comes across as light enough on the palate. A very nice beer - maltier than an American style IPA, yet not as malty as a typical English style. A very good, happy medium here. Schlafly's is one of my favorite craft brewers. Being the only one in my region of the country, I could be biased however. (699 characters)

I love the label on this one. Bottle pours a hazy, golden amber body with a two finger, offwhite hued head. Lavish lacing adorns the glass.

Aroma is floral and herbal hops. A hint of toffee lurks underneath.

Medium body and carbonation is accented by an earthy and leafy, dry hopped feel.

Taste has a dominant floral and grassy hop bitterness. Never would have thought this was 8% abv. Understated malt presence lends some caramel sweetness that is just enough for balance. Some herbal tea character midway through adds interest. Finishes dry and leafy, with a lasting bitterness.

Another excellent Schlafly ale. I'm really starting to trust these folks to turn out high quality potables. (692 characters)

12 ouncer, "Bottled with love on 05 06 2009" on the bottom of the front label. Pours darker amber, burnt orange, the head is light tan, frothy, leaves a thick collar, and ample sheeting down low and strands of stick. Mild hop nose, with some dough in the rear. Full bodied and coating on the tongue. Nice depth of flavors, plenty of sweet and then a soft yet quite drying finish. Full bodied and nicely flavorful. Almost tastes like an old ale or a lite Barley wine. Which I suppose is a compliment and means that this is a flavorful and moderatly complex Brit style ale. Well done, enjoyable night capper for me. (613 characters)

Schlafly Export IPA is a big beer. I didn't realize this beer was bottled on 3-24-10 when I bought it a couple weeks back, but this IPA has held up surprisingly well.

It pours an orange tinted gold that is just about the haziest beer I've ever poured. I don't think it's yeast, just precipitated proteins from the high alcohol and hopping. The aroma is like a very malt like a toasted cracker with floral and tropical fruit perfume that hit hard in the end. The beer is smoothly bitter with a lot of toasted malt flavor, yeasty fruitiness, and a honeyed sweetness. The mouthfeel is nice, but the alcohol presence makes does numb and dry the tongue a bit. (656 characters)

This is definitely not on the American-style IPA. It has a more timid and earthy hop profile and says "English Style: IPA right on the label.

12 oz bottle, bottled on 20 May 2013, served in a snifter.

This English-style IPA pours hazy, medium amber in color, with a head that dies down to a partial coat rather quickly but, nonetheless, leaves a good bit of sticky lacing. Particularly nice mouthfeel for style.

Aroma: reflects a mix of lemon, generic citrus, and spicy/earthy qualitites from the hops. Wet-bread aroma from the malts in the background.

Taste: The English hops dominate: they are spicy and bitter, with a touch of lemon. Mildly bitter and earthy aftertaste. (681 characters)

Pours a cloudy pale color with three fingers of head. Huge hop aroma that kinda knocks you on your ass. The taste doesn't stand up to the hop aroma. Very smooth and thick flavor. This beer hides it's alcohol extremely well, it doesn't taste nearly as alcoholic as it is.

The beer feels a little thick on the tongue. I've never had an IPA that had this little hop character. (375 characters)

Clean and light amber, with superb off-white head (2 fingers). Wonderful and intricate lace.

Nose is mild. I get pine hops and some spice.

Taste is thick and sticky on the palate, notably with the pine resiny hops character. Finishes with a malty sweet spiciness. Smooth and easy to drink, and a pleasing IPA! (311 characters)

Pours a light amber color. A bit clearer than I expected. The head is bright white and hugely thick. Major retention and that classic IPA look where it falls in on itself.

Good balance smell with enough malty notes to work in conjuction with the floral, slightly fruity, and earthy hops.

Clean, biscuity flavor. It's mostly a hop bomb so you get a hit of malt early on, then it's all hops.

The hoppy bitter is aggressive, but not offensive. It's there from beginning to end, but you can still feel your teeth after each sip. Medium to full bodied. As opposed to an American IPA, it's got an English IPA's wet finish. No resiny coating of the tongue.

I really prefer American IPA and don't care much for their English counterpart, but this was pretty appropriate for the style. Not sure what the IBU count was, but it's up there, though it's still very drinkable. (866 characters)

M Smooth with a really nice body

D: A pint at a time is plenty but a nice IPA (all be it an english IPA) (384 characters)

Poured from cask at J. Ryan's Firkenteenth event.

A - Beer looked GOOD. Dark opaque motor oil with a good amount of tan head and a little lacing.

S - Roated malt with a hint of something else...couldn't quite put my finger on it until the taste

T - OK...maybe I am one of the only ones that did not like this beer. I got a roasted coffee up front with a ton of sour flavor and some bitter coffee at the end. TOO much sour tasting for an american porter in my opinion.

M - Crisp smooth

O - It LOOKS good and feels good...just didn't taste good. If the sournees was smoother or blended well, this could be decent. But the usual chocolatey taste of some of my favorite porters got drowned out by the sourness. (712 characters)

Poured from a growler into a New Belgium globe

A: A finger and a half of khaki colored head. Sparsely spotted lace remains as you consume. I’m fairly color blind so I’ll take the others’ word that it’s somewhere between dark brown and black with reddish hues.

S: Grape bubble gum with some subtle hints of roasty malt. The roasted notes come to the forefront with some vigorous swirling and you start to get some chocolate in there.

T: Delicious bittersweet chocolate and coffee that fades to moderately biting tartness. I know the brett is present, but this doesn’t have any of the champagne quality that I associate with any of the other sour beers I’ve had. Much easier to drink than I anticipated although I’d probably like to re-visit that sentiment after two glasses.

M: Medium to heavy body. Quite acidic. Appropriately astringent. The carbonation's biggest contribution is to add a creamy characteristic like a stout. The very finish brings you close to the edge of being puckering but you’re never really worried that you’ll be carried over.

O: A fantastically interesting and well executed experiment from Ithaca and Iron Hill. While I truly enjoyed this, the biggest thing I got out of it was wondering what they used for the base beer before they infected it…because that alone could be a really great one. (1,343 characters)

Had a 10 oz. pour at Good Beer in the East Village. I like the balanced Brett character. I wouldn't have guessed the strength, but maybe the wild yeast has helped dry this one out a bit, the mild tang certainly seems to lift the body. Otherwise there's a wonderful, clear chocolate roast with a little bit of candy sweetness. The Brett pops in for a sharp, slightly acidic citrus note, but not much else. Heck of a beer. (420 characters)

Big thanks goes out to mikesgroove to sharing this one with me! Served from growler into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured a massively dark brown with a one finger khaki colored head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, tangerine, citrus, and citrus hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, citrus, citrus hop, floral, and tangerine. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The citrus on this one was really nice on both the flavor and aroma. Really well balanced and enjoyable. Definitely glad I got the chance to try this one and I suggest you do the same. (732 characters)

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Picked up a growler from Iron Hill Media (An aside: I wish Iron Hill weren't so touchy about filling my flip-top growlers, taking home theirs is always a race against the clock to finish a half gallon of beer before it goes flat, which takes place in about a day. Ugh.)

