  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan and fry the mince until browned – you may need to do this in batches. Set aside as it browns. Put the rest of the oil into the pan, add the vegetables and cook on a gentle heat until soft, about 20 mins. Add the garlic, flour and tomato purée, increase the heat and cook for a few mins, then return the beef to the pan. Pour over the wine, if using, and boil to reduce it slightly before adding the stock, Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 mins. By this time the gravy should be thick and coating the meat. Check after about 30 mins – if a lot of liquid remains, increase the heat slightly to reduce the gravy a little. Season well, then discard the bay leaves and thyme stalks.

  2. Meanwhile, make the mash. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes in salted cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until tender. Drain well, then allow to steam-dry for a few mins. Mash well with the milk, butter, and three-quarters of the cheese, then season with the nutmeg and some salt and pepper.

  3. Spoon meat into 2 ovenproof dishes. Pipe or spoon on the mash to cover. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. If eating straight away, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 25-30 mins, or until the topping is golden. Or follow the steps (below) to freeze.

5 stars, this recipe is phenomenal. Just follow it exactly and it will turn out better than you could imagine. The nutmeg in the potatoes sounds weird, but it really pushes this over the edge and makes it beyond words.

I made this using quern and served it up to non-vegetarians. They all loved it. I replaced the celery with peas as I didn't have any. The sauce is really tasty. I shall be making this again very soon

What a beautiful Cottage Pie. The sauce was deep and rich whilst the potatoes added a real savoury flavour to compliment the sauce. Delicious!

I cooked this yesterday (04/11/2015) following the recipe minus the red wine. It was great for a mid week meal and all four of us enjoyed it. Great.

Yep, the rating is worthy ... do it.

I made this yesterday for myself and two hungry men, it was gone in an evening. First time making this and I was without nutmeg, garlic, celery (I used peas) thyme or bay leaves but it was still delicious. Can't wait to make it again

Fab recipe! I always use the slow cooker and it tastes perfect. Lovely & rich flavours
1st Feb, 2016
Hi, I was thinking of using my slow cooker as I love mince to be slowcooked so it's soft and juicy. Did you follow all the step up to the point of simmering and then transferred it? If so, how long did you let it simmer in the sc? Thanks x

Definitely worth the time, a real crowd pleaser! Amazing flavours. My fave!

Not a fan of cottage pie but for this I make an exception! A hit with the whole family and great for freezing. I actually prefer it reheated as the flavour of the mince is even richer (I don't use wine as I have a toddler, but it's still really tasty without).

Went here a few times this week while visiting Pinedale. First off I think its pretty cool a town the size of Pindale has a brewpub. The pub is right on the main drag of in Pinedale, very cool sign made out of kegs outside caught my eye. The brewpub itself is a cozy little place with a nice little patio facing the main street in Pinedale. The bar is really cool they have all the major peaks of the Wind River range...the only bad thing is the wood either was not completely flat or warped cause the bartop itself is not completely flat so I bet a few beers have been spilled on it....but a very unique and cool look to the bar. The beer at Wind River was nothing great. Their darker beers the porter and stout were above average but the others were below average to average at best. I did not try any of the food their but the menu looked pretty good. Overall if you are in this part of WY and craving some microbrew Wind River is probably worth checking out...not many microbreweries in WY and you may find some beers you like here.

stopped by Wind River on my way to Jackson from Rock Springs - I've passed by here in the past, but on this occasion the timing was right for a late afternoon draft

the brewpub sits on the main street of a little drive-by town situated adjacent to western flank of the the awesome Wind River range, lots of traffic from people on their way to Jackson and various sportsmen and outdoors peeps taking advantage of the National Parks, fantastic views of the mountains from town

the brewpub is a comfortable, clean building with a decent porch that for whatever reason sits below the grade of the parking lot, inside is a moderately sized but open feeling dining room, plenty of wood and a fairly standard setup - something of a rustic outdoorsy feel, a tv or two with whatever game is on, the bar surface itself is awesome - hardwood etched with a profile view of the Wind River mountain range as seen from town, each peak identified

the selection is quality with something like 12 drafts at a time spanning a nice range of styles, though a few were out at the time of my visit, there is a list online - not sure how up-to-date that is kept, I went with the Strom Bomb Stout and was very pleased

service at the bar was fine, the bartender was friendly if not particularly knowledgeable about the beer

have had a burger and a brisket sandwich - both tasty after days out in the hills

This would be the local brewery closest to my hometown, and tonight was my first time in. Went for dinner and a few beers with mom and dad.

The overall atmosphere is of a decent brewpub witha lot of outdoors things related to climbing. Which shows the other side of Pinedale (mostly a town that celebrates its cowboy image).

The food and beers were both very high quality. I had a brisket sandwich that was tender, and the sauce was great. I had the porter and their "in the black" ale and both were well crafted beers. The porter was on par with Odell's Cutthroat Porter and definitely a beer I would revisit. The black ale was a fairly flavorful, but didn't quite stack up to the porter, I should have drank them in the opposite order. I had a few drinks of my Dad's Wyoming Pale which was a decently hoppy IPA. Still very good beers.

Service wasn't great, by no means were they busy, and our waitress was trying to play that card that she had too much going on. I wasn't impressed here.

They do have a wide variety of beers, from fruit wheat beers to stouts and an old ale. All good here.

Once again great food, and reasonable prices, for an apetizer, 4 pints, and 3 dinners I spent just over 60 bucks. Not bad for a Pinedale establishment.

Overall this is a nice place to go have a few beers, maybe a little loud inside, but not bad. My one main complaint is that their carbonation was a little high on all their beers, that couldve been dialed down a bit. If you're through Sublette County definitely stop in for a pint.

Stopped in after dinner on a Tuesday evening to try the local brew. It's a little bit of a walk from the Best western but not too bad. The entrance is set up kinda odd with the walk way being through the middle of the small parking lot. The patio which faces the highway has tables for outdoor dining. The area inside is smallish so when it is busy the noise becomes something close to annoying. The bar seats between 15 and 20, the tables allow about 40, there are televisions set to where almost eveyone can watch.

The service was pretty good (I sat at the bar) there was a bartender and bartendress controlling the taps and both were friendly like most of the locals in there.

Didn't have any food so I can't say.

With an 8 beer lineup I got a sampler. The lighter beers were fairly good. Medium brews being drinkable and the darker beers being the best.

If I were asked by someone that was passing through Pinedale if they should stop, I would tell them it is worth their time and money.

Pours clear gold with a small white head. Little lacing, and average carbonation.

Smell is almost sickly sweet, with a minimum of hop presence.

Nice flavor, with sweet malt balanced by nice clean bitterness. Lingering malt and hops do battle in the finish.

