In Main Category Beer: Thirsty Dog Siberian Night Entry Tools Rate This Entry

Thirsty Dog Siberian Night

This is a "Russian Imperial Stout" with a 9.0% alcohol rating. It's a winter seasonal release and still currently available. It's a very dark beer, with almost no hint of coloring even when held up to the light. The aroma hints at being slightly bitter. I drank two of these and couldn't get a sense of the beer other than perhaps some distant chocolate. It poured thick (almost like a thin syrup) with almost n ...More Read More

Great Lakes Blackout Stout

This is a "Russian Imperial Stout" with a 9.0% alcohol rating. It's a winter seasonal release and still currently available. It's a very dark beer, with hints of brown in the coloring. The aroma is strong of coffee (espresso perhaps) and roasted malt.

The taste is complex: First off there is a deep chocolaty flavor which is followed up by the taste of roast coffee. Some traces of fruit are detectable, ...More Read More

Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA

This is an American Double / Imperial IPA with a 9.0% alcohol rating. It is available year-round. It has a beautiful clear copper color that may be poured with little to no head, depending on who is pouring. It has a strong floral smell, with a little tart fruit laced in it: Grapefruit and dried apricot.

The taste is definitely hoppy, but the malt is detectable too. It has a slightly bit ...More Read More

Samuel Adam's Double Bock

This is a "Doppelbock" with a 8.80% alcohol rating. It's a winter seasonal release and still currently available. It's a very clear beer with a color between a dark cherry and a copper brown. It has a complex aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malts, and perhaps some dark fruits (raisins, dates).

The taste is exquisite: dark chocolate, caramel, malts, apple, and spices with a creamy texture. The alcohol is hardly n ...More Read More

In Work Windows Vista Firewall Client Entry Tools Rate This Entry

This is a rant. You have been warned.

At last! At long last! Microsoft appeared to to have gotten their act together and implemented a very functional Firewall Client in Windows Vista. No longer should corporate entities (and their IT Client Engineers, such as myself) have to struggle with third-party vendor's and their poorly managed addons, additional licensing costs, and terrible support. Now we can push firewall policies down to workstations via Group Policy, assign OU's unique configura ...More Read More

Right. So I was supposed to be on a three day/two night tour through Shenandoah Nat'l Park. Supposed to be. A few factors kicked in that I wasn't prepared for and couldn't anticipate which caused me to shave off that third day:
- Spotting five bears in the first two and a half hours
- Not sleeping well due to the 90 degree heat index at 11:00pm
- Realizing there is no water source for nine miles or more on the last loop of the trip
But hey, there's a silver lining in everything. As a result ...More Read More

In Backpacking Life on Inactive Reserve: Inactive Activity 1 Entry Tools Rate This Entry
  #1 You are subscribed to this entry  New 06-06-2007 11:43 PM
A week ago or so I made the request to be placed on inactive reserve with the 3rd Special Forces so that I can be more focused on some other aspects of life in the near future without dropping any commitments.

So my first activity while 'inactive' is coming up this weekend: Three days/Two nights solo in the backcountry of Shenandoah Nat'l Park.

To say the least, I'm excited about it. I spent much of the winter acquiring some new gear and just this week blew a few bucks getting the last li ...More Read More
