Nerdsense Episode 74 – The Prodcast: Screwing Yourself Out Of Existence

Well, today we have a VERY special guest: the oft mentioned Spencer B. Paul.

Our only goal was to review the season finales of Arrow and Flash, and honestly, who the fuck knows if we ever really finished. This was one long tangent, and hopefully it’s as fun to listen to as it was to record. Cheers!

Laurel Wood Workhorse IPA

Style: IPA
Container:
 22oz Bomber
Glassware:
Spiegelau Pilsner Tulip
Notes: Malty with hops on nose. Taste: Juicy, citrus, pine, great finish
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose
: 4.75/5

Stone Arrogant Bastard

Style: Strong Ale
Container:
 22oz Bomber
Glassware:
Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Malty  caramel with apricot, boozy. Mike got “sewage” or bad water” Taste: Better beers have come since this.  Taste: Malt and caramel comes through as it did on the nose. There are hops for sure. 
Overall Nerdsense Rating
: 3.50/5 — We were thrown off by how much our tastes have changed given this was one of the craft beers that got us really loving it.

Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard

Style: Strong Ale
Container:
 22oz Bomber
Glassware:
Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Oak (obviously), maple which adds sweetness on top of bourbon. Taste: Smooth and balanced. Sweetness and mellow compared to the normal Arrogant
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose
: 4.25/5

**BLEND** (Shaun’s favorite part!) 4/5!

You lose the oak and it kind of makes the regular Arrogant a little more smooth and tasty

Nerdsense Episode 65 – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

IT’s FINALLY HERE! The moment we’ve all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, is HERE. It’s March 25 and apparently it’s Good Friday.

Today is the official release date for Batman V Superman, we’ve made it to our final stop on the Road to Dawn of Justice! We saw the movie a couple of hours ago and rushed back to the Nerd Den to record our thoughts!

Don’t worry there won’t be any spoilers in the show notes but expect us to talk about EVERYTHING in the podcast! You’ve been warned!

We’ve seen what Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Jesse Eisenberg brought to the DC Cinematic Universe, and you’re gonna hear all about it in this very special episode of Nerdsense!

Pour yourself your favorite beer and celebrate the arrival of BvS with us because the journey is finally over.

Cheers!
