Least not the best thought is wrought with doubt

Clap clap clap...close your eyes.
The synthesizer cannot grasp the proclamations within your soft subtle whimpers.
Pause....and for a second can you see it? Look.....
Bright. Serious. Complex. Full of shit. Spent it's last penny 
My understanding is that I should tell you the high and lows of this malty sip.
First step...open...let The Lord of light cast his decomposition on the hot fermentation that has rested in silence for the revival
Step two...crystal stem. Slice systematically to specifications for optimal perfection. Drip...drip...down the glass driving feature come the presentation.
Step three...my own lips always have enjoyed the sound notes and cacophony of mad people. This one two speaks to my unused nature. Tones of heavy malts as well as a boozy spice to remind you that pirates still exist. The flavor is not fireworks and drunk "crunkles", but more balanced. 
Step four...11 percent. Crashing on my front door has shook my house. Why do the giants come on Wednesdays although they know it sleep in. Like the sound of trees falling in the woods the crash through. Spring air flows through the hallways while dust flecks glitter through my bedroom window. I ask "what's going on?". Step in the moment sir...the hardest part of waking up, is the actuality that you were here the whole time. 

Mine is Bigger Than Yours:To Øl:Barleywine

Raspberry milled phonographically tendrils red
   sutures sweet as pieces of heart were heat an answer in bed
this Barleywine is willing to be beast
    & crawl from corners in green crab jilted
weather steps from past in glacial taken places retaken

     cutting Gaston upon all jugular points
sums of three hours twinned
   oil       circle             pin      
this brew takes my hands in twos to refresh
             jesters how big is big and then breaks
orange candy over front tongue is thyme is Egret culling minnow to death in individual hop calling two parents communication spent over phone calls honey bee

          14% to memorize bunk posts
glass walls   moths drawn in
   2am porcelain spider or without mesmerized grass disciple
  to tell in sentences of Queen Anne's Lace respite
crushed thumbs need swan neck glasses to retreat
                                                                             
     this is no gull making nonsense & WHITE  upon spilled glacial remnant

shoes have been burned and saved here
this beer is consumed
in return there is  crown of beach
rose cut with polyped shore
    slow rain    thrown rocks    mulled morning restart

Buzzard's Bay Brewing: Horseneck Goldenipa




my flesh pours liquid into a cup 
privileged as such 
a hole in the eye of hop electorate
hints of violin 
raw tongue macerating 
my wife sunk in epsom salts 
heady malts in pale recipe nonsense 
flesh in flays 
    the horse neck bows  green fiddle heads
two star outlaw tucks 
i n gr in fo r next night terror
   measured cufflinks never owned turnstile
curse in chain link 
  nonsense 

this beer is solid 3.99 
      yellowing its bowed head 
scents of spinster leaf & golden stream
make the well dry 
   where there is no tree to hide
stories of dirt 
 piles breathed in 
unsure welcomes down grade into yarrow 
the flesh of Main street will curse suture 
eyes & strawberries 
this beer is muggles splayed 
monday morning
waiting for ammonia 

a snapped in tongue

Homeless Ale #9 or Whakapapa

Ok
friends fans financiers felons and fidgetuers



airs of malt upon pour sublte easily missed florals
as a humming bird ---- did it pass me or a dragonfly--
scrubbing images of scents
not bold like Vincent .....soft as Henri
head flash false  and quickly vanish...
premature
not 2 wks in bottle
clean bit foggy amber beep beep honey
wingless eyeless clouds less rain
good body (beach sight) weight
(as the song sings not too skinny and not to fat)
finishes with hops in retrograde to malt
yum

Nameless No.7 From Main Street Brewery

airs some bananas
when first bottled i thought egad schlitz
1.5 wks into maturity
full body wheat airs
malt of barley swells around the mouth
even balance no one falls off this beam
cloudy pours predict wheat yeast taste
not one to age yet
a month of sundays wont be too long
slight hop finishes the draught
hop bitterness lingers


served very cold and most flavor will be lost
served around 40 degrees Fahrenheit flavors and aromas will be set to utmost
appreciate this soon
foods.....
beer is sustenance, solids are additional treats from gods
meats and salads welcome all palates.

Narragansett Town Beach Imperial India Pale Ale

The title is a mouthful and so is the first sip.
Crushed up hops and Citrus flavors wave over the tongue.
Like standing in waist high water and having a 6 foot wave sweep over ya.
Stunned and a bit bewildered yet excited to catch the net wave/taste.
More hops and citrus.....airs of tree grove lemon......fresh fresh
Wonderful beer if you are into citrus front and hops lingering.
Served well chilled a perfect beach day beer.....also one to relax with after
wrestling a lawn mover across the greenery.....or a gate opener when meeting new neighbors...
Hi, have a 'gansett?


Cheers

catching up... Stone EPIC 12.12.12

some ties and weeks go by wicked fast
like lightening in a sunset sky
you see it but you're not sure
imagine the sky forked light
blue white       streak earthward
just barely beyond elm st hill

trucks and cars wipers slash water and wind
shields puddles streets just nigh flooded
ambulances crush out from brick abodes
skateboarders push downhill
hydro-plane slide into 1/2 broke
/construct shelter
soaking wet laugh slough
into/upon corner store
ta cokes and cookies
idle away sun rainbow shower
it's over       let's go



Epic 12.12.12
beer with spice
I have been tasting this beer for a while, since I first saw it on the shelves of local beer and ale purveyors.
I recall not welcoming this item as much as the previous Epics.
But...............
Tonight...Airs Spice right off....Oh God is this another pumpkin/winter/Christmas thing?
Nope ...the spice air gives out to a mouthful of flavor cinnamon clove spruce (?evergreen?) warmth.
There is a nice warm mouth feel that breeds in after the first sip. The slow cheek warming alcohol feel is welcome after the spices. (I almost expect an apple flavor...and then it would be my mother-in-law's apple pie.....which is the best apple pie i have EVER tasted....but that is a different review)
The spice lingers but never, ever becomes a stab at dessert.
The finish is fine and sharp and begs a second, third, etc sip.
The Christmas thing hides nearby, yet I sense the developing maturity of a spicy barleywine that will surprise in years to come.
I am off tomorrow to try and score a couple more bottles before they disappear.