Anyway... the beer pours a lovely ruby-toned black, and smells like it tastes - like a particularly sour cherry dunked in dark chocolate. I really didn't expect Ithaca and Iron Hill to be able to pull off such a masterful use of brett, and was expecting something like an infected bottle of Abyss (especially when very fresh without as much of a chance to come together) but I was very impressed with what we've got here. And I'm surprised that Russian River didn't jump all over the idea of an all-brett porter first, it's really quite novel. This is right up there with Bell's Cherry Stout as one of my favorite sour/chocolate combination beers, and I'll definitely be picking up another growler soon if it hangs around. I'm very lucky to live close to one of the sources of this stunner of a beer. (1,116 characters)

At the brewery.

A: The porter is dark, a forboding stout that envelops all colors of the spectrum. The darkness is punctuated by a dark, tan colored head that stands in sharp contrast. Lacing follows as the head recedes.

S: The strong bite of the porter is a cunning mix of sourness and hoppiness, possibly the oddest porter I've ever come across. Sweet cherry aromas mix with the dark, overly roasted porter notes and side of hops. The funky brett is a bold aroma against the dark roasted malts. Plenty of cherry coming out of the brett.

T: More roasted flavors, strong and dominant. The chocolate, coffee and burnt toast straddles the line with the brett. The dark roasts running into an immediate wall of funk. The transition is awkward at times. The sweet fruity dirtiness of the brett struggles against the dark porter flavors. Interesting.

M: Clean mouthfeel although the intense cherry brett flavors can easily be mistaken for the bite of citrus hops. (966 characters)

Draft pour served in a pint glass for $7.00.

A: A frothy, medium brown head of 1 finger goes quickly. The body is completely black and nothing can be seen through the other side of the glass. As the drinking continues, half sheets of lace are stuck behind. Not bad, but a very standard appearance.

S & T: Dark malts, heavy roast and chocolate - all backed by a strong brett component (100% brett fermentation), plus some rich soil and a little wood. Cherry and other dark berry fruits are modest but noticeable. Dark earth and leather work their way in on both the upper and lower palate, and the fruitiness much more noticeable on the lower.

M: Medium body with a semi thick texture. A predictably dry finish and above average effervescence wipes the tongue clean.

O: Dark Humor is a very well executed all-brett porter. If you like brett dominated beers, you will definitely appreciate this one. (901 characters)

On-tap at the Churchkey in D.C.

Pours a dark brown with a soapy ivory head. Lots of earthy Brett aromas (I can't help but smell peanut) with a good amount of chocolate and a bit of banana. Taste is predominately bitter chocolate and earthy Brett, luckily not getting that peanut sensation here. Smooth and creamy, with a medium-full body and fairly low carbonation. Overall a very interesting beer, love seeing different takes on what Brett can do! (449 characters)

Half-growler from Westmere Beverage in Guilderland, NY.

Pour is black, with a decent head that dissipates quick but leaves good lacing.

Smells like roasty chocolate malts and a lactic sour character.

Taste is like a light porter, with a green apple musty/funk on top of it all. The brett is neither sour nor very funky, but it's noticeable for sure. It keeps the dark malts from dominating, but doesn't smack you with barnyard.

Mouthfeel is light for a porter but a bit robust for a brett beer, if that makes sense.

I wasn't sure what to expect. While I think the flavors work fine together, this won't automatically please fans of either porters or sour beers, both of which I love. It's a unique animal. Like someone who reviewed this earlier said, the brett adds a new dimension to a porter that lots of hops would, but it's a different flavor. (854 characters)

huge thanks to my man up north for this growler, i was thrilled to death to be able to try this one! Gotta love two new ithaca growlers!

pour was jet black with a small tan head that kept a ring around the entire glass leaving a good bit of lacing up and down the sides of the glass that really looked to be quite nice to me. aroma is deep peat and smoke, much more then i really thought it would be, nicely done. warming brings up lots of oak and touches of vanilla in the flavor. the grape and slightly sour character from the barrels is not very noticeable until it really warms and by that time it is still quite light but near perfectly placed. rich and smooth, with a deep smoke flavor that leaves a long lasting oak note on the palate an a light, but enjoyable finish that really gives a nice rounded profile. (817 characters)

Appearance is dark/brown black typical of porters. smell is of roasted malts mostly, chocolate, with only a hint of brett. The taste is all porter, and a fantastic one at that. the roastiness from the malt comes off smooth rather than bitter. The brett is more of a background flavor that only starts to come through as the beer warms more and you get toward the end of the glass. Medium bodied. Overall, I'm impressed with the beer, but more with the porter components. I can't help but wonder what it would taste like to try the base beer without the brett because it would probably be fantastic. (598 characters)

Had on top at IBC for their release of the beer

A-Deep black, some tan head. Not much lacing left.

S-Roasted Malt is the only thing I got.

T-The roasted malt is present. And then something that I can't put my finger in. It must be from the Brett. An interest flavor none the less.

M-Medium bodied, not much carbonation

O-A very interesting beer, glad I had the chance to try it. I can't wait to try more beers with brett. (427 characters)

Served on-tap at Capone's in a 13 oz snifter glass.

A: Dark black body with a small slightly off-white head. Thick, patchy sticky lacing covers the glass walls and keeps a moderate retention ring around the edges. A really nice looking beer that seems to combine both porter qualities with the effervescence of a wild ale.

S: Roasted malts are up-front initially followed by a raspberry sweetness. Almonds, faintly bitter coffee beans, a funky tartness and chocolate covered cherries in the back end. Rich, robust and yet fruity and tart.

T: Sweet dark fruits (plum, black cherry), chocolate and roasted coffee beans are first. Tart red fruits like raspberry and cherry are mid-palate giving a nice transition from the roasted malty front of the beer. A few residual coffee notes are in the linger after the funk leaves the mouth.

M: Creamy, medium-bodied but still bubbly and active. It is somewhat dry on the palate in the finish, perhaps a combination of the tartness and bitter roasted flavors.

