LAGUNITAS BREWING CO. - IMPERIAL STOUT  Nice stout from Lagunitas with a 9.9% ABV. Aroma of caramel, coffee, and chocolate with some hints of dark fruits. Smooth taste, a little sweet, nice balance, no notice of the alcohol. Sweet roasted malts with hints of coffee and bitter chocolate. I like the hints of dark fruit, kind of unique. A pleasant easy drinking imperial stout, with such a high ABV, that is nicely done. I liked this one alot.

BOSTON BEER CO. - SAMUEL ADAMS DARK DEPTHS BALTIC IPA  Interesting beer, labeled a baltic porter, but has a lot of hops like a IPA. Smells of floral and citrus hops, with some maltiness. Taste has some roasted malts, chocolate and fruits, cherry stands out the most. Full flavored, but a little odd. More hops in the aroma than in the taste. Overall, a good beer, i like that Sam Adams puts out some of these experimental small batch beers, some are hit or miss, but i really enjoy trying what they come up with.

STEVIE WONDER - FUNKAFIED RAINBOW  I dont own any of his official releases (which is an unexplainable on my part), but i listen to this bootleg quite often. This was a live show recorded in London in January of 1974. Sound is unbelievable considering it is 40 years old. Great jams and great versions of Higher Ground, Signed Sealed And Delivered, You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Superstition. Might fnally be time to pick up an official release.
