BELLS BREWERY INC. - JAVA STOUT  While not a huge fan of the coffee style beers, i had heard good things about this one, and Bells usually does everything pretty well, so i grabbed a bottle the other day. Nice aroma, roasted malts, coffee and a hint of chocolate. Decent taste, fresh coffee up front, some sweetness from the roasted malts, a little chocolate, even some citrusy hops, and then finishes with more coffee. Considering i am not a huge coffee fan, this one was not bad. Very smooth and easy to drink. Overall, a very decent coffee flavored beer, leaned a little too much on the coffee in the flavor, but one i would try again.

PHISH - VENTURA  Nice little 6 CD box set featuring 2 shows from Ventura County Fairgrounds in Ventura, California. One from 7-30-97 and the other from 7-20-98. I only listened to the 97 show today, but that one was around 3 hours in length, and i listened to it twice.  Love the 97-98 era shows, they tend to be more on the funky rock sound, and less jamming-what they are famous for. Fun show, sounds great, a really nice mix.  l liked the cover of Fire from Jimi Hendrix the best.