I'm noticing a trend growing here, combining the darker roasted malts, akin to a Porter or Stout and then throwing in some souring bacteria. It's new, it's different and generally it seems to be working. Tart of Darkness, Zwet.be and now Dark Humor are all beers I actually did enjoy that exhibit this new flavor profile. Keep them coming. (1,343 characters)

I had this on-tap at Capone's. Poured into a goblet.

Appearance: Pours black with a layer of tan head that goes away completely.

Smell: Quite sweet, ripe dark fruit and some molasses. Not very sour.

Taste: Here, there is some sourness. Mild roast, but nothing in the tastes pops out and gets your attention. A bit wine like.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with almost no carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: I wasn't super impressed with this beer. A bit muddled and confusing. I may not get the sour porter style, who knows? (524 characters)

Draft at Iron Hill - Media into a tulip.

A Pours a pitch black, different from the porter from which it was spawned, tan 1.5 finger head that shrinks to about half a finger without drinking, once a sip is taken is leaves a foamy layer on top with thick bubbbly lacing.

S Roasty and tart, cocoa, slight cola scent, earthy, thyme.

T Sweet and roasty, carmelly, earthy, very strong tart and bitter, but its quite smooth as long as it doesnt sit too long in your mouth thats when it realy kicks in, raspberries and tart cherries with slight sour strawberry, thyme (esp in the belches), hidden hints of citrus like lime.

M Biting sourness on the front and sides with strong burnt-like bitterness in the back, smooth still and abundantly carbonated.

O Immensely complex, like a huge party and everyones dancing and swirling and having a great time with sourness and roastiness being the long lingerers at the end of the party.

This was a great collab between Iron Hill and Ithaca. I love what the guys at Iron Hill - Media have been doing. (1,039 characters)

It seems like a lot of people think they are drinking something other than a Kolsch style beer or they just plain don't know anything about the style. A beer that Won a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships should be ranked a lot higher. Goes to show you can't trust the People rating on this site or any site. Your better off forming your own opinion. My opinion: This is a great Kolsch Style Beer! If you like the style you will like this beer. Perfect for summer! (578 characters)

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance: Yellow with a thin white head. Mild lacing on the glass and a lot of carbonation.

Smell: Hops, Rye, some wheat and malt as well. Bit of a skunked smell for a "fresh" beer.

Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth light bodied. Taste of bitter hops and rye. Mild wheat.

Overall: Ok brew. Not my first choice. (346 characters)

Clear yellow colored beer with a small white colored head.

Smells mildly of noble hops and not much else. Slightly sweet smelling.

Starts out mildly sweet with a little scorched sugar taste. Stays sweet with no real bitterness. And that's it.

Mouthfeel is OK.

Overall, not a great beer but it is drinkable. (315 characters)

Always wanted to try this beer since it came out. Never had a Leinie's that I didn't like, with the exception of BerryWeiss

A: Pours a pale yellow color, decent retention with a nice head. Color reminds me of a light beer.

S: Smells like a light beer, can make a case for a bit of citrus fruit as well

T: Can definitely get a bit of hops, and some lemon. It has a certain sweetness to it. Aftertaste strangely reminds me of a white wine

M: Very light and refreshing. Can definitely pound these.

O: A nice lighter option from Leinie's. I like it. This would be a good beer for a hot day after cutting grass, especially if fruitier beers aren't for you. Like I said before, this beer can easily be pounded. (709 characters)

Lawnmower beer status, light pale golden bright egg shell white head forms fine speckled lacing between sips. Fizzy flowing carbonation streams of bubbles from the bottom of my glass. Aroma has a biscuit malt sweetness, lemon tartness, and light grassy hop character going on. Not detecting rye yet let's see if it shows up in the flavor at all, crisp smooth biscuit malts with some bread dough yeast characteristics, a light lemony grassy finish pretty nice mix of flavors even if it's done in a session beer from Leinenkugel's. Some might say it's too watery or lacks the depth of some if it's German Kolsch style ales, but for me it's working just right not bad at all. Mouthfeel is crisp refreshing light bodied base beer clean finish all day, if working in the yard just keep these coming. (794 characters)

Poured from a 12oz bottle, dated 3 June 2013, into a Belgian snifter.

A: The beer is yellow-gold color in color with excellent clarity, topped by a thin white head most of which fades quickly. Some lacing gets left on the glass.

This is a lightly flavored and delicate style of beer, so the addition of rye could easily change the character. And so it does, I think. The aroma is spicy for style. seemingly due to both hops and the rye. The flavor too is spicy for style, but not so much as to completely transform the kolsch or overpower the malts. Has a clear hint of lemon. Slightly sweet.

M: Crisp; light body; near medium carbonation.

O: A relatively spicy version of the style, yet without being more flavorful than average. (734 characters)

look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

A-Pours pitch black with a small to medium coffee crema colored head that has excellent retention and lacing.
S-The aroma is very pungent with the first pour (which is impressive) with bold notes of super sweet chewy caramel up front, along with milk chocolate and roasty dark malts and some toffee in the back and light roasted fresh coffee, very mocha specialty coffee notes, but very sweet in the nose for sure.
T-The flavor is also very pungent up front with simi-sweet chocolate (because of the pleasant bitterness from the hops) and the caramel is in the back here along with some interesting butterscotch flavors. The roastiness is up front as well, but it's well balanced and so complex, very enjoyable indeed. The coffee notes stay in the nose, not in the flavor at all.
M-The mouthfeel is huge and cream with a lively carbonation which is nice for a change, (most beers this big are lightly carbonated, but this one has a little more) it also has a nice and balanced finish.
O-Overall I had a great experience with this beer. I got this one for a birthday gift and am very glad. A great Imperial Stout indeed! (1,123 characters)

I have really liked the Moylan's brews I have had and this is near the top of my list for them.Poured a jet black with a creamy-like one finger mocha colored head that never leaves,intense roast and dark fruit in the nose,slight burnt notes come through as well.Flavors are highly roasted and earthy, dark fruit and molasses come through in the finish as well as alcohol sweetness,the big dry earthiness wins out though.Complex in its sweetish to dry flavors,a top notch Impy stout here. (487 characters)

Appearance  This was solid black with a modest head, warning of the impending altitude of ABV.

Smell  The roasted malts jumped out of the glass, giving way to big chocolate and fine South American coffee.

Taste  This is a strong Imperial Stout, full of fine chocolate and huge roasted malt flavors. The raw sugars brought up the rear.

Mouthfeel  This was close to full in the body and had a very playful mouthfeel.

Drinkability  This was a complicated but fine malty Imperial Stout. (504 characters)

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Tasted with zoso1967 on 2/16/11.

