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!

Beer mail from our good friend Larry! A super refreshing and enjoyable Kolsch!
Style: Kolsch
Container: 12oz Bottle

Notes:Majestic Mullet Krispy Kolsch is a golden colored ale with notes of cereal & grain. Balanced by hints of floral hop aroma & an accentuating bitterness, the nuances of the yeast add a fruity, vinous note. (From website)

We managed to get some Hopslam and poured it right down our throats!
Style: Double IPA

Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.75/5
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.
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