Decent beer. I wouldn't turn one down.

Nice golden pour as advertised and then the effort goes totally wrong. The brewery prides itself on traditional recipes and authentic adherence to traditional styles. The problem here is that all of those goals can equal bland beer. The aromas are almost nonexistant which is suspect because I drank this beer at a brewers event which supplied the freshest of samples. The taste was hard to decipher other than it was acidic and reminiscent of mass produced pilsners. The ale was very thin and worthy of little other disctinction. Another eh example of the style which is becoming a theme with this brewery. :(

I first sampled this at a St. George tasting held at City Beverage in Winston-Salem. I picked this out of the bunch to pick up and take home to support their cause for being out there.

Poured a caramel color. Fairly cloudy. Only a little bit of white head which disppared quickly.

One of the brewmasters/coowners that was doing the tasting told me that this was hopped with centenial and cascades. (I was also told that they consider this a pale ale...not the blonde in how it is classified here). There is a strong aroma to this beer although much of it is not hoppy. The fruity overtones with bits of citrus do lend themselves to the hops that were used. A sweet malt in there as well. There is something else in here too though, a butterscotch note possibly...I'm not for sure.

Now that I've had this in a larger quantity than the small sampling, this doesn't come across as the pale ale as I was told. Taste has a grassy malt flavor to it with some citrus, lemony hops at the end. A touch of bitterness in the finish.

A decent mouthfeel. Somewhat full with a good bit of carbonation. Drinkability is decent. A good summer hot weather beer.

Overall an average offering which might be suffering from some brewing flaws. I'm not an expert but there seems to be some off flavors in this.

12 oz brown bottle with no freshness date.

A- Deep unrefined gold color, good clarity and the lace has no problem sticking to the glass.

S- Fresh hay-like and biscuity grain with some soft floral hop aroma.

T- Biscuity malt throws down layers of grain, mild fruity with a peach-like flavor. Herbal woody hop settles the malt down and balances, finishes semi-dry with more toasted grain.

M- Ample crispness, moderate body ... a little smooth as well.

D- Easy to put down, I could see pairing this with some spicy beer sausage or even drinking it on its own.

Wow, lots of flavor in this golden ale. Sometimes it is good just to have an ale, nothing that is going to kill my palate ... this one of those beers.

Happy to find something different on my trip to Virginia Beach over the weekend, and a few beers from other local VA micros. Appears golden with a slight orange hue to it along with a nice full two fingered sized head. As the foam dwindles it leaves clear rings of evenly distributed lacing, how bout some nice eye candy. Aroma has a nice bready malt character to it with a delicate floral hop aroma to boot. Notes of butterscotch sweetness arise from the speciaty malts used in this brew. Taste is sweet upfront with crisp buttery fruit tones balanced by mild hopping. Mouthfeel has mild carbonation with a syrupy texture to it all contained in this medium bodied cerveza. Drinkability not a mind blowingly appetising brew, but a sixer of this stuff could definitely be enjoyed over a session of drinking some beers.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.

Appearance: Looks like a light beer pretty much, unfortunately. But I guess you don't drink a Golden -- oddly enough? -- for appearance. Slight lacing resting on the glass. The whiteness of the head is slightly above the color of the beer, but it's nothing fantastic.

Smell: Big malt character and citrus come through mostly, but quality ingredients and balance make it nice for the aromas it gives off. Slight hop bitterness comes through a bit also. Not super complex but pretty balanced.

Taste: Again, big malt character, and lots of citrus and lemony sweetness follows it. By the end there's the slightest amount of bitterness that melds well with the malt. Again, not very complex, but very tasty and balanced.

Mouthfeel: Somewhat crisp, moderate body with all the malt, and a nice spritz of carbonation by the finish.

Drinkability: I'd drink this again; it's balanced, tasty, and goes down well and easy. I'd certainly suggest it for a flavorful version of the style.

The bottled version pours a clear, deep amber body with an orange cast that displays golden highlights when held to the light. Its creamy head of ivory froth holds well and leaves some noteable lace throughout most of the glass. The nose displays a rich, sweetish, and caramel-soaked grainy malt that's accented by delicately citrusy, floral and softly piney hops. It's quite welcoming, and very much enjoyable in itself! The body is medium/full with a very fine, moderate carbonation that's initially gently crisp before warming in the mouth to become creamy and smooth. Rich, caramelish and grainy malt (some Munich?) dominates the flavor but is excuisitely balanced by citrusy, piney, mildly grassy, and lightly spicy hops. A subtle, dried-fruit yeastiness appears; and a solid bitterness reigns things in and remains omni-present, but never steps forwards except in its lingering, dry finish. Very nicely done and quite drinkable!

Pours a nice deep golden hue with a small, creamy head that disappears pretty quickly. Nice aroma - slightly malty, slightly hoppy with some pine and citrus. Nice body, rather creamy. Balanced palate of lightly bitter hops, lightly sweet malt and a nice sweet finish. Nice golden ale.

Clear golden body with a sudsy, white head. Surprisingly aromatic with some warm toastiness and an impression of coarse, earthy English hops. Some nice fresh malt character but the beer is mostly dry with prominent hops that provide wood stem flavors and crisp bitterness. A nice, enjoyable session ale.

Based on notes from my trip to VA. Part of mixed 6-xer

Pours bronze with 1/2" white head. Great head retention & lacing

S: Sweetness & malt

T: Herbal hops & honey malts up front. Piney hops, sweet malt & hops crispness in the middle. Finishes dry & crisp

MF: Medium bodied, crisp & sparkling (nice carbonation!)

Drinks easy, but nothing earth-shattering here; just a very well put together golden/pale session ale!

Overall, a decent beer from my local brewery. Nice color and big head. Flavor has a little sweetness and citrus to it. Balance is not bad. There is a slight heavy feel on the palate. Does not take away from the beer, just thought I would mention it, interesting. Good beer, will drink again !!

Pours bright copper, translucent, with a light ring of white foam. Light malty nose, bready, caramel. Taste is of a light pale, some citrus, and a little lite bitter. Subtle sweetness. Pronounced mildness. Good, yet unremarkable.

Pours nice dark gold in color with a nice tight white head. The head will fade into a lace. There is a nice mixture of hops and malt for the aroma. A good blend of the two. The taste is like the aroma. It starts with the malt and finishes off with the hops. A great blend of malt and hops makes this a very enjoyable beer. This beer will complement any type food .

Enjoyed from the 12 oz bottle from a good Doctor friend. Thanks Chris!