Ryan pours pretty dark brown, bordering on black. The head is a buoyant one and a half fingers, even though the bottle was split two ways. This head is a dark khaki color with large bubbles contained within. The lacing is very sticky on my snifter and full of curvy arches and dots.

The smell is very caramelly and chocolaty... much like a Rollo candy. A little roastiness is apparent in the bouquet, especially when I agitate the beer. I get just a small amount of coffee and a pretty decent amount of sherry in my olfactory. Overall, the smell is pretty sweet for an Imperial Stout.

The taste is pretty sweet and a little fruity, but in a good way. The caramel-chocolate vibe carries over from the smell and combines with a dark fruit taste at the outset of the sip. Starting at the swallow, the roast and coffee characteristics jump on my tongue and lend a nice dry, bittersweet flavor to the aftertaste.

This is a medium-bodied mouthfeel for the style, perhaps even a little on the light side. It is very smooth on my taste buds, though, with a roasty and drying finish.

R.S. is quite tasty and very drinkable for the style. It is smooth, sweet, roasty, and consistent. It is not as complex and multi-layered as other Imperial Stouts that I have had, but it is enjoyable and kind on my palate. (1,338 characters)

A_Dark brown with dark red edges. Thick mocha brown head. Nice lacing.

S_Roasted malt, dark fruits,alcohol.

T_Sour and chocolate upfront. Weird but works for me. Dark fruits and bitter/boozy taste follows up. Finishes dry.

M_Not as thick as you would expect from an impy stout but still full bodied.

D_Probably wouldnt want a whole night of this but overall a nice,strange brew.

Unlike any impy stout I,ve ever tried. That said . . . I like it. Reading over the reviews it seems like love or hate. Might be a risk but I would recommend giving it a try. (557 characters)

Bottle purchased about two years ago

A - Pours black with one finger of brown head. Head has pretty good retention and leaves some spotty lacing.

S - Lots of chocolate and roasted malt in the aroma, with a bit of char. Smell has a bit of sweet chocolate and mostly bittersweet chocolate.

T - The taste is a pretty big letdown after the aroma. Huge amount of char and some sourness, though it doesn't taste like infection sourness. Some dark fruits, milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate, but covered up by the intense char and sour character. Ashy finish.

M - Even on a warm summer night, this seemed quite thin. Dry, bitter, ashy feel.

O - Started strong enough, but the taste was pretty unpleasant and the mouthfeel quite disappointing. Won't be having this again. (775 characters)

Ill be blunt; this beer did nothing for me. Ive had other Imperial Stouts and this one did not meet what I expected it to be. The head retention was decent at best; the aroma was a bit acrid with soured roasted grain. It had a good sweetness but it was lost in a downward spiral of estery alcohol and acidic roasted grain. No balance and even the dark fruitiness got lost in the mix.

Dont get me wrong I love Imperial Stouts but this one just did not make the cut. (473 characters)

Thanks to Barzigkin for sharing this bottle.

Pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The aroma is coffee with roasted malt. The flavor is raisins, roasted malt, coffee and some bitterness from either the hops or coffee. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation. A solid imperial stout. (285 characters)

Excellent. Black pour with a dense tan head. Coffee, cocoa, and thick roasted malts just pound you in the face. Velvety smooth mouthfeel and taste. The coffee, chocolate, and cherries are prevalent throughout the taste, but not to the extent that it drowns out the subtle currants and alcohol. Let this one warm a little before drinking it, its well worth it. (359 characters)

A: Dark as midnite with no head(of course). Nice lace down the 10oz wine glass.

S: Chocolate, Liquorace, and wood with strong roasted malts coming through on the tail-end.

T: WOW!!! Casking steps this beer up a bunch of notches. It is so mellow, and all the booze is even better hidden.

M: Subdued. Not as thick/sticky as the non-cask. Some hot alcohol lingers as I exhale.

D: I perfer the non-cask, but this is a great change. The wood mellows out this monster well! (471 characters)

Ryan Sullivan's Imperial Stout opens with a thick whiff of malts, which bring a tantalizing blend of dark and light aromas. Included in these are chocolate malts, heavy cream, coffee, light tobacco, caramel, and a touch of Grape Nuts cereal-like lighter grains. Brown sugar, toffee and vanilla linger around the edges, joined by a smidgen of old port and cognac. Hops add just a touch of citrus backing, bringing subtle hints of bitterness to counter the sugars. The overall effect is beautifully balanced and nuanced, hampered only by the aromas' slightly weakened state: the volume knob seems to have only been set at eight instead of ten.

On the tongue, the beer opens dark and rich, with an immediate shot of brown sugar, fig juice, vanilla, and chocolate malt. These are quickly joined by caramels and toffee, then heavier layers of ash and tobacco, with hints of black malt, providing a layering effect. The darker flavors come to dominate the flavor profile as the beer sits on the tongue, set off by a perfect balance of citrusy hops, which provide subtle pine resin and grapefruit rind bitterness. The aftertaste is more of the darker flavors, as well as a lingering hop bitterness and touches of ash, and lasts for a long time. Mouthfeel is an odd-feeling medium, given the flavors, and carbonation is medium-low.

Overall, this is excellent Imperial Stout, and it says much of the flavors that the 10% ABV is completely hidden beneath them. The mouthfeel is surprisingly watery for these flavors and for this style, which does offset some of the beer's better qualities, but even this does not fully detract from the excellent flavor profile. I do wish that the flavors were slightly stronger--again, the volume knob seemingly set at eight instead of ten--but the beer is still delicious, and worth trying. (1,818 characters)

22 oz bottle, aged for about 1 year, served in a Belgian snifter.

Pours basically black in the glass, covered by a dark tan head that has decent retention. very good lacing.

Aroma: inviting if a bit tame
Flavor: rich and complex, with a very solid base of dark roasted grains. Hints of black coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and dark fruits. Lasting and pleasant aftertaste. Mildly bitter.

Feel: the full body is exceptionaly smooth, with perfect, soft carbonation.

