Sorry, West Coasters. I know some of you are still slaving away in the office, but it is time to drink. I have had a Great Lakes Oatmeal Stout amd Sam Adams Octoberfest. I will be, of course, having more delicious beer later.

I'll never forget a focus group we did with high end vodka drinkers when we were developing that concept. The moderator asked people how they felt when drinking some other brands. One guy, drunk off his ass, stood up and pulled out a gun, and said "when I drink Stolichnaya, I feel. .." and he started waving the gun in the air. I was watching behind the glass. The moderator, a gorgeous Pole, very calmly wrapped up and paid everyone their incentives. We got the hell out of there.

I visited the World Trade Center site for the first time in many, many years tonight. Too painful, I'll be drowning my sorrows shortly in Rodenbach Grand Cru.

and I think I remember it being better than this (not sure by how much though).

It tastes "barrel aged", and by that I mean aged in a well-used 50 gallon refinery drum.

BeerAdvocate score of 82 . . .?

On my 3rd, and have no idea why?  I think at this point it's a battle of wills.

I had a great Aunt that lived up north.  She was a 3+ pack a day chain smoker and over the 20 years I visited her i never saw her leave her 8x8 "parlor".
The ceiling was stained brownish and it smelled like sitting in an ashtray, intermittently sloshed with window cleaner to mask the smell.  
She had this little dish of old-school unwrapped hard candies that had probably been there since my mother had been a child.  I'm sure there had been a variety of flavors in that dish at one time, but over the years other guests had teased out the most colorful & palatable choices.
 
But the only ones left were the black ones, that tasted remotely of licorice, windex and Pall Malls. . .

That's what this Coney Island Root Beer stuff tastes like.

It's crap, but it kind of feels like I'm chillin with my "Grante" again.
