Heresy Imperial Stout Aged in Oak Barrels
8% ABV
Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Easton, PA
Color-Dark as night.  I swear I saw two red pig eyes in there looking back at me!

Aroma-Vanilla, a little dark and toasted malt, peppery hops.

Taste – Great stout start, strong vanilla/oak in the middle, good hoppy/coffee finish.  This is good, real good!  Woo!  There’s the alcohol!  Better slow down and savor this one for a while…I’ll get back to you.  Great, full mouth feel.  Good quality oaked aged stout, highly recommended!
Saaalut!
8 bananas.

I don’t know when fist bumping first started, but it is rapidly taking over and killing the high five.  My first exposure to the bump was at a dive bar across from my old apartment.  They had dart tournaments one night a week.  I wasn’t a regular, but I did get to compete occasionally.  We always had a dartboard when I was in college.  I wasn’t great, but and I did score much better at darts than I ever did in my classes.  Anyway, in the dart tournaments, you were randomly assigned a partner.  I knew how to play darts, but I didn’t know the ins and outs of dart etiquette.  Every time I would score well, my partner would give me the dreaded fist bump and say, “Good darts.”  While I was unfamiliar with the tradition of fist bumping, I went along with it just to fit in with the uber-cool dart community.

I’ve since had time to reflect on fist bumping and I am now totally against it.  There’s no worse feeling than going in for a high five and realizing that your partner is presenting a solid fist.  Do you quickly close your hand and stumble into a weak wristed, half closed hand, fist bump?  Or do you hold strong with your high five and awkwardly slap their closed fist?   It’s really a no-win situation.  I have decided that I will remain open handed and gently wrap my fingers around their closed fist.  I will then hold onto their hand and just look into their eyes and smile, until they uncomfortably jerk their hand away.  I believe this will effectively end the fist bump phenomenon, one uncomfortable hand holding exchange at a time.