O: has all the traits of a fine RIS without any detectable flaws. Well done. (548 characters)

This beer pours a dark mohagany. The head is dark tan. It is thick and creamy. It fades somewhat slowly leaving thick laces. It smells quite malty. Also, it smells of roasted malts and coffee. It tastes very malts and chocolate like. There is a strong coffee flavor as well. It also has a slight molasses taste to it. The alcohol is apparent in the flavor. It is a very creamy and smooth beer. It is carbonated just right. It sits well on the palate. This beer is not a good session beer due to the high alcohol content. It is a very good beer, and definately worth a try, but not all night long. For the record, the laces are still sticking strong on the glass. (662 characters)

Snagged this at Binny's on Grand in Chicago.
Pours a motor oil black, not inky. A small head the color of cocoa powder hangs around for a bit.
Aromas of chocolate, a whiff of burnt malt and char, some dried fruit notes are buried in the nose as well.
Mouthfeel-Bold flavors of dark roasted malt, I taste licorice too. Bitter coffee flavors are present along with that charred flavor. This is only the second Imp Stout I have tasted with that char flavor, the other is Ten-Fidy, but I like it, very bold portion of the flavor profile.
The label speaks of this being the Cigar Stout and it would pair nicely with a robust smoke.
Not too sweet or boozy. A froth on the palate sweetens it just a touch and some alcohol warmth comes through. Finishes bitter with some tannin flavors. Moylan's has found its way to my cellar recently and I am pleased. (845 characters)

Bottle picked up from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.

Pours black with a cascading two-finger dark brown head. The head recedes into a thin pancake on top leaving solid lacing.

Smells of sweet roasted malts with hints of molasses and dark chocolate.

Tastes similar to how it smells. Sweet roasted malt flavors up front are joined by dark chocolate flavors midway through the sip. Dark fruit flavors come out as the beer warms but they take a backseat to roasted malts and chocolate. The ending is mildly bitter.

Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with solid carbonation.

Drinkability is very good. I drank this beer entirely too fast and could have another bomber or two.

Overall this is a very good RIS that has a great price. Definitely worth a shot. (765 characters)

mouthfeel is nice and oily, big, very good!

Thanks to PackForever(I think this was from him) for this great extra.

22oz. brown bomber poured into a tulip. No dating.

A: Pours a good black, nearly pitch. A good head forms dark khaki with nice staying power. Good lacing.

S: Deep roasted, almost burnt malts. Some bitter coffee. I've had the bottle for a little bit and the hop presence is still pretty potent. Alcohol pushed through.

T/M: Hops are still strong. Good bitterness with some overpowered citrus. More of the deeply roasted/burnt malts, a bit sweet yet really dry. A strong char taste comes through at the end, just before the very dry and bitter finish. Maybe too dry. Body is full and carbonation is kickin', as is the alcohol.

D: This is definitely a big stout and actually feels like more than 10%. (773 characters)

There is an english form Euiala. I do not know the meaning per se but, it has to do with ungulation - a sort of yodeling. You might hear middle easterners use that "la-la-la-la..." sound. It is meant to mimic the sound of the words Praise God or Hallelujah and a sound a horn or caller shouts announcing some set time or victory or encouragement.

My Facebook Profile Has Been Hacked

Apparently somewhere in the last half hour or so, someone hacked my Facebook account and posted that I swallowed a bottle of pills. It’s not true. I am fine. It’s a little disconcerting to know that someone has access to my account! Anyway, I’m trying to figure out what to do about my facebook account, but in the meanwhile, know that I am perfectly A-OK!

According to facebook:

  • If you believe that your account has been hacked, make sure that the email associated with your account is secure.
  • If you’re having trouble logging in with your normal email and password, try resetting your password using the link on the login page. An email will be sent to you with steps for completing the process.
  • If the email on your account has been changed, or if you are unable to access your profile, please send us information about the account so we can look into it further and hopefully restore access. Please submit your report here.

They also offer the following tool to help you diagnose and resolve your problem.

    I had my fb account was taken over to harrass me. They slowly did it. I begin having problems with my fb. The home wall stalling for long periods of time. My block removed button taken away. contact. Where I couldn’t remove friends I suspect. The help button disabled. I assumed it was fb technical problem and ignored it, and it got worst. ?Friends comments appearing and disappearing. Chat box with 0 friends. friends not being able to send post. Everything was slowly disable. CHANGE PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY EMAIL ALSO!! MY PASSWORD WAS CHANGED THIS MORINING AT 8AM. I DIDN’T WAKE TILL 9:30

    Some fucker hacked my facebook account last week and I managed to find out it was some scum from America.

    Apparently there are lots of ways to hack someones facebook. I thought i’ld do a bit of research to hopefully protect my account.

    The biggest and best way is to hide your e-mail, and hide the ability for the scum to search your name, also avoid weird links via fb message

    New Software
    There is many hacking softwares out there that works by simply by typing your fb e-mail address, this software can generate your password in a matter of secs/mins.

    Not only is this for facebook, but for hotmail and twitter too.

  3. It’s ridiculous the mean things that people will do. I’m headed right over to change my password. Thanks Lynnae :)

  4. cwaltz:

    This is one of the reasons I completely decided against opening a facebook or twitter account. It means giving people who might not have the best intents access to personal information and an opportunity to identity steal. As promising as a whopper or a pint of starbucks ice cream is it isn’t nearly as promising as avoiding the drama.

    I’m sorry that this happened to you and hope that everything settles down for you.

  5. Robert Johnson:

    Facebook apps can be a real problem. As I result, I never install FB apps because it can lead to huge problems. A friend of mine who is the President of Bethany University had a rogue FB app send out links to pornographic sites from his FB account.

    Also, make sure you are protected against viruses, spyware, malware and keystroke loggers. I recommend Norton Internet Security 2009 version, as that updates itself automatically every few minutes and use less memory and resources than previous versions. If you are infected, there are other tools I would recommend to remove the junk.

    Finally, I would consider changing browsers from Internet Explorer to Firefox if you haven’t already done so. I recently made the switch and have found Firefox to be a more secure browser. Also, I love the functionality that can be added to Firefox via add-ons.

    Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions. I would be happy to help you!

  6. Dave:

    News came out today or yesterday that Facebook has disabled several apps that were phishing. The link can be found here:

    Also, Facebook and Twitter have been caught in a cyberwar between some people who have been hacking in to get at each other. Other peoples’ accounts have suffered.

  7. That’s crazy. Glad you got it fixed and I’m glad it wasn’t true!

  8. Lynnae:

    Ah, the reminder question. That’s a good idea. I changed my email passwords already.

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the craigslist scammers that contacted me earlier today.

  9. Lynnae:

    Thanks, all. I’m back in, and I’ve changed the password, though I’ll probably change it again.

    The only time I access facebook is from my own computer, so I’m not sure how they got in. Unfortunately this is a scam that seems to be going around right now. So make sure your passwords are secure, everyone. Or your relaxing evening could turn into mad facebook posts and phone calls to the police!

    But I’m glad I have friends who care.