Ale pours a rustic, luminous light amber with a nice off white head of big bubbled foam that lingers long with nice lacing. Nose of sweet grains, light floral hops, and sweet caramel malts. Flavors follow the nose with an abundance of floral hops, honey, caramel, and a moderate grain note that comes in on the back. Crisp mouth feel and good carbonation makes this n ideal session brew that finishes with a nice floral hop character that fades to a spicy hop note. Very nice.

This is a 12 oz bottle served in a Chimay goblet. The ale is cool.

A: The ale is more of a copper red color than gold. There is a small head and no lacing.

S: The hoppy nose has hints of fruit and an occasional appearance from biscuity malts.

T: The taste is a semi-sweet hop flavor that is strong and fresh. The malts are lowkey supporting the hops without taking to big a role

M: This is a surprisingly good beer, with a robust hop character that accentuates the subtle malts. The flavor is reminiscent of Rye2 from Terrapin.

D: Very drinkable. I was disappointed that the Dragon Pack did not include the IPA, but this is a better replacement.

Aroma comes off soapy and herbal to me. Color is copper with a firm, lasting, thumb thick white head. The commercial description says it all: a slightly sweet, malty flavor with a citrusy finish. Although I would add there is an ever so slight spiciness in the finish that i think would accompany hearty foods like meats, burgers or Buffalo Wings VERY well.

Bronze in color, with a decent, off-white head, slight lacing. Aroma is a faint and pleasant malt.

Mouthfeel is slightly chewy. Taste is sweet at first, followed by hops bitterness. Snappy and gingery at the end, perhaps a bit sour, but balanced. Very pleasant and refreshing.

This is my first St. George, and I am pleased. A very competent pale ale.

Pours a very light amber/dark golden with a goodsized white head that sticks around before fading into a nice lace. Very nice floral hops with a very light amount of malt in the background. Taste starts off just slightly malty before fading into a very nice, refreshing, crisp floral hoppiness. Light bodied and extremely drinkable, this is one good brew. This is a very nice brew, not overly bitter, but some nice refreshing hop content that makes this a very nice summertime beer.

A true golden Golden Ale. Nice clear gold color with and invitiing fresh hop aroma; as the beer warms a bit, malt starts to come through in the aroma, too. A nicely balance beer. Easy drinking.

There is a dry finish with an enjoyably bitter aftertaste. I liked this beer more than I thought I would. I could recommend it.

2011 Vintage, Drank 2014 from Tulip.

Didn't try it upon release, but seems to have really smoothed out, and probably bumped up a few ABV's.. Unfortunately didn't get to write a proper review.

A very solid beer. I am usually not too fond of Unibroue, maybe it's the yeast or the spice they use, and I know I stand alone on this one, but this beer I found quite drinkable and very nice.

Complex mix of chocolate notes, caramel, with some hop bitterness. The bottle we split was from my bro Sam Bakko, owner of Wolverine Market, and was 2 years old. This beer is aged in a French oak barrel and the refermented in the bottle. Strange brew!

Gift from a friend excited to try.

A Murky brown, nice near white head, slow to leave, small bubbled cling.
S Dark musk, spicy and Belgian.
T Very spicy. Almost a Xmas beer. Malt is there and yeast, but the spice is dominant.
M - Medium to full, good carb, ok balance.
D - Good to dry. Afraid one and done for me.

Bottle shared by Adam. Thanks man.

Dark copper body with a thin off-white head. Apple aroma with caramel malt and alcohol. Pears, Belgian yeast, booze. Sweet flavor tempered with a touch of Saaz/bittering hops. Hints of white wine. Tasty but a bit boozy. Decent.

Grande Reserve 17 2014 B121423..... Seved at !8 celcius..

Murky mid brown but still fairly transparent.

Medium body, fine carbonation, foamy texture, but without persistent head.

Typical unibroue stretched yeast experience disguised by extra bittering hop and some maple flavour, coffee flavour, and some wood essence reminding me of cheap brandy.

A very boozy Trois Pistoles variation with some ersatz flavouring components which are not integrated.The booziness was the only thing I enjoyed as I usaually avoid boozy beers and so this was rather novel.

This is the last bottle of Unibroue for me. Canada produces many beers with higher malt content and malt quality and more careful fermentation regimen.

Unibroue Grande Réserve 17
750 ml. brown glass bottle, corked & caged, "Bottled in 2013" "BEST BEFORE 02-28-2018"
$12.99 @ Total Wine & More, CHerry Hill, NJ

Appearance: Very hazy (lees were disturbed) deep brown body beneath a massive head of tan that seems to want to rise up out of the glass. Excellent head retention and lacing with a full 1/2 thick head of pillowy foam and broken walls of lace throughout the glass.

Aroma: Apple, soft spice, brown sugar, oak, red grape.

Flavor: As in the aroma, but fuller, with additional notes of chocolate, fig, caramel, bread crust, and soft grass or straw. Soft cinnamon and all-spice. Alcohol becomes more present as it warms, adding to the spiciness. Low level bitterness lingers with brown sugar and grassiness in the finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a dextrinous edge. Its very fine-bubbled natural carbonation leaves it smooth, almost silky, and bordering on becoming creamy.

Overall: Sensational! It's not remarkable in its flavor components or its complexity (compared to other beers within the style), but the overall balance and polish is brilliant. Superbly satisfying. Worth seeking out.

750 ml bottle was poured into a chalice glass.

Appearance: A one finger off white head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is an amber brown color with little vision of anything.

Smell: Spicy, dark fruits, spicy, plums, caramel, bready, cherries, oak, grapes, black currants, and a little leather.

Taste: This beer got a lot better as it warmed. Some bitterness, warming alcohol, dark fruitiness, caramel, bready, spicy, some yeasty notes, oak, and wine.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, a little dry, some bitterness, warm booze, medium to full bodied, and medium to high carbonation.

Overall: I enjoyed this beer more as the time went on. More and more flavors opened up and made this beer quite the treat. Definitely will have to revisit this one again.

Picked this one up locally when it was first released but haven't gotten around to it until now. Enjoyed from a Unibroue tulip side-by-side with a regular 17.

a - identical in looks to the 17 deep murky brown with a traditional creamy Belgian head that hung out for ages and left sheaths of lace that moved as a giant chunk connected to the surface.

s - nose is a very focused Belgian strong dark. Nice oak notes layered on top of deep dark fruit...think figs, grapes, plums, prunes...with a great Belgian sweetness that rounds things out. The regular 17 comes across a bit syrupy in the nose and overly rich...that one has seen its prime but the grand reserve seems to smell just right at the moment.

t/m/o - as the nose suggests, a perfect balance of Belgian sweetness and dark fruit. Perhaps this one has peaked but if so, it was recent as it is tasty like a champ at the moment.it has that fantastic Unibroue feel. The regular 17 is definitely on the syrupy side, but not as bad as the nose suggested...but the grand reserve is in a really nice place right now. Drink up if you have em.

