BROOKLYN BREWERY - BROOKLYN BROWN ALE   The smell has hints of roasted malts and barley with a bit of coffee and chocolate. Very nice. The taste isnt quite as good as the smell though; sweet roasted malts with some hints of nuts, nothing real noteworthy. Since the aroma was so nice, i was a little dissapointed in the taste. Seemed a little on the light side as well. Maybe just slightly above average. Easily drinkable, not bad, but just nothin special. 

TESLA - REAL TO REEL VOL. 1  One of my favorite 80s bands. They are still active today and still putting out good music. The Real To Reel records contain songs that inspired the band. This is a great collection of songs and they all sound great with just a little Tesla touch to them. A little bit of a surprise when it was released as Tesla is one of the bands that actually write really good songs, but its fun to hear their take on some classic rock songs. Space Truckin' - Deep Purple,  Walk Away - James Gang,  Hand Me Down World - The Guess Who,  Bad Reputatuon - Thin Lizzy,  Thank You - Led Zeppelin,  I've Got A Feeling -Beatles,  Day Of The Eagle - Robin Trower,  Ball Of Confusion - Temptations,  Rock Bottom - UFO,  Stealin' - Uriah Heep,  Bell Bottom Blues - Derek And The Dominoes,  Honky Tonk Woman - Rolling Stones,  Dear Mr. Fantasy - Traffic.   Just a fun album. Originally volume 2 was supposed to only be available if you bought a ticket to one of their concerts in 2007, but volume 1 was so popular, they eventually released it also...