  10. Kayla:

    It’s possible you just left it running somewhere at a public place. Anyways, to be safe, if the “crook” left anything identifiable such as a URL, report it to Facebook, otherwise the simple “Change your password” should work in this situation.

  11. Also be sure to change passwords on your associated email account, as well as the password reminder question if there is one.

    Sorry that happened!

  12. I would change the password, and then, once you know that person is out, change it again :)

The Deacon's Bench

“The way it goes in America”

As we get ready to celebrate another 4th of July, another Independence Day, Peggy Noonan has offered us a reminder of what it means to be an American, and it involves a story about Brooklyn and a priest:

I was at a wake for an old family friend named Anthony Coppola, a retired security guard who’d been my uncle Johnny’s best friend from childhood. All the old neighborhood people were there from Clinton Avenue and from other streets in Brooklyn, and Anthony’s sisters Tessie and Angie and Gloria invited a priest in to say some prayers. About a hundred of us sat in chairs in a little side chapel in the funeral home.

The priest, a jolly young man with a full face and thick black hair, said he was new in the parish, from South America. He made a humorous, offhand reference to the fact that he was talking to longtime Americans who’d been here for ages. This made the friends and family of Anthony Coppola look at each other and smile. We were Italian, Irish, everything else. Our parents had been the first Americans born here, or our grandparents had. We had all grown up with two things, a burly conviction that we were American and an inner knowledge that we were also something else. I think we experienced this as a plus, a double gift, though I don’t remember anyone saying that. When Anthony’s mother or her friend, my grandmother, talked about Italy or Ireland, they called it “the old country.” Which suggested there was a new one, and that we were new in it.

But this young priest, this new immigrant, he looked at us and thought we were from the Mayflower. As far as he was concerned–as far as he could tell–we were old Yankee stock. We were the establishment. As the pitcher in “Bang the Drum Slowly” says, “This handed me a laugh.”

This is the way it goes in America. You start as the Outsider and wind up the Insider, or at least being viewed as such by the newest Outsiders. We are a nation of still-startling social fluidity. Anyone can become “American,” but they have to want to first.

I suspect a lot of us — more and more of us, in fact — know priests like that. Priests who came from somewhere else to live the faith here, and are now mastering the intricacies of the mass and the sacraments in a new and alien language, but in a place that has always been glittering with promise: America. Bless them.

And yes: God bless America.

The same goes for the Church, Greg. My involvement in RCIA has shown me how people from all walks of life show up at our doors because we have something they seek. It isn’t that we have it all and wherever they were had nothing. No, far from it. They bring the best of their faith tradition and incorporate it into ours. Sounds kind of familiar…What is particularly interesting is their apprehension when they start attending mass. They all feel like outsiders – afraid they will do something wrong, that they will stick out like a sore thumb. Quite often, however, the person next to them, the one they are afraid will ‘find them out’ was just received into the Church three or four years ago! Of course, that is only true if they are sitting in the front few pews. We all know the back is reserved for the ‘Cradle Catholics’!In my experience, most people are not ‘convinced’ to join the Catholic Church because of our doctrine. They are called to join because of some intangible sense of welcome. Time and time again, I hear them say they feel ‘home’. Of course, that will only be true if the assembly of the faithful live up to their obligation to make present the Mystical Body of Christ!

Beloit College Benefactor Nick Karris Passes Away

December 4, 2012 at 1:23 pm

Nick Karris

Nick Karris ‘58, the man after whom Beloit College’s intramural field and the newly renovated Strong Stadium Track & Field are named, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this past Saturday, December 1.

Karris and his wife Mary Ann were generous supports of Beloit College, always enthusiastically aiming their generosity at the students and their experiences.  Their aim, as President Scott Bierman noted in a letter to the campus community, “was to give students the tools needed to prepare for the challenges ahead, or the surfaces and spaces upon which they could test that preparation.”

The Karris’ were on hand as often as possible to cheer on that preparation and testing and to applaud students as they engaged in the life of the mind and body.  Because of that presence, many across campus got to know them in recent years as they regularly made the drive from Chicago to attend a practice or contest at Strong Stadium.

The Karris Intramural Field has been around for some time.  Karris Track & Field at Strong Stadium was completed a little over a year ago and hosted the first home Track & Field meet in 15 years last Spring.  Karris was present for that inaugural meet and he and his wife were present at the Homecoming Football Game on September 29 at Strong Stadium.

Bemidji State men's basketball: Wayne State steals win from Beavers with OT buzzer beater
Bemidji Minnesota P.O. Box 455 56619

The Bemidji State men's basketball season came to a close Saturday night at BSU Gymnasium in heartbreaking fashion.

Wayne State's Jonathon Thomas hit a 3-pointer to force overtime and Marcus Messersmith drained a 3-point prayer as time expired in overtime to give the Wildcats the 88-87 victory in the final game of the regular season for both teams.

Saturday's loss for the Beavers came on the heels of a 126-124 four overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth on Wednesday night at BSU Gymnasium.

Bemidiji State played in four overtime games this season and finished with a 2-2 record.

It was also the fourth time this season Bemidji State has lost on a buzzer-beater or final possession of the game.

The Beavers concluded the season 8-19 overall and 6-14 in the NSIC, improving on last year's total of six overall wins and three conference wins.

WSC finished 11-16 overall (7-13 NSIC).

Bemidji State had solid performances from Brady Fairbanks and Seth Haake on Saturday night.

Fairbanks scored 16 points in the first half and went on to finish with a game-high 28 points.

Haake finished with 24 points.

Leading Wayne State was Thomas with 21 points.

Bemidji State led 36-32 at halftime.

Jake Lindstrom missed a 3-point attempt as time expired in regulation, a shot that would have given BSU the win.

Bryce Tesdahl's layup with eight seconds left in overtime gave BSU the brief 87-85 lead.

Tragedy brings back memories of Sandy Hook

Tragedy brings back memories of Sandy Hook
Bemidji Minnesota P.O. Box 455 56619

By Molly Miron, Special to the Pioneer

In the spring of 1957 when I was 10 years old, I moved with my family from Bridgeport, Conn., to an old farmhouse on the outskirts of Newtown. My father worked at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, Conn., and my mother held down the society department desk at the Bridgeport Post newspaper.

They wanted to buy a home, and commuting an hour or so to their jobs seemed OK to them. After a couple of years, they had the wherewithal to purchase a newly built ranch house in Sandy Hook, Conn.

My sister and I rode the school bus to the Mary Elizabeth Hawley Elementary School in downtown Newtown. At the time, the school served grades kindergarten-seven. I started there toward the end of the fifth grade, moved over to the high school in eighth grade and graduated in 1964. Ms. Hawley was a wealthy benefactress who left money to build the school, as well as the Cyrenius H. Booth Library and possibly the town hall.

