Santa being awesome with his demon Krampus!

I originally suggested that IRON review beers. After the hours of bawing about how we were being tough on them and our terms were unacceptable, I figured the best way to cut the tension was with a semi-joke term. It's not optional, but it's lighthearted. However, I was strongly interested in learning about beers I may not have tried, as another aspect of this term was the celebration of my RL state's vote to allow high gravity beer to be sold.
Seeing !@#$ like bay posted makes me mad. It also makes me wish we didn't write the peace terms so that we couldn't re-declare over violations of Article 10, but the amount of violations of the rest of the treaty should have already landed them back at war if we weren't so damned nice.
Too nice.

Preamble
The Guru Order and Farkistan found Raving MainyYak’s collection of old tunes and have been grooving to George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, taking a trip of psychedelic properties and discovering that we are all made of the same star dust and have a creamy nougat center.
Article 1 Sovereignty
Moksha is not easily attained. Each alliance recognizes that they must have their own marga to reach enlightenment, and that these margas can't be mixed. Margaritas, on the other hand, can be mixed, so we will have to work hard to not confuse the two. While both will work together to attain the same goals, and may help one another along the way, Farkistan and Guru Order recognize that they aren't the same person, because that'd be Sikh.
Article 2 Nonaggression and Espionage
Farkistan recognizes that Gurus can be good at this whole enlightenment thing and, while it may be tempting, promises not to copy off of their test paper. Bad karma is bad. Similarly, the Guru Order promises not to steal Farkistan's margaritas. Should either Farkistan or Guru Order bring harm to one another accidentally, they promise to immediately repay 150% of the damages caused, instead of waiting for the next round of Samsara. Patience may be a virtue, but it shouldn't take death to repay debts. Good karma is good.
Article 3 Mutual defense
While working towards Moksha is normally a peaceful exercise, sometimes the barbarians invade and can break your concentration. Farkistan and Guru Order pledge that if either alliance's villages are being pillaged that the other is bound by Dharma to assist militarily. Neither alliance is bound by Greg, they're just not into that sort of thing.
Article 4 Optional offense
While acting defensively in the face of barbarians is well and good, sometimes, in order to progress your artha, you must take the initiative. Should either Farkistan or Guru Order feel it necessary to take offensive action, they reserve the option, as members of the Kshatriya, to join one another as brothers in arms, just as Lord Buddha did in order to preserve the peace by vanquishing the evil hordes. Anyway, they're much more violent than him, so don't be surprised if you find them fighting side by side in an offensive manner, too.
Article 5 Intelligence and Aid
Politics can be confusing, particularly in a realm like Planet Bob. In order to achieve Moksha, sometimes deeper truths must be found so as not to be left in a state of confusion, and it would be inappropriate to withhold these truths from one another. Should Farkistan or Guru Order find one another under the spell of a Maya, they will release one another. In addition to this, if one alliance should find itself in a state of malnourishment due to excessive focus on seeking Moksha, the other alliance will be happy to satisfy their cravings and provide them Kama or Sutra. Just not necessarily both at the same time. Unless one or both are really drunk, and don't talk about it afterward.
Article 6 Cancellation
Sometimes true enlightenment can only be achieved through private meditation. If either signatory finds the the other's presence to be distracting them from their meditation, then it may be time to part ways and find another quiet place to ply the sitar and contemplate the nature of all creation. 72 hours should be sufficient time to pack the meager belongings and find the trail.
Signed in the spirit of peace and harmony

Whoops, didn't realize somebody else had posted this. Oh well, it deserves a second post.

