RHINELANDER BREWING COMPANY - CHOCOLATE BUNNY  I remember in college drinking Rhinelander as it was the cheapest beer we could find, and it was absolutely terrible, and i dont think i have tried any of their beers since. I actually wasnt even aware they were still around until i saw this one. Smell is pretty appealing, chocolate with some sweetness, but not overwhelming. Taste doesnt much resemble a stout though, its pretty thin, just sweet chocolate and cocoa flavors, but it actually got a little better as it warmed up. Considering i had such low expectations for a Rhinelander product, it wasnt all that bad. Price is right, but there are just so many better beers in this category, probably wouldnt try it again.

DIRE STRAITS - BROTHERS IN ARMS  I was never a huge Dire Straits fan but i remember buying this one as it was one of the first all digital recorded albums and i heard the sound was unbelievable. They were right, at the time it sounded incredible and actually turned me into a little bit more of a Dire Straits fan. This still sounds great today, just amazing. The guitar sound is great, like they are playing in your living room. You actually still find this CD in a lot of "audio" stores as it is often used to show of speakers. Just a great record. Favorites: So Far Away, Walk Of Life, The Mans Too Strong, Brothers In Arms, and of course Money For Nothing.
