What I Learned this Weekend…

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I’ll never listen to The Doors song, “Break on Through”,on my Ipod while spreading pine straw, again.  It seems that none of my neighbors are on peyote, and they have no desire to see a fat dude dancing around his yard, like a Psychedelic Indian.

Samuel Smith Yorkshire Stingo

Yorkshire Stingo
Samuel Smith
Tadcaster Brewery
8% ABV

Dark amber to brown-Susprisingly light color, bottle is Dark brown.

Wondrous beer, maybe the most complex I have ever tasted.
I know this flavor from somewhere…Flan maybe? Dry, oakey finish.  I don’t want to say anymore and spoil it for you.  Well done Sam Smith, definitely in my top 5 of all time, (maybe top 1!)
Go find this beer!  Buy two and put one away to age.  This was a limited production, so I don’t know how many are out there. It’s pricey, but when you break it down by each, individual flavor, it’s pretty cheap.  This beer could easily sway the beer vs. wine debate.

Saaalut!!!

10 Extra large, Grade A Bananas!

(Did you ever make an A on a test before the curve?  Do you remember how it felt?  That’s how Yorkshire Stingo feels!)
