LAGUNITAS BREWING CO. - THE HAIRY EYEBALL ALE  A nice winter seasonal from Lagunitas with a 9.4% ABV. Smell has sweet caramel malts, some dark fruit, nuts and toffee. Nice aroma. Taste is very sweet from the malts. Hints of caramal and dark fruits like the smell and finishes with more sweet malts. Very drinakable for the high ABV.  Best as a sipper. A good beer, but not great, just a little too sweet for me. Nice name anf nice story on the bottle, just wondering if the could use a smaller type? Very hard to read.

LUCID BREWING - ORA AMBER ALE  Red ale from Lucid. Kind of unique smell and taste for a red ale.  Smell is sweet with toasted malts, a little fruit, and some smokiness. Taste follows the nose, the smoke seems a little weird to me for the style and unfortunately it dominates everything else for me. Not really sure what to think of this, i usually dont mind red ales, but the smoke just throws this one off for me.

GEORGE CARLIN - A PLACE FOR MY STUFF  Another fun album from George, although cetainly not his best, but still had me laughing. He is definitly missed, RIP George.
