SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY - PUMKING We might have a new leader for me for best pumpkin beer, this one was really good. Big natural pumpkin smell, a little caramel malt and just a hint of spices. Nice to see a pumpkin beer where the spices dont overwhelm. This has a nice smooth strong pumpkin flavor with just a hint of spice and caramel. Very well balanced, the 8.6% ABV is hidden well. I think this is what i want a pumpkin beer to be. True to the style, the pumpkin is not lost by spices and fake flavors. Might be the best representation of actual pumpkin flavor i have tried, this one is as pumpkin as it gets and is a must have each Thanksgiving season.
SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY - WARLOCK Whereas the Pumking is more of an ale, this one is more of a imperial stout style. To me, the aroma is almost the same though, but with more roasted malts and perhaps a little more spiciness.Tastes much like it smells. Tastes a lot like Pumking, but the raosted malts give this some additional flavor. Seems a little on the thin side for an imperial stout though. Again, very well balanced, the 8.6% ABV is hidden well here too. Nice beer too. I dont think you can go wrong with either Pumking or Warlock, just depends on your tastes and preferences. For me, Pumking edges Warlock slightly, but i would have either again in a heartbeat.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND - NO PRIVATE PARTY-ROXY 1978 This is a bootleg of a concert from July 7, 1978. At the time it was broadcast live on select radio stations. I visit a few Springsteen bootleg sites on the internet machine and this show is often referred to as one of the best shows Bruce will ever do or as a contender for best show ever. The quality is amazing and i have to agree its a pretty high energy fun show to listen to and close to 3 hours long! The only downside to me is the few radio station plugs and DJs comments, but aside from that, wow!
