That place kicks azz. Nice! The Whole Foods near me has it as singles, so I picked up one bottle a few weeks ago. I couldn't bring myself to buy more because I have so many big barrel-aged stouts in my basement that i couldn't justify buying any more! It's sitting in my fridge until fall. Should be a nice cool-weather beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to rush it, but I love being able to sit on a big barrel-aged stout, letting it slowly warm in a snifter and experiencing the change in the beer over the course of an hour or so. Doing that on a chilly evening is near-perfection. Thing is...we'll have a newborn to look after at that point, so I'll have to make sure I don't take it *too* far.

MN Transplant Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 For the past month or so I've been inundated with emails from the board telling me when I've been quoted or "liked". I tried to turn this off in Notifications, but it doesn't seem to work. Anybody have any ideas? The emails are completely unnecessary as I probably frequent the board more than my Outlook account.

Aside from the suspension, always has knee issues. RBs are dime a dozen. Move on. Too bad the OL is also a huge question mark. Poor Flacco. He will be asked to play like Aaron Rogers again. We know how that ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know how that ends up. I actually liked what I saw from him. Thought he had some good upside. But yeah, doesn't matter who we have in the backfield unless we get the OL straightened out. And as far as Flacco, it is kind of hard to do an Aaron Rogers impersonation when the defense is playing wack-a-mole with your head because of poor line play. But hey, at least looks like we will have a good shot at a top 5, if not top 3, defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, at least looks like we will have a good shot at a top 5, if not top 3, defense. Agree. My primary point is that the Ravens "asked" too much of Flacco last year, with poor line play and a non existent run game. He put up lots of yards, but was very inefficient, and the offense was barely mediocre. Given the state of the OL and the running game at this point, I am not optimistic. That could all change for the better if the line gels with the position changes, and the younger guys step up. As for the D, still dont like the secondary depth- already having injury strike, and Jimmy Smith finding it more difficult to stay on the field as he gets older. There is talent, but another injury or 2 and there will be inexperienced players forced into bigger roles. Not sure exactly where the pass rush will come from, again need the youth to step it up here. Suggs is a a warrior but not very good at sacking the QB anymore. I am not a Dean Pees fan at all. It is clear that situation is static however. For these reasons, I think they are closer to a 10-12 ranked defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I hope it rains enough that I can figure out where this pesky leak is located so I can fix it and finish setting up our garage brewery.