When we lived in Newtown, it was an upscale suburb of Bridgeport and Danbury. As I recall, the population during my childhood and teen years there was about the same as it is now, 25,000 or so. The town was founded in 1705 and uses the rooster weathervane on the top of the Congregational Church as its logo. Sandy Hook was officially part of Newtown, as were other enclaves such as Dodgingtown and Hawleyville. But Sandy Hook was kind of a poor relative.

At the time, the Sandy Hook shopping center was about one block long and featured a bakery, pharmacy, five-and-dime and a couple of other retail outlets. Factories dating from the days of water power situated along the Pootatuck River made fabric fire hose and molded plastic items.

In more than 40 years since I left, I had not spent one thought of my years in Newtown until Friday’s school shooting. The Sandy Hook Elementary School had not been built when I lived there, but I know the exact location near the fire house.

Since Friday, I have been walking the streets of Newtown in my mind and even in my dreams. The shootings also flashed my mind back to the horror at Red Lake High School on March 21, 2005. I still see the misery and loss on people’s faces.

I learned about the Red Lake tragedy shortly after Jeff Weise ran amok and finally killed himself. I was on the phone at the Pioneer that afternoon when the receptionist came to my cubicle and put a note in front of my face: “Shooting at Red Lake High School.” She said what sounded like a teenaged boy crying had called. I dialed the superintendent’s office and counted seven rings. No answer. The same for the Red Lake Law Enforcement Center. No response meant something very bad, I knew.

I put on my coat, picked up a camera and told Publisher Dennis Doeden what I suspected and where I was going. As I drove north on State Highway 89, I pulled over for numerous ambulances traveling south, lights flashing. I arrived at the high school and walked in the normal entrance.

A Red Lake Police officer saw me and shouted for me to get out, that the scene had not been cleared. I obeyed immediately.

Something like the aftermath of the Red Lake school murders is now unfolding in my former home town. Vigils, rallies, flowers and teddy bear memorials, prayer meetings, wakes, funerals – all testimonies to a community’s efforts to cope with the unthinkable. Nearly eight years have passed and the Red Lakers who were wounded but survived and those who witnessed the killings are now adult men and women. But they will always carry the pain of the day instant death stalked them.

I expect the residents of Newtown will suffer the same effects for generations to come.

Three Interceptions Doom Cincinnati Bengals in 31-24 Loss

November 20th, 2011 at 4:49 PM
By Chuck Chapman

The Cincinnati Bengals showed their youth in Baltimore, falling behind 31-14 after three turnovers. They then showed a maturity beyond their years by coming back and having a chance to tie the game before ultimately falling 31-24 to the Baltimore Ravens.

Through three quarters, it appeared Andy Dalton had finally met his match. He and his teammates got off the mat however to provide a thrilling finish and nearly pulled one out on the road.

Baltimore won the opening toss and deferred, putting Andy Dalton and the Bengals offense on the field first. A false start got the Bengals behind the chains and Cincinnati couldn't catch up as they went three and out on their first possession. The Ravens had a third and short after two Ray Rice runs, but Joe Flacco and Rice couldn't hook up on first down forcing a Baltimore punt as well.

Andy Dalton and Jerome Simpson got the Bengals offense going on the next drive when they hooked up for a 47 yard completion off of play action. Dalton then found Andrew Hawkins who made a nice catch on a third down slant taking the ball to the Ravens 17. A pass interference penalty then took the ball down to the seven where Cedric Benson took it in to give the Bengals the early lead 7-0. Similar to their early score in Seattle, this score silenced a boisterous M&T Bank Stadium crowd.

The Ravens offense was unable to get anything going to excite the crowd, punting after a single first down. The Bengals had to punt back after a single first down on their next drive. Andy Dalton showed maturity for his age, not throwing on third down while being heavily rushed. That enabled a Kevin Huber punt to take a big Bengal bounce and trap LaDarius Webb inside his own 10 yard line.

After a quarter of play, the Bengals led 7-0, having dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage early on. Both Andre Caldwell and Jerome Simpson had made big catches and the defense was clearly starting to affect Joe Flacco who appeared skittish in the pocket.

Cincinnati had an opportunity to throw a knockout punch, but Andy Dalton missed a wide open Andre Caldwell on a play action pass and Kevin Huber shanked a 15 yard punt allowing the Ravens to set up near midfield. Joe Flacco found TE Ed Dickson on third down and the Ravens had their first deep penetration into Bengals territory. Flacco then rolled right off a play fake and found a crossing Anquan Boldin wide open over the middle for a 35 yard score that tied the game.

After a three and out from Cincinnati, a rejuvenated Flacco hit Torrey Smith on two pass plays, the second of which traveled 49 yards and took the ball down to the six yard line when Smith outran Nate Clements. Ray Rice was stopped short of the goal line on second down, but Rice got in easily on the next play giving the Ravens a 14-7 lead.

The Ravens held the Bengals in check for their next two drives and looked to be going in for another score before the half when Torrey Smith's hair cost them a possible score. Smith had caught a slant from Flacco and had only Adam Jones to beat, but Jones reached out and got a good grasp of Jones dreadlocks flowing out of the back of his helmet, dragging him down at the Bengals 40. On the ensuing play, Flacco threw an interception to Nate Clements. The Bengals drove into Baltimore territory, but Andy Dalton was intercepted by Ed Reed in the end zone.

After a strong start, the Bengals limped into the locker room down seven. Andy Dalton completed 10 of 22 passes for 111 yards and a pick in the first half. Neither team ran the ball effectively, the Bengals with 36 yards on the ground and the Ravens with 16. The Ravens got two big passing plays that resulted in scores, however, which gave them the halftime advantage.

Baltimore struck with the big play on their opening drive of the second half. Cincinnati was unable to get a stop on a third and long and then Ray Rice broke free for 59 yards down to the Bengals 7 yard line. The Bengals' defense held there, however, and forced a 22 yard Billy Cundiff field goal.

That defensive stop shifted some momentum. On the Bengals next drive, Andy Dalton made a great individual play, avoiding the Raven's rush and keeping the play alive to find a wide open Brian Leonard down to the Ravens 35. Then Dalton found Jermaine Gresham all along down the left sideline inside the 10. Cedric Benson plowed in from four yards out for his second score of the day and the Bengals were within three at 17-14.

