It’s been a long and lonely road, friends. But we shall persevere on this adventure. We are almost there, and Batman V Superman will be worth it.

On this stop, we apply our usual brand of tough justice to the animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s seminal Dark Knight Returns. (See what I did there?)

This story allegedly informs a large part of the upcoming film, so we wanted to make sure we freshened up on it, so to speak. It’s the most famous of the physical battles between Bats and Supes, and deservedly so.

We also, as usual, cover as much of the weekly geek news as we see fit to print. Trust me, “Parker!” There’s a lot.

Next week, it’s Man of Steel… And then the week after, we will be arriving at our intended destination, the AMC theater in Tyngsboro, in order to watch BvS. Cheers!

Beer

Trillium Summer St. IPA

Same distinctive grain bill as the other “Street” IPA’s, but heavily dry hopped with Simcoe. Our treatment of Simcoe results in beautifully balanced aromatics and provides a satisfying depth of hop-driven flavor. Summer Street IPA bursts with scents of spicy pine, lemon, and grape juice while focused flavors of citrus, pear, and essence of pine wash over the palate. Finish is dry with moderate, resinous bitterness.

Trillium Pot and Kettle Oatmeal Stout

Our signature porter, brewed with oats, has a soft, velvety mouthfeel with layers of chocolate and roasted malt on the palate. The ominously black appearance belies this porter’s approachability; Pot & Kettle is satisfyingly smooth and nourishing, but never lumbering or heavy. While not sweet, dark fruit notes, such as cherries, dates, and raisins, reveal themselves as the beer warms.
