GREAT LAKES BREWING COMPANY - EDMUND FITZGERALD PORTER   According to the bottle, this is a Gold Medal winner at the World Beer Championships. To me, the smell is coffee with some roasted malts and a hint of chocolate. Like the nose, alot of roasted malts in the flavor along with coffee, chocolate and a hint of vanilla even. Very tasty. Although it seemed a little on the thin side, still a excellent porter worth seeking out. I only bought a single, so next time i see it i think i will pick up some more.

THIRD EYE BLIND - THIRD EYE BLIND  This is their debut album from 1997. To this day, they are still active, but have only released a total of 4 albums in over 16 years, so their not the most active band out there. Released in the alternative era, they were much more radio friendly, the songs had some good hooks and memorable lyrics. Semi Charmed Life was the big hit, but there were a lot of other solid songs on this album: Losing A Whole Year, Narcolepsy, Jumper, Graduate, Hows It Going To Be, Thanks A Lot, and Motorcycle Drive By. A really good debut, still sounds good to my ears and is still is my active rotation.
