ABITA BREWING CO. - ABBEY ALE Comes in a 22oz bottle with a 8% ABV. The bottle says "Abbey Ale honors the ancient tradition of monks who perfected the art of brewing beer to support the monastery." They also donate to St. Josephs Abbey with each bottle sold. Smell has some fruits, caramel and a grassy undertone. Taste has a big caramel malt profile up front, no hop bitterness, but i dont get much of the fruit. Pretty sweet, hides the alcohol well. Pretty decent beer overall, one of the better Abita beers i have had.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - EVIL EMPIRE This is the 2nd album from RATM. No sophmore slump for these guys, this album rages almost as much as their debut. Great angry politically charged lyrics combined with one of the tightest bands out there, this grabs you from the first song and never lets up. Tom Morello is unbelievable on the guitar, the sounds he can get out of it will surprise you. While i might not always agree with some of the political lyrics, the songs are still very good and the music is hard and aggressive, good stuff. My favorites: People Of The Sun, Buls On Parade, Vienow, and Without A Face
