Calvin helped me tap my "inner dork" with this pic set next to our barn (that's a goat in the window). Yes, those are Army RPGs (rape prevention glasses). My wife said that she "didn't know this person", and my family got a big kick out of the label. This is the other half of the spiced Scottish-80, and it went well with our Thanksgiving meal. The spice is well-balanced, not overpowering. Serving this set off a round of taste-testing homemade blackberry brandy, french-style cider, merlot, shiraz, and other freeze-method liquors brought over by wife's cousin. I'll quote my friend Gil Meyer and say, "A good time was had by all." Brewed October 2008.
Update December 2008: had this one again with Christmas dinner, which we did Provence-style this year. Went really well with the roast lamb, onion tart, spinach dumplings and Christmas bread. The beer has rounded-out nicely.