Reminds me a lot of Rochefort 10 except a bit more carbonated. Huge dark fruit flavor -- plums mainly. Bit of oak flavor. Velvety mouthfeel. Delicious, dangerously easy to drink 10% beer.

2011 vintage bottle

Appearance - reddish brown body with tan head

Smell - plums, red wine, figs

Taste - plums, grapes, figs, oak, red wine, blackberry

Mouthfeel - medium bodied, high level of carbonation, full, rich, sweetness from the dark fruits upfront, oak on the backend, which is integrated into the flavor nicely

Overall - very good Belgian ale. Recommended

Price Point - $12.99/ 750 ML bottle

What a great beer!! I can't believe I held on to this one for 3 years. Poured from a corked and caged bottle into my Chimay goblet. Muddy brown color with a lot of yellow light coming through. Nice size off white head with average retention. Minimum lacing.

Aroma is some dark fruit and oak. The smell is much weaker than the big flavor.

Taste is very good. Dark fruit (mostly figs) with the main flavor being the oak. Rich and malty, goes down very easily. Not much alcohol in the taste, mostly a warming effect, but then again I have had this for 3 years.

Mouthfeel is rich and mostly smooth. The oak provides a little bite and the warming effect of alcohol presence is felt.

A great Belgian style ale....typical for Unibroue.

The beer pours a dark chestnut brown with a foamy off-white head that provides substantial and unwavering bubble coverage and leaves a thick coat of sticky lacing while drinking. The nose is yeast-forward with a hint of dried fig, alcohol, light oak and molasses (more so with warmth). It's full flavored with a slightly nutty malt base, bubble-gummy yeast, and lingering tannic bitterness. The beer has a rich winter-weather approved malt base, but is stretched thin by a big yeast fruit presence, bitter oak astringency, and double digit abv. The beer's generous carbonation helps oxy-clean some of those heavy flavors off the palate, but it still sits heavier than expected. Regardless of a less than desirable mouthfeel/drinkability, it's a solid bargain bin find!

Pours a dark cloudy browb with a yellowish head about an inch thick. Retains pretty well.

Smells of grapes, nuts, brett yeast, and a bit of spice.

Wine grapes, cinnamon, oak, bretty yeast, caramel, and apple all come together in the taste. Hint of roasted nuts.

Full body with fluffy carbonation.

Very nice Belgian style ale with lots of body and character. Really nice emulation of the style while also standing uniquely on its own. About as good as you can get in this style this side of the ocean and better than some of the actual Belgians too. Grab it if you can.

This is a 2012 bottle, so it has a couple years of age on it.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: Dark brown glass with murky edge of light brown. The head starts a big 2 finger head and drops to a thin brown cover that leaves a few little drops of lace.

Smell: Strong notes of the house Unibroue yeast, a blend of dark fruit, alcohol whiffs, a light lemon twist.

Taste: Rich, but not overpowering. The dark fruit, plum, cherry, and a bit of tannin, that all manages to stay light and almost airy.

Feel: High carbonation is almost champagne like with a light body that dries quickly leaving a mild chalky note.

Overall: A masterful beer. Great flavor, rich but not heavy, complex but subtle, great execution. The dry finish is a slight drag on the total package, but encourages another tasty sip.

750 ml bomber, poured into an oversized wine glass at room temperature. Per the label, this was bottled in 2013, and so is anywhere from 2 - 3 years old at the date of this review (2015/12/29). The "best by" date suggests consumption before 2018/2/28, so I'm assuming closer to 3 years than 2.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark, deep burnished-copper red, and forms a thick head of pale tan foam that swiftly dissipates. Tiny patches of lacing cling to the glass in its wake.

Smell: Caramel candies, freshly unwrapped, near a wooden bowl full of ripe cherries. Elsewhere in the same room, some crumbled toffee sits beside an open jar of plum preserves.

Taste: Cherry springs right to the forefront of the palate from the first moment of the sip, buoyed aloft on soft cushions of caramel atop pillars of toffee. Oak hardwood seeps in around the edges as the sip moves along, bringing with it some tinges of tobacco and tanned leather. Alongside the introduction of the oak, the cherry seems to shed a bit of itself, which becomes complements of prune, fig, and nectarine. By the end, a wash of candi sweetness appears, whisking the other flavors along the back edge of the palate and down the gullet. What lingers behind is a sweet mix of cherries and oak, with hints of the tobacco notes.

Mouthfeel: Smooth and somewhat creamy, yet just at the border of light- and medium-bodied, with enough carbonation to sparkle on the tongue without lending sharpness to the flavor.

Overall: I rather enjoy this beer each and every time I have it, and consider it among the top tier of quads/BSDAs. Needless to say, I've had this beer on more than one occasion, and intend to continue doing so.

4.69/5  rDev +10.6%

Appearance: Deep Brown color with Ruby Highlights. Strong degree of opacity. Off-white/tan finger’s-worth of lacy head that does not dissipate and clings well to the sides of the glass. No visible carbonation

Smell: Rich and bready, subtle roasted malt notes balance well with cocoa tones.

Taste: Rich sweetness all over the tongue but not cloyingly so. Just enough hop bitterness to add dimension to the malt character.

Mouthfeel: Medium-heavy bodied. Coats the tongue like a cool blanket. No tactile presence of carbonation and slight alcohol warming on the back of the palate.

Overall: I purchased this bottle to celebrate tasting my 500th different brew and the boys up North sure didn’t disappoint. This ale is brewed once yearly and this particular example was bottled in 2013. Past awards include 68 Gold and 8 Platinum Awards in International Judging. This is a beer that deserves to speak for itself. Hunt one down and save it for a quiet, reflective night.

750 ml bottle for $10

Appearance is a lovely red-brown colour with a 1.5 finger foamy white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Looks inviting

Nose is of alcohol first off,dark fruits vanilla,cocoa,spiced rum and sherry.

Taste is just...wow. Vanilla is what hits me first, really picking up that french oak. Ripe figs,blue plums,bittersweet chocolate and a very distinct alcohol burn, but in a really nice way. You can taste all 10% of this beast. The typical Unibroue yeast is un-noticable here, as far as i can taste. Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel.

Overall a really great sipper....truly a cool weather beer though. Very complex and balanced. Glad that i've got another bottle tucked away in the cellar to sit on for a year or two and revisit.

