SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY - CREME BRULEE STOUT First off, this might be one of the best smelling beers i have ever tried. Huge amounts of vanilla and caramel that give it a really sweet smell. Taste has some butterscotch, caramel and coffee but the vanilla almost drowns them out and it has a fairly strong alcohol finish. I was probably actually a little dissapointed in this one, after the aroma i really thought i would love it, but it just seemed to be missing a little something to make it special. Dont get me wrong, its really good, but its almost just a little too sweet and they could hide the alcohol in the taste a little better. It took me a little time to actually finish the bottle (it only comes in a 22 oz bottle), its definately a sipping beer. This would be a perfect after dinner desert beer split amongst a few of you. Would i have it again? of course.
JESSE JOHNSON - BARE MY NAKED SOUL Jesse was the guitar player in Minneapolis band The Time and also has put out a handful of solo albums since then. This is a release from 1996 and is incredible. The Time and his earlier solo work was more in the funkier Prince style- r&b and pop. This one is a straight up guitar driven rock album, and is amazing. Think Jimi Hendrix. This album has it all, a few instrumentals, hard rock, blues, and funk. Its not just the guitar playing that rules this one, the songs themselves are all solid, great lyrics, personal stories and as the title implies, he really bared his soul on this one. This album wasnt as huge as it should of been, in my opinion, its great. Sixteen amazing tracks, they all are my favorite, but the real standouts are: My Life, I Miss, You Dont Love Me The Same, Brand New Day, Mr. Heartache, and Monika. If you can find this one, its worth checking out. Killer stuff.
