And now let me embarrass myself by trying to describe this beer in an intelligent way, while at the same time revealing how very little it is that I actually know about beer.

This may very well be the first doublebock (FACT: this is known as doppelbock in Germany, where the style orginated) I've ever had. I've got to say, with my first few sips, I was unimpressed. However, on further inspection, it's not half-bad. Not my favorite beer in the world, but it's got some decent flavor to it. There's a dark, rich flavor which neither overpowers you nor falls flat on the taste buds.

I'll give it a B-. Now the only question is this: Is the wizard on the bottle the Troegenator, or is he just the Troegenator's biggest fan?

Bourbon - Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve

This is a complex and oaky bourbon that goes down smooth and finishes with a pleasant "pop." I've tried it both straight up and shaken with ice and amoretto (known as a Godfather). Either way is great, although I've heard the price-tag isn't for the faint of heart. This was given to me as a gift, however, so I'm going to continue to enjoy it.

My suggestion? Find someone who likes you and poke them continually until they buy you a bottle.

Cheers!