2013. 750 ml bottle at Beer Authority, NYC. Paid way too much but I look at it as a one time thing. I'm a big Unibroue fan because of the unique yeast flavor. This brew has just a hint as the stars are the caramel/malt flavors. This thing is growing on me proportionally to the rose in my cheeks. I can feel, from behind the mask, my complexion turning to that of the jovial monk that bedecks most Trappist labels. It's 70F outside but I'm in a Yuletide flava'. Do not....I repeat ...do not...misconstrue this as a complaint. The further I get into this endeavor, the more disembodied I get. Is that Tim Leary over there drinking W/Jerry Garcia. Methinks it just might be. In the end this was a most enjoyable venture.

Bottled in 2013. Mahogany color with a massive amount of khaki head. Smells of dark fruits, spices, some cocoa, and caramel malt. Delicious tasting with caramel malt, dark fruits, spices, yeast, light chocolate, and a bit of oak in the finish. Has some alcohol warming to it. Medium body with high carbonation. Another great beer by Unibroue.

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2And now here we are,
standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is a well-built city;
its seamless walls cannot be breached.
4All the tribes of Israel—the Lord’s people—
make their pilgrimage here.
They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord,
as the law requires of Israel.
5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,
the thrones of the dynasty of David.
6Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
May all who love this city prosper.
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,
“May you have peace.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

Are your software costs efficient?
Can your ROI on IT investments be improved?
Let Binadox Software Usage Monitoring help you answer these questions
and get the most out of your IT assets.

Key benefits

Control and transparency of software usage

Binadox monitors software installed on employees devices across your organization. Binadox identifies used and unused applications, their last-time usage and cost. In addition to software usage management, a user can generate Binadox Software Usage Reports. Those reports include such details as a number of installations for each software product, usage count in percentage, and applications not really used. These data can facilitate development and implementation of software usage policies.

Software license compliance support

Binadox Software usage monitoring complements the Binadox Software License Compliance and Assets Management solution by identifying unused software that can be removed from employees devices to preserve organization’s compliance.

Software procurement optimization

When the organization is able to discover unused purchased software, it can cut its IT expenses by simply reducing the number of licenses in the future or revoking redundant license agreements, if stipulated by their terms. (Try License Analyzer to review license terms.) Additional savings on software costs can be achieved by identifying applications with similar functions to consolidate onto one vendor and negotiate more favourable terms, or by switching to less expensive alternative software products.

Increased productivity and security

Software usage monitoring discovers unapproved software products that could expose organization’s security. Removing software that was not approved by the IT can also contribute to the increase of employees productivity, as they will be no longer distracted by applications unrelated to their work.

Software utilization efficiency

Licenses for applications that are not used by some employees can be reassigned to others that require them. Some employees may never use software only because they did not receive the appropriate training. Thus, revealing unused software could assist in identifying untrained employees.

Binadox Software Usage Monitoring is an intuitive software usage tracking tool. It helps
you find out what software is used, what software is not in use, and how much
does it cost you.
Software Usage Monitoring

Whether it’s the IT department in a locked-down environment that makes software installations or employees themselves, not all purchased software products may be used equally efficiently. Some of them might be not used at all, which means that the money spent on software licenses were invested unwisely.

Binadox Software Usage Monitoring provides data on software usage (including a number of installations and percentage of usage) for the last month, last week, last day or any required period of time to help you make your software licenses accountable and control software spending. With Software Usage Monitoring you can define what software is not used or underused to save on license expenditures.

Software Costs Management

Binadox Software Usage Monitoring facilitates cost monitoring and management by displaying cost of every purchased piece of software. The Cost column is filled by the user. This feature allows you to have all costs listed in one place for quicker and handier software expenditure management.

Software Usage Reporting

Understand exactly how your software licenses are used and how much it costs you with Binadox Software Usage Reporting. Usage of every software product in your organization is recorded in reports that give you valuable insights on cost saving opportunities.

Inaugural Jockey Challenge Scheduled

Inaugural Jockey Challenge Scheduled

Kent Desormeaux is among those scheduled to compete in the inaugural Jockey Challenge at Pimlico Race Course May 15.

(Edited press release)

Eight of the nation’s top jockeys, including Eclipse Award winners Kent Desormeaux, Edgar Prado, Garrett Gomez, and John Velazquez, will square off in the inaugural Jockey Challenge at Pimlico Race Course May 15, the day before the $1 million Preakness Stakes (gr. I).

The Maryland Jockey Club teamed up with the Jockeys’ Guild for the event and will make a $5,000 contribution to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund.

The jockey with the most points at the end of a four-race competition will be crowned champion. Riding assignments will be determined by a drawing May 10, and jockeys receive points for finishing first (12 points), second (6), third (4) and fourth (3) in each race. The champion jockey will earn $14,000. Other prize money is as follows: $10,000 (second); $8,000 (third); and $3,500 (fourth through eighth).

“We wanted to provide some added spark to the Black-Eyed Susan card, and jockey promotions have been popular with fans throughout the years,” said Maryland Jockey Club president and chief operating officer Tom Chuckas in a release. “Thanks to Terry Meyocks at the Jockeys’ Guild, we have attracted some of the biggest names in the business to our inaugural event.”

The riders will also participate in an autograph session that morning in the Pimlico grandstand with a special souvenir poster to be made available.

“The jockeys look forward to working with the Maryland Jockey Club to present a special day of racing for the fans,” said Meyocks, national manager of the Jockeys’ Guild. “With an autograph session in addition to the competition on the track, fans will be able to meet their favorite riders. Thanks to MJC’s contribution to help disabled riders, the event is a win for racing, the fans and riders who have suffered life-changing injuries. Events like the Jockey Challenge provide additional color to an already outstanding weekend of racing.”

Game Yougottawanna Repeats in Seabiscuit

The gritty gelding Yougottawanna registered a repeat victory in the $86,250 Seabiscuit Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. III) Saturday at Bay Meadows, going gate to wire to win by 1 1/4 lengths over Jake Skate.

Favored Adreamisborn finished up third in the 1 1/16-mile affair, 2 3/4 lengths behind the winner. The final time was 1:41 2/5.

Yougottawanna has now won three of four races lifetime-all stakes victories-at Bay Meadows, including the 2002 El Camino Real Derby (gr. III) for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. Now 6, the son of Candi's Gold has been claimed a couple of times since then. But he's back with Hollendorfer, who has kept him in stakes company since taking him for $80,000 prior to last year's Seabiscuit, which he also won in front-running fashion.

Saturday with Jason Lumpkins aboard, Yougottawanna stole away to a three-length lead after a half mile while staking fractions of :22 2/5 and :45 2/5. He maintained a two-length edge on the far turn after a quick three-quarters in 1:09 2/5 and turned away a menacing challenge from Jake Skate and Iggy Puglisi in upper stretch when the two rivals drew nearly even. Yougottawanna put his foe away while winning in a full drive.

