I refuse to review beers other then giving a simple I liked or not. That's not what this blog is for :) Also I feel Bill and Jeff both have quite a bit of knowledge. While I don't agree with their views on the beer side of things they do have knowledge. @Bill No problem @Doc

Yea, I've been missing a lot! I've been missing the vast sadness of or poor beer descriptions by an uneducated or trained palate. .....and I quote.... "Santiam Hop Harvest from Three Creeks was nicely done -- a light ale that let the freshness shine through. Astoria's Hoptimus Prime 2.0 was a nice hop bomb, one of those like Double Mountain's Killer Green that is an awesome beer that clobbers the fresh-hop flavor. Pelican's Elemental Ale was bitter and tasty...." Holy Shit! I bet Michael Jackson is turning over in his grave. Are you describing beer to a group elementary school kids or adults? I think I'll go back to reading Beervana..... at least Jeff can describe a beer fairly well. :-O @JARED

After all it was the image I used (which you don't own?), not content. Try as I might your image was the one that fit best though. I'm a big fan of your BS beer review generator by the way. If you want a hat tip, then a hat tip there shall be. :) Of course it was taken from yours :) Although they are relevent, and along the same lines, I didn’t feel they were close enough to need any hat tipping.

"Black like the soul of the undead....." That's a bunch of crap! Usually written by a person who has a good vocabulary, but can't describe a beer. Black, opaque work for me. We're on the same page, dude! There is a set language of descriptors. Some people add they're own twists and turns to the vocab and some add some new descriptors, but there is a language. I once got crap for saying a beer was Mahogany in color. Yet, I've heard that description many times by others. Ignorance is not an excuse for some people. Black, roasty and rich is a bullshit descriptor for a Stout. It could be any stout or hot roofing tar...... ;-} I just oppose dumbing it down. Is that "Oi" or "Oy!"