The teams traded punts for most of the rest of the third quarter when Andy Dalton didn't see rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith undercut a route. Smith picked it off and returned the ball inside the Bengals 10 where he was stripped. Andy Dalton and Bobbie Williams had an opportunity to recover, but Baltimore came out of the pile with it. Ray Rice plunged in for his second score on the next play and Baltimore was back up by ten, 24-14.

Cincinnati started the fourth quarter with more mistakes. What looked like a well-designed option play nearly blew up when Andy Dalton and Andrew Hawkins misfired on the pitch. The next play, Dalton was picked off for the third time, this time by LaDarius Webb. Joe Flacco and Torrey Smith cashed in on the next play when Smith got behind the Bengals safeties and caught a 38 yard throw. The Ravens led 31-14.

Dalton remained nonplussed. The next drive he drove the Bengals to midfield before finding Andre Caldwell down the right sideline for a 49 yard touchdown. That pulled the Bengals back within 10 at 31-21. The defense then obliged by forcing a three and out and the Bengals had one more shot at pulling within one score with 8:57 remaining.

A pass interference call against LaDarius Webb got the ball out to midfield. A strike to Jermaine Gresham picked up 12 more yards and then Dalton scrambled inside the Ravens 30. Dalton scrambled again on second down and picked up another first down inside the red zone. On third down, Jermaine Gresham made an incredible juggling catch at the pylon to complete a nine yard touchdown. After a review however, the officials ruled it incomplete. A 27 yard Mike Nugent field goal did pull the Bengals to within a score at 31-24.

The Ravens ensuing drive picked up one first down, but the Bengals held on a critical third and one near midfield. After a Sam Koch punt, the Bengals had the ball at their own 13 with 2:27 to play with two time outs remaining. A scramble and a slant-in to Andrew Hawkins quickly got the ball out to the Cincinnati 42 at the two minute warning.

Dalton then found Jerome Simpson deep down the left side for a 43 yard pickup down to the Ravens 7 yard line. After an incompletion to Andrew Hawkins, Dalton was called for intentional grounding but the officials missed the horse collar tackle by Terrell Suggs that aided the wrap up. The Bengals faced a third down and goal from the Ravens 17. Dalton was flushed out of the pocket and had to throw the ball away on third down. On fourth down Dalton was sacked leaving the Bengals short in their comeback attempt.

The Bengals once again showed their resilience, but that wasn't until they had first shown their youth. While it's laudable that they came back from a 17 point fourth quarter deficit and had a chance to tie, you can't do that in Baltimore and expect to win.

Andy Dalton showed why the entire NFL is buzzing over his potential, finishing with 373 yards, 262 of those in the second half. Bengals receivers also showed up big time without the presence of AJ Green. Jerome Simpson led the way with eight catches for 152 yards.

For the game, Cincinnati outgained the Ravens by over 100 yards and won the time of possession, but they lost the critical turnover battle which ultimately cost them the game.

Cincinnati will have to respond now to two consecutive losses as the Cleveland Browns come to Paul Brown Stadium next week. The AFC North title now looks like a long shot, but the playoffs are certainly within the realm of possibility. A healthy AJ Green would certainly help in that pursuit.

For now, Cincinnati is 6-4 and facing a crucial run of games that will determine whether they keep playing beyond the regular season. Marvin Lewis certainly isn't in the business of moral victories, but the past two weeks have proved the Bengals belong in the conversation of the AFC's best teams.

After climbing to a four month high on Thursday, Brent crude oil looked poised to end the week on a high note as it neared $110. The commodity traded at $109.53 at 8:32 GMT on Monday morning as investors kept a keen eye on Egypt where unrest added fuel to worries that the nation's ongoing conflict could disrupt crude supply.

Reuters reported that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has announced a day of anger in which millions will march across the nation to show their disapproval of a security crackdown which left hundreds of Islamists dead. Although Egypt does not produce oil, the Suez Canal is used to ship much of the world's crude and an interruption in operations would cause a large supply disruption.
The struggle in Egypt added to several other supply factors in the region as both Libya and Iraq dealt with their own supply concerns. Iraq is planning to carry out maintenance on its Basara oil export terminals, a process that would cut Iraqi oil exports to 500,000 barrels per day. However, in light of the current supply concerns, the nation is considering postponing the maintenance.

Protests in Libya have kept the nation's oil exports from their normal levels as several Libyan export terminals have been completely shut down. Although Libya's largest refinery, Ras Lanuf, has restarted, the nation's exports are at less than half their normal levels as several other crude oil terminals are still closed.

Speculation about the US Federal Reserve's plans to taper its stimulus spending has put some pressure on Brent prices as investors try to predict when the cut back will begin. Recent positive economic data has added to the growing belief that the central bank will start to roll in its $85 billion per month bond buying plan in September.

yes, I KNOW they do.  why?  because it makes for efficient use of the
cluster.  OK, so I add to my list of grid premises: assume cycles are
cheap and efficiency is not important.

there's nothing wrong with genericity that preserves efficiency.
the problem is that genericity often implies a noticable loss there.

you seem to have users who have loosely-connected, non-compute/ram/io/ipc
intensive programs.  you're right: for them, grid is going to be great.
for my main machine, the priority is specifically to run tightly-coupled,
compute and memory-intensive, long-running codes.  for that class of

OK, I'm puzzled now.  how does a grid user do that?  he doesn't even know
what machines the code is going to run on, whether it's got 3dnow or sse2,
etc.  not to mention libraries, etc.

maybe I'm totally confused.  you seem to be saying that grid will
provide something new.  users still have to ssh in to an account
that I still have to make for them.  they still have to use our
queueing system, and obey our resource limits.  grid gives them what,
just a plugin that lets them have a meta-scheduler across multiple

ah, that's all.

ah, interesting.  I know Globus uses its own random/nih PK infrastructure,
but is it in some way better than the standard (ssh)?

if accounting is separate, it sure looks like a cycle scavenger to me.
oops: "cycle harvester".

FancyBox: The Apple Style Lightbox

There have been many clones on the ever so popular lightbox javascript that has been a big trend for quite some time, not only because it looks nice but because it is a useful way to display information in, without opening a new window.

Many with me are admiring some of the effects that Apple uses on their websites and web services and on their main website, they are using a lightbox as well (surprise surprise). What should be no surprise either is that it looks pretty darn cool. Luckily for all of us, there is a clone for this style as well, called FancyBox (and it is free).

If you are running an Apple themed website, or you just want a classy lightbox, have a look at it. It supports both images, videos, ajax loaded and iframe content, with a 1.3 version coming soon (currently in release candidate) that supports flash better as well as many other cool features.

Do you use FancyBox? Do you have another favorite one? Let me know in the comments!
