The Plaid Room: October 2010
http://thegsenfeldt.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A personal exploration of the Cocktail Nation. Sunday, October 17, 2010. This beer from Dogfish is a chocolaty ale purportedly based upon Mayan archeology. To me, the taste of chocolate is more about malt than cocoa. There is a sweetness that comes from the added honey, and spice notes from ancho chili. This combination of spices and cocoa sounds overwhelming, but the execution, ah the execution of Dogfish Head. The finish is complicated and deeply textured, extravagant but somehow subtle.

A personal exploration of the Cocktail Nation. Saturday, October 24, 2009. It’s October and that means only one thing to me, Oktoberfest! My favorite style of beer comes to prominence during the autumnal climes signaling the descent into the dark heavy brews made specifically for the colder, tastier time of the year.

The Illuminating Cacophony: April 2009

Music is the cacophony that illuminates the soul. Saturday, April 11, 2009. I have decided that today is Tiki day. I came to Tiki in an odd way.

Somehow, this led me to Tiki Magazine. Check out Tiki Magazine Here. There are several bands that seem to be fav...

The Plaid Room: December 2009
http://thegsenfeldt.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Maybe a greasy cheeseburger later in the day to help oil the synapses. Anyone out there have other remedies they'd like to share?
