With the onset of an impending blizzard, I did what any self-respecting beer lover would do--I bought myself some decent beers before the roads became impassable. There's something about a blizzard that just screams "beer me." The local liquor store isn't exactly the best place to shop for beers, but I did manage to grab a couple winners that I want to review here at Dad Blogs for the amusement of everyone.

My review technique is flawless. I check for the major elements of appearence, aroma and taste. Finally, I give a final overall grade for the beer based solely on my highly informed opinion. Basically, I really don't have a clue what I am doing, but I like to think I do. This week's review: Dogfish Head's Theobroma.

Theobroma literally translated equates to "Food of the Gods." Dogfish Head's brewer based his recipe for the beer (which includes honey, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, ancho chilies, and annatto) from an ancient piece of pottery which described an alcholic drink using similar ingredients. The recipe is believed to date back to 1200 B.C.

Onto the review:

Hopefully, this will be the first of many such reviews, but that all depends on demand. Let me know if you enjoyed the review and I'll be sure to put another one together--I already have a beer picked out.

Given the hat, t-shirt and lack of razor usage, I think you should have been reviewing that straight from the bottle in a brown paper bag.
I am actually going to add a video of taste testing the Moonshine that John Cave Osborne sent me.

The only way I will consider a good brew, is to see a video of the after-effects...ya know...stumbling, mumbling, falling down drunk...THAT is one way to know a good brew...ya know, u drank it all :-)

Good Going!

Cheers!