As IRON’s official US 'Hood Council representative, I’m providing my “beer reviews.” But I’m not reviewing any watered-down frosty mugged toastin’ ale.
I’m reviewing 40 ozs of Malt Liquor. Yeah that’s right, 40 oz.
Now some of you may drink to have a nice time, or to help with digestion. I drink to get bent. And if you are like me, you want to get there as quick as possible. So I’m not going to compare the barley and hops. I am going to focus on how it tastes to me, good night of drinking, and the affects. And if you have had some, you know the percentage of alcohol listed doesn’t always match what it does to you. So don’t get fooled.
I invite you do go to your local store and drink along with me. But if you are going to do this, I have some rules. And I just might use a term that you don’t know. Deal with it. There are several drinking violations that I’m not having.
Violations:
1. Not pouring out some for your dead homies. If you don’t haven’t lost any homies, pouring out to the brothers on lockdown is acceptable.
2. Pouring a 40 into a glass before drinking.
3. Putting the cap back on and “saving some for later.” If you can’t finish it, don’t crack it.
4. Asking a dude for a sip of his 40. There is a 40oz. per person rule.
5. Throwing up on my carpet. Take that outside if you feel sick.
6. Putting any covering over your 40 other than a brown paper bag. No 40oz. sleeves or knitted cozies.
7. Drinking 40’s ain’t for games. You want a game play beer pong with Miller Lite.
8. Putting your 40 oz. back in the fridge to get cold. Stop nursing it and get to sippin’.
9. Never having money when it’s time to pay. Come on, you can’t get $2.50?
10. Spillin’.
Now on to the drinks:
Private Stock
Private Stock is a smooth 40 for a smooth time. Private Stock is like sitting on the curb with your boys nodding along to the radio. It’s a little too smooth for my taste; I like a little bit of a bite with mine. I don’t think I’ve ever really been bent with Private Stock, but I’ve been mellow. Loosens up the tounge well for freestylin’.
King Cobra
BOOOOOOOO! This is a Malt Liquor? Oh HELLL no! Weak, weak, weak. If you see anybody drinking this you should give them the shady eye. If you are drinking this you must not have had other 40s. You better keep this one in the bag so other people don’t see the label. King Cobra? More like an earthworm wearing a hoodie.
St. Ides
I had to stop drinking this a long time ago. It gave me the rams. It is really sweet and goes down easy…but then you find yourself getting angry for no good reason. Next morning you wake up with a massive hangover, a chipped tooth, one handcuff, and your boys telling you “Yo, we can NEVER go back there again.”
Colt 45
Billy D ain’t never lied. It DOES work every time. Colt 45 is a little dangerous because it’s not as strong as some others, so when it’s nice and cold you throw it back really quick. You should buy two cause the first one is going to go quick. On a hot summer night a bottle of Colt hits the spot.
Olde English 800
OE. The undisputed king. Nothing else even comes close. This is what a 40 should be. You might have to work yourself up to this one because you are going to fall in love. I’m sippin a 40 right now as I type this. I had to give a shout out to my brother-from-another-mother MCRABT on my bag. MMMMMmmMMMMm!!!!! OK, I have to go sit on the front steps and enjoy this.
Lata planet Bob, and the next time you are in #iron come crack one with ya boy.