The chestnut registered his 10th win in 32 lifetime efforts (to go with seven seconds and five thirds) and pushed his earnings to $626,624, while paying a generous $12.60, $6 and $3.40 as the fourth choice in the field of seven.

The California-bred earned $41,250 for his current owner, Peter Redekop B.C. Ltd.

Jake Skate, who defeated both Adreamisborn and Yougottawanna in their last start, the Lafayette Handicap, on a sloppy track at Golden Gate Fields Jan. 1, returned $4.20 and $2.60. Adreamisborn, who won last August's Longacres Mile (gr. III) at Emerald Downs for Hollendorfer, paid $2.60 to show with Russell Baze aboard.

Habaneros, Third Half, Desert Bloom, and Freddy followed.

Medtronic Nerve-Burning Failure Stymies Industry Progress

The failure of Medtronic Inc.’s nerve-burning device to treat high blood pressure in a clinical trial deals a blow to more than 60 companies pursuing similar technology.

Medtronic, the world’s biggest maker of heart rhythm devices, said today it will suspend patient enrollment in the U.S., Japan, and India, where studies were being conducted for regulatory approval. The procedure, called renal denervation, works by searing nerves in arteries near the kidney to quell the production of hormones involved in blood-vessel contraction.

The results may be devastating for one of the most anticipated new technologies in the medical-device industry that analysts estimated would generate as much as $3 billion annually. One billion people worldwide have high blood pressure, and about one-third don’t respond well to standard drug therapy.

“This is a colossal disappointment,” Mehdi Shishehbor, director of endovascular services at the Cleveland Clinic, said in a phone interview. “I think many companies are going to go back to the drawing board.”

Medtronic, Boston Scientific Corp., St. Jude Medical Inc. and others already sell the nerve-burning devices in Europe based on studies showing they slash blood pressure in patients not adequately helped by medications. More than 60 companies are developing similar technology, said Shishehbor.

‘Surprising’ Results

“The efficacy miss is surprising and disappointing given the apparent strength of all the European non-randomized studies, and the initial enthusiasm of the clinical community,” Derrick Sung, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. said in an investment note today.

Medtronic’s trial differs from previous studies as it was the first to compare the actual treatment to a sham procedure, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The device failed to meet its efficacy target in that trial, the Minneapolis-based company said today in a statement. It was also the biggest study to date, with more than 600 patients in multiple countries. Similarly to a drug trial, the patients didn’t know whether they were receiving the real or sham treatment.

The failed trial also “creates anxiety from the standpoint of acquisition,” Shishehbor said. Medtronic acquired closely held Ardian Inc. for $800 million in January 2011 to develop the renal denervation device, while competitor Boston Scientific paid $125 million for closely held Vessix Vascular Inc. in November 2012.

Given the negative results from Medtronic’s trial, “nobody’s going to want to pay so much money” for similar technology, he said. “A lot of innovation is going to slow down.”

Shares Fall

Medtronic fell 2.4 percent to close at $59.36 in New York, the biggest single-day loss since February. Sung said he expected “only limited impact to the stock” as the U.S. approval and market introduction wasn’t expected until 2016. He rates Medtronic as outperform, which is equivalent to a buy rating.

The suspension will probably result in a one-time impairment charge, Medtronic said in its statement.

“This course of action is the most prudent and will help us thoroughly evaluate these findings and determine the appropriate next steps for renal denervation therapy,” Rick Kuntz, chief medical officer of Medtronic, said in the statement.

Living with the Black Hmong in Sapa

Black Hmong Trekking in Sapa
fter a painful night bus from Hanoi to Sapa, Scott and I were determined to find a local family to do a homestay on our own. We had enough of guided tours after Halong Bay, we felt like they sucked all the fun out of the beautiful place by making you do things when they wanted you to do them. When we got off our sleepless night bus (thanks to a drunk idiot yelling at his wife all night) at 6 am we were bombarded with local Hmong ladies trying to get us to do a homestay or trekking in their village. We tried our best to be no so grumpy and found two lovely ladies who were willing to wait for us to do our homestay the next day after we got one good day of sleep in a hotel.

Beautiful Sapa

For those who do not know, Sapa is home to some of the most beautiful mountains in Vietnam. The mountains are filled with lush, green rice paddies and small local tribal villages. Most of the villagers are Black Hmong, but there are other tribes as well including Red Dzao. We were lucky to spend two nights and three days with an amazing Black Hmong guide and her family in Lao Cai. What’s even better is that it was very personal and unique, she could only house Scott and I so it was a more intimate experience.

In the Clouds
The trekking itself is through a beautiful, almost dream like backdrop. You will see layers and layers of rice paddies, a few waterfalls, rivers, and of course the gorgeous mountains. Your guide will look after you. Each day we did about 4 hours of trekking that was moderate to easy. There were times we were huffing and puffing after doing some steep inclines, but overall it was pretty easy. It’s impressive to think that these ladies do this type of trekking daily even while pregnant! Here is the trekking schedule we did. Day 1: Sapa to Lao Cai Day 2: Lao Cai to Sapan (these villages are actually close to eachother but our guide took us off the beaten path) Day 3: Lao Cai to Tavan, Lao Chai and end in Sapa

Our Home

Sapa in the Stars
  The lovely family’s home we stayed in housed our guide, Bau and her husband and their three kids. The house is basic and only had two beds, so when guests are there the entire family will sleep in one bed. We were impressed that they still were so gracious to open their home to strangers when in fact they only had two beds. We were mostly impressed with the kitchen which consisted of a small fire pit and a small table to prepare food. There was no running water so they had to gather spring water from the mountain behind the house for cooking and bathing. The house was basic, but surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen. Scott loved the full on access he had to exploring through their rice paddies and taking photos.
Hills of Green

Our Family

  Like I said before, Bau has three darling children including an 8 month year old son. It was fun to play and watch the kids interact and have fun without all the luxuries and technology gadgets that children back at home had. My favorite moment would have been waking up in the morning to kids laughing and sounding really excited. When I looked outside I saw that they had caught giant beetles and attached a leash (small string) to it and were watching it fly circles around them while their kitten also tried to attack the beetle. The kids sounded just as excited as when kids in America are told they are going to Disney World.

Not only were the kids cute, but our guide Bau was extremely welcoming to her home. She even let me try on her beautiful homemade clothes!

Hmegan  We also had a second guide who we only did trekking with named Vang.   Trekking in Sapa What Vang didn’t tell us that she is also secretly a model. I mean seriously WTF!