1. Yuengling Tradtional Lager (http://www.yuengling.com)
Only available on the East Coast of the US. Yuengling Lager is simply among the best beers available in the US, hands down. It's a medium colored beer, but not cloudy. Has a nice taste and isn't as bitter as your other beers (Buttwiper comes to mind). They use a roasted caramel malt, and you can taste it when you drink the beer. It's pretty standard alcohol wise (4.4%), but it doesn't smack you till you've had about a dozen or so. Hands down, the best tasting beer I've had in the US. It's a shame they can't/won't distribute nationally. You'd love this beer, trust me.
2. Brooklyn Lager (http://www.brooklynbrewery.com)
Ok, you've gotten the impression I like lager style beers. Yep, I sure do. I drank this beer almost as much as I drank Yuengling when I lived in New Jersey. This is another medium colored beer, maybe a little lighter in color than Yuengling. It's also a touch more potent (5.2%). If you can't get Yuengling, and this one is available, then have one (or 5)
3. Carolina Pale Ale (http://ww.carolinabrew.com)
Here's a change of pace, an Ale. And quite the good one, I might add. I was only recently introduced to this fine beverage, and I'm glad I was. It's not nearly as heavy as Yuengling or Brooklyn Lager, but its certainly no whimp either. Puts Buttwiper to shame. More on the bitter side, but not horrible. I had it with a steak last night and I wasn't disappointed. If you're in North Carolina, and are offered, have one.
4. Boddingtons Pub Ale (no website that I could find)
A change of pace. Another ale tho. I was introduced to this beer at an Irish Pub in Durham, NC (Yeah I know, there's irish in NC???) It was opening week during St. Patty's day, and I had gotten sick of poorly poured Guinness, so I asked for this on a whim. I was pleasantly surpised. Pours similar to a Guinness, but is not the "Meal in a glass" that Guinness is. It's light, slightly bitter, and it goes down easy. I bought the can, which is similar to Guinness in a can (has that charge that carbonizes the beer when you open it) and I am semi-convinced it's better that way than on tap, at least in the US. 4.7% alcohol = typical. From what I've read (looking for links and pics) this beer, which is listed as Boddingtons Bitter in the UK, is different here than it is there. Don't know if that's good or not, but makes sense to me.
5. Eichbaum Ureich (http://www.eichbaum.de/Eichbaum/index2.php)
This beer is only available in Mannheim and Heidelberg, Germany (Baden-Württemberg - Hi Sam!). My time in the US Army had me stationed in Mannheim. When I got there, I was introduced to this Pilsner beer. I was like "ick" when I first tried it, but it grew on me tremendously. Light in color, and on the bitter side, but certainly not a heavy beer, It is definately one of the better local brews in Germany, and I've had several. In fact, a friend of mine went to Heidelberg recently, and asked what he could bring back for me - I told him Eichbaum. They make several varieties. This one is the "basic" however, I'd also highly recommend their Hefeweissen variety as well. Good stuff. They also make a variety call "Apostulator" which is ~13% alcohol - this one will smack you silly.
BONUS:
You FARKers tout Bacon. Pfft.
You've never had Taylor Ham (also known as pork roll). Puts bacon to shame. Don't get me wrong, there are days when all I want are bacon and eggs, heavy on the bacon please, however, this hunk of science project, only available, it seems, in New Jersey, is just as good. Slice it as thin/thick as you want. Fries up in no time, and isn't as messy as bacon. Goes good on a bagel or hard roll with egg and cheese(affectionately known in NJ as a heart attack on a bun), and it can stand alone with any type of eggs, pancakes (syrup makes it even more tasty), french toast, what have you.

Jalapenos in beer sounds absolutely repulsive. Whoever made that should feel bad, and you should feel bad for drinking it.
[13:45] <+Ominae[Fark]> the whole thing with the chili brew[13:45] <+Ominae[Fark]> is that alcohol opens up pores
[13:45] <+Ominae[Fark]> and makes the effect of capsaicin that much more potent