  She took us to her family’s home in Sapa on the second day for lunch, and again her family was welcoming and friendly. They did a great job making us feel like a part of the family. They also tried to get us drunk on rice wine, but we still had 2 hours of trekking to do! We feel like we had a really special experience because of the families we were surrounded by.       Rice wine!

Multi-Tasking  We were amazed at how they prepare all of their food. Everything is so fresh! They do not have refrigerators or anything to preserve their food, so every meal we had was fresh from the garden and fresh meat. Most meals consisted of a lot of rice, meat, tofu, hot chili, and tons of vegetables. We loved the food and admired how healthy their diet was. What was even more incredible was how they cooked the food. They have a tiny, open fire pit in their kitchen and cook one to two dishes at a time over an open flame. Their kitchens have the most bare cooking utensils and yet they bust out delicious meals with 5-6 different dishes to try.

You will be hounded by people to buy handmade goods from them. Luckily, our guides were not pushy with selling. We liked this tactic so we ended up buying more from them. The women make the clothing and the men make the jewelry. I couldn’t go home without an arm full of their beautiful bracelets. If there is something you want, ask your guide to help you find it for a good price. Otherwise you will be BOMBARDED with women and children trying to sell you stuff. It is a bit overwhelming because you do not feel like you get to look at what they have to offer to see if you like anything first and feel obligated to buy something if you even make eye contact. Luckily, Bau and Vang were very good about selling and were never pushing things on us.

Local Culture

20674850900_c430e43116_k We were intrigued by their local customs and culture. I tried to ask as many questions as I could while we were trekking with our guides. Both of our ladies were married by age 20 and had children right away. I found it fascinating how hard of workers they were, even while they were late in their pregnancy. We even saw a woman who was over 100 years old and our guide told us that there are quite a few elderly that age. We also got to learn a little about how they make their clothes out of hemp and dye it with indigo. At our home there was a giant tub in the back with indigo leaves soaking in the water, you could see the dark blue color. I really wanted to stick my hand in there to see what would happen. Their clothing was so intricate and beautiful. I would find myself admiring every tribes’ clothing. I was really happy when Bau let me try on her clothes even though I was twice her size! Their jewelry and accessories are beautiful. The women wear silver barrettes in their hair and stick a silver comb in at the top. I didn’t realize how long their hair was until I saw both of our guide’s fixing their hair. I was sad when I realized my hair wasn’t long enough to replicate their hairstyle when trying on her outfit.
Bau also had a gold tooth that we saw common among women in the Black Hmong tribes. This is just for looks, they see it as more ornamental than covering up a dead tooth. It was interesting just to be surrounded by women and people who live in a completely different way than what you were used to.

We loved our time in Sapa. The landscape and homestay had to make this one of our favorite experiences yet. We are hoping to come back and stay with Bau and Ban next year to watch the rice turn yellow. For those considering going to Sapa, we highly recommend doing an independent homestay. Although, they may not be for everyone. Not only does your money go directly to the local villagers (instead of a tour company who only gives a small cut to the villagers) you get to stay away from the super touristy villages like Cat Cat and stay in less visited villages. On the way back to Sapa you will get to visit two of the more visited villages like Tavan and Lao Chai. If you need AC, western toilets, hot shower, and are a picky eater then you probably should just book the day trekking from Sapa from the local ladies. Check out our 15 second hyper-lapse of the sun setting in Sapa. Generations
*You can also book independent day treks from Sapa as well from local tribal women. The tour companies and tourist information center will tell you not to use the local guides because they do not get a cut of the money that way.

If you are interested in staying at the same lovely family’s home we did please message us and we would gladly give you her number!

Retrofit Radiant Floor Heating - Bob Vila

5 Ways to Retrofit an Old Home to Make It Warmer

If you live in an older home, consider any one of these energy-saving upgrades to reduce heating costs and still stay warm this winter.

Retrofit Radiant Floor Heating - Warm House

Older homes certainly have their charm, but they’re not usually the most energy efficient or the easiest to keep warm. About one-third of our nation’s energy consumption comes from the residential sector, and about 70 percent of this can be attributed to homes built before 1983, according to a study by ConSol, a building and energy consulting firm in California. But living in an older home doesn’t mean you have to put up with drafty doors and cold nights huddled around the fire. There are several smart ways to work with your home’s existing structure to improve its efficiency and make it as warm and comfortable as an old sweater.

You’ve no doubt heard that knowledge is power. Well, in this case, knowledge can actually save you power. An energy audit is a great place to start when you’re seeking to retrofit an older home to make it warmer, because it will show you exactly where most of your warm air is escaping and cold air is entering. Some utility companies offer energy audits for free, so check with your providers first to see if this is a possibility. If not, you may wish to hire a professional energy auditor who will go beyond pointing out the obvious sources of heat loss and give you a comprehensive plan for warming up your home. If you find a professional too costly, you can do a basic energy audit yourself by finding leaks with the smoke from a stick of incense. On a windy day, simply wave the smoke from the incense near windows, doors, and anywhere else there might be a gap to the outdoors. The smoke will blow inwards where you have gaps that let outside air in, and it will get sucked toward heat-depleting leaks. In both cases, you’ll want to close up the gaps with caulk or insulation.

Did you know that a one-eighth-inch gap beneath a 36-inch door has the same effect on your home as a 2.4-inch-wide hole in the wall? Sealing gaps around doors and windows is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most effective ways to warm up your older home. Place weatherstripping around loose doors and windows, and caulk obvious holes around window sashes. You can also seal windows for the winter using a plastic sheeting kit you can buy at your local home center or hardware store. Even drapes and blinds can help retain heat in the colder months. If you still notice a draft beneath your door after you’ve installed weatherstripping, a rolled up towel or “door snake” can further block drafts.

Older homes tend to be insulation challenged. They did not always receive the benefit of this energy-regulating material or the vapor barriers that often accompany its installation. If your home is insulation free—or just lacks adequate insulation—you can retrofit it by hiring trained installers to inject a nonflammable foam resin into existing walls. This means there’s no need to remove either exterior or interior walls and, according to the manufacturers, the installation can take less than a day for a whole house. The foam is filled with tiny air bubbles that increase its heating and cooling properties.

Before insulating an older home, however, be aware of the fact that you need to maintain some airflow. Old homes were designed to “breathe,” and if you seal them up too tightly, you might experience issues with moisture buildup. Talk with your energy auditor to make sure that you’ll continue to have adequate airflow once your home has been retrofitted with insulation.

A thermostat that acts like the brain of your heating system might seem like something compatible with only newer high-tech homes, but replacing an old thermostat with a newer model is a relatively straightforward affair that can be done by most DIYers in homes of any age. You can buy a programmable thermostat that can create different heating schedules for every day of the week, or one that has a set schedule for weekdays and another for weekends. By operating your home’s heating system through a “smart” thermostat, you can make sure the house stays warm and toasty when it’s occupied and saves you money on heating fuel when it’s not. For maximum efficiency, thermostats of all kinds should be installed away from heating and cooling vents, open windows, and direct sun, and should be set to remain at steady temperatures for long periods of time rather than spike up and down throughout the day.

Retrofit Radiant Floor Heating - Warmboard

Unlike electric baseboard units or forced hot air systems that constantly spike the temperature and then kick on again when the house cools down, radiant floor heating provides a quiet, constant warm glow throughout your house. You can retrofit radiant floor heating beneath the floors, in effect warming the actual structure of your home. Not only is this a very energy-efficient way to heat your home, it’s also very pleasant. Imagine never again having to step on a frigid floor on a cold winter’s morning.

Related:  6 Things You Didn’t Know About Radiant Floor Heating

Most radiant floor systems these days are being installed into new homes and would be difficult to retrofit into an older home. That’s not the case, however, with a newer product called Warmboard. Warmboard-R is a subfloor panel designed specifically for remodels. These radiant panels transfer heat quickly from the water in the system’s tubing to the inside of your home. The radiant panels actually increase the rigidity of existing subfloor panels in old homes as well as provide a flatter and smoother subfloor surface for finished flooring. The thick aluminum coating on the Warmboard-R panels can also save you money, because the panels transfer more heat to your home far more quickly than other radiant options while requiring less hot water to reach the desired temperatures in your home.

Who said: "I like a thin book because it will steady a table..."

BookBrowse's Favorite Quotes

"I like a thin book because it will steady a table,
a leather volume because it will strop a razor,
and a heavy book because it can be thrown at a cat."

— Mark Twain

Mark TwainMark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. He was apprenticed to a printer at the age of 13 and later worked for his older brother Orion, who established a local newspaper, the Hannibal Journal.

In 1857 he was commissioned to write a series of comic travel letters but gave up after writing five letters to become a steamboat captain instead. He received his pilot's license at the age of 23. He piloted boats for two years until the Civil War brought a temporary halt to steamboat traffic.

After volunteering in the Confederate army for a few months, in 1861 he began working for the 'Territorial Enterprise' in Virginia City. He wrote a humorous travel letter and signed it Mark Twain (mark twain is a boatman's call indicating that the water is only two fathoms deep, which is the minimum for safe navigation); he continued to use this pseudonym for the next 50 years.

In 1864 he took a job as a reporter in San Francisco and wrote the book that first made him famous, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. From then on he traveled the world writing accounts of his travels for newspapers on both coasts. He died in April 1910.

Sweet Peach Diner in Belmont tastes truly Southern

The Sweet Peach Diner in Belmont is owner Ellen Carter’s valentine to her home state of North Carolina.

The room has a beach kitchen feel, borrowed from childhood days spent on the Carolina coastline. From the L-shaped front dining area to the cozy back room, the walls are sky blue with white wainscoting and paintings of boats, buoys, and dunes.

“It’s Southern and it reminds me of home but I didn’t want to take away from the fact that we’re in Massachusetts,” says Carter, 27, a Wilmington, N.C., native who moved to the Bay State about three years ago. “All of the paintings are actually of Cape Cod or by someone from Cape Cod. So I did try to tie things back in a semi-local way.”

The menu still has a strong Southern accent. Most dishes are pulled from her mother’s and grandmother’s cooking.

“I told [my mother], ‘You should open a restaurant with all your recipes,’ but she never wanted to. She was only interested in cooking for her family,” Carter says. “So when I decided to open a restaurant, I sort of knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to take what my mother had fed us as kids and see what the rest of the world thought of it.”

After acquiring the site of the former Andros Diner, the first-time restaurateur opened her doors last July. The Sweet Peach has an enormous menu, great for diversity but overwhelming as to where to begin. Our first foray is Ellen’s banana bread French toast ($7.99), a recipe with three generous slices of banana bread taken from a chef friend of her family, and the veggie garden omelet ($6.99), packed with broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, onions, and spinach, in stringy Swiss cheese. Both are good, though the spongy French toast with powdered sugar and maple syrup doesn’t balance the strong banana flavor. It’s not as delicious as it should be. A later visit confirms that the traditional French toast ($4.99) is better, simple and straightforward and immediately cleaned off the plate.

The same holds true for Southern pulled pork Benedict ($9.99), one of Carter’s favorite menu items, with slow-roasted pork and poached eggs on a buttermilk biscuit with hollandaise and two kinds of barbecue sauce, and the classic Benedict ($8.99), Canadian bacon and poached eggs on an English muffin with hollandaise. The experiment is notable, featuring both a North Carolina vinegar-based pork marinade and a peach puree barbecue sauce atop, but the original wins. However, fried green tomato Benedict ($8.29), with fried green tomatoes on an English muffin with sauteed spinach, poached eggs, and hollandaise, is a pleasant surprise. The tomato appears pale, almost like an onion ring, but the overall flavor is punchy.

One Southern-inspired breakfast item rises to the top: chicken and waffle ($8.29), three chicken wings served on a single Belgian waffle with syrup. Like the fried green tomato, the chicken is a faint color, but has plenty of taste. The thick waffle is perfect, at once fluffy and firm. Make it a “Hungry Man special” for $2.99 more and add two eggs any style and either hash browns, home fries, or cheese grits. The hash browns topped our list.

After breakfast, lunch was similarly inconsistent without the same standouts. Southern chicken burrito ($8.79), with fried chicken, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and honey mustard, and fried chicken sandwich ($6.99), lettuce, tomatoes, and onion on a roll, both use very crispy chicken that was decent but better elsewhere. The burrito is more of a wrap and its various flavors cancel each other out. The fried chicken on the sandwich isn’t skimpy – it actually looks like huge tempura pieces – but fails to make a lasting impression.

Southwest veggie burger ($7.99), a very soft sweet potato and black bean patty with lettuce, tomato, and onion, is one of the better sandwich options, though the best lunch dish we sample is an appetizer: BBQ chicken quesadilla ($6.99), shredded chicken and cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla, drizzled with Sweet Peach barbecue sauce, and a side of sour cream. The slightly spicy barbecue sauce with hints of peach, also found atop the Southern pulled pork Benedict, works perfectly.

This month, the Sweet Peach plans to open a walk-up, cash-only takeout window with a limited menu based primarily around hot dogs, perfect for families picnicking in next door’s Beaver Brook Reservation. With recipes from her family, Carter should be pleasing many more.