Per the terms of the IRON peace agreement, several members of IRON's gov are required to review 5 beers for me. I figured instead of posting all of the beer reviews at once, I'd just post them as they came in.
This is the first review from Grizz Goose. Very well done, and I can't wait to see the rest of the reviews. The only downside is that I'm thirsty for a good beer now, though.
Pyramid Snow Cap
A seasonal ale that is available between October and January. It is a deep mahogany colored beer with a smooth refreshing texture. The 7% Alcohol by volume beverage will fill you with holiday cheer. It goes great with your fresh killed game (great with Deer or Elk) or just to sip while watching the snowfall. Smells and tastes of sweet, medium toasted bready grains, spicy hops, a bit of brown sugar. A very drinkable beverage with a creamy, medium body. Definitely worth a try.Dundee Wheat Honey
It poured a light amber color with a finger of white head. The aroma had a sweetness to it that was a bit hard to point out. For the taste a slight honey flavor. The smell has a nice crisp wheat taste with a bit of honey, along with a tad of a hop smell also. Taste has a good balance to it. There is a crisp wheat flavor with a slight touch of honey, tasty but not overpowering. There is a good tinge of hop taste as well, but it yields to the wheat flavor. The 4.5% alcohol by volume is just right for your leisurely BBQ or picnic.Ropewalk Amber Ale
Amber in color with a sweet flavor. This brew you can taste the malt in it. This is a refreshing beer for summer days sitting by the pool or relaxing and watching the sun set. This is a beer I recommend drinking cold, once it warms up the flavor seems to change some and it is not as delectable. This is a 5.5% alcohol by volume that is a tasty treat for the evenings.Summer Honey
4.7% alcohol by volume brew flavored with Montana honey. This like the Honey Wheat beer, has a light amber color and is kissed with honey. A great beer for summer days sitting on the porch or cook’n up some grub. Crisp taste and refreshing feel. A delightful beer when you are looking for one that is not very heavy.Chili Beer
If you have never heard of it its for a couple reasons. 1 it is hard to find they do not produce much of it, they say “We drink all we can and sell the rest” 2 Could be too hot for the weak. There is a pepper floating in the bottle. Open it and you smell rancid chili. It looks like a micro brew, yellow in color and there is no head on the beer. You take a drink, its kind of sweet but then a fiery burn sets in. The taste is as you would expect from a micro brew, but with a jalapeño taste to it. A good beer to dare someone to drink but I would not buy it again nor do I recommend it, except to say you have drank it. -
I love IPA.
They join the Karma war fearful of nukes and will destroy any and all that dare exercise their right of free trade.
Bravo guys; your making The "Hegemony" look cuddly
I vaguely remember having my trades, aids, and pretty much everything threatened for "excercising their right of free ______" (fill in the blank) and not many people cried foul. It's quite legitimate for IPA to want to minimize the amount of nukes they take. I'm pretty sure supplying temp uranium trades to an enemy is much like sending them aid during war, just as spying away a nuke is just as good as shooting a nuke to most people.
/and yes, the "Fark card" is much like pulling the "race card."

MDoPDP: The Untamed Element, Oldest of Man's Mysteries, Giver of warmth, Destroyer of forests, right now *this* Treaty is a MDoPDP
The Treaty So Nice they Named it Twice. See it one time, won’t you?
The Alliances of the Grämlins and Färkistän do hereby recognize in each other a sense of camaraderie, and of a shared yearning. To quote one of the Grämlins,
“... what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your nations have: civilization. The niceties... The fine points...Diplomacy. Compassion. Standards, manners, tradition. That's what we're reaching for. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but-civilization, yes! The Geneva Convention. Chamber music. Susan Sontag.... Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the years...that's what we aspire to. We want to be civilized. I mean, you take a look at this nation here...*shoots CM* Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now bear in mind, none of us has been in Planet Bob before. There are the OWF Threads...we'll have to find how to get tickets. There's also a lot of Global Thermonuclear War, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even if we've been turned down in the past...”
As you can see, we have a lot to aspire to. Thus, in the interest of sharing common goals and a general sense of “hey, I like what you are doing/wearing, Färkistän and the Grämlins do hereby pledge to the following terms of Mutual Defense and Optional Preemptive Defense.
Article 1
Färkistän and Grämlins agree to the standard terms re: not attacking each other. By which we mean we won’t, for those who have been reading “Attacking Your Allies and Other Ways of Doing it Wrong.” We also agree to pay, in the event that one of our own members have read the book, 150% reparations to the affected nation. Who is of course not to reply in kind without giving those of us in charge a chance to really screw things up. Or resolve the situation through effective diplomacy, whichever should come first.
Article 2
Grämlins and Färkistän pledge to actively encourage and safeguard the other’s general well being, by not undertaking any acts of espionage, spying, or mad science experiments at the expense of the other. They also promise to inform the other immediately if they acquire evidence that another party has undertaken any such acts.
Article 3
Should Färkistän or the Grämlins ever be attacked, the other pledges to lend their full support, be it military, financial, or political. For all intents and purposes, an attack on one is considered an attack on the other. It would be rather brutal. Right now we are advising all our potential attackers to put everything they've got into canned food and shotguns. Also, in the event that aggressive action to presciently defend one alliance is undertaken, that alliance can invite the other to participate and assist them. This peremptory assistance is not obligatory, but it is highly encouraged. It is better to eliminate a threat in the present rather than risk having them use time machines to go and attack you in the future.
Article 3.5
Should either party enter into any preemptively defensive conflict, the defense portion is suspended for the duration of the conflict. This suspension automatically ends once the party engaged in conflict has made peace with all parties. I mean, all they'd have to do is to eat three or four children and there'd be the most appalling publicity. The Optional Preemptive Defense portion of the treaty, however, remains in effect in such situations.
Article 4
In the event that either alliance should have a radical change of outlook, or not feel comfortable in the company of the other any longer, or inadvertently be given food after update and turn into a ravening monsters bent on anarchy and murder, this treaty can be canceled after providing 48 hours notice. Once the 48 hour period is up, a 72 hour grace period will be in effect in which neither alliance can attack the other.

We would like to clarify a few points about the recent conflict between Farkistan and the so-called Ocelot Trepidation Freak Alliance (OTF). Words like "honorable" and "well fought" and "that was fun" were thrown around in the OWF recently, and frankly, it is all completely untrue and we will not stand for it. They were a bunch of baseless ransacking thieves and we were little better than cruel jackbooted thugs crushing the livelihoods of innocents. The blood of the pure, well mixed with the tears of the displaced, was imbibed in absurd quantities on both sides, and, with the conflict now ended, we go our separate ways, hopefully never to see each other again. To that effect, I present the following document:
The Uh, I think We’re Doing It Wrong Treaty
In order to further antagonize and crush the spirits of their despicable opponents on the battlefield, each other, the alliances of Farkistan and the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) hereby agree to the following terms of Mutual Defense.
Part Oh Crap We Are Already Going About The Wrong Way
Neither Farkistan nor the Orangutan Trebuchet Foremen (OTF) will attack the other or engage in any other malicious activity such as spying or espionage. Any nation found in violation of this will pay 150% reparations to the affected nation(s). Said affected nation will refrain from attacks until the respective governments have had a chance to try their hands at diplomacy.
Part Shoot, Bollixed This One Too
The alliances of the Omniscient Timberwolves of France (OTF) and Farkistan will, as stated, refrain from engaging in acts of espionage against each other. In addition, they pledge that, if they should be made aware of such a threat from a third party, they will notify the government of the other alliance immediately.
Part *Facepalm* This Just Isn’t Our Day
In the event that either Farkistan or the Oscillating Titanium Fibres (OTF), come under attack the other will immediately come the assistance of the other, providing military, financial, or political support as needed. For all intents and purposes, declaring war on the one is the same as declaring war on the other.
Part Well, At This Point, What Else Can Go Wrong?
Should the Oriental Tree-men for Freedom (OTF) or Farkistan ever deem it necessary to terminate this relationship, this treaty can be canceled with 48 hours notice. Once the 48 hours is up, the treaty is canceled, and a 72 hour grace period is in effect during which neither party may attack the other.
Part Maybe It Isn’t Too Late To Fix This
This treaty does not take effect until the state of open conflict between the alliances of Farkistan and the Open Trade Federation (OTF) has come to an end. Nevermind.

I stand here today, as the last remaining government member bearing the GOONS flag. Two months ago the rest of the leadership abadoned the alliance, giving up all hope of peace and rebuilding. They were correct, GOONS will never be able to rebuild, at least as long as corrupt and dishonorable alliances like the GGA remain.
For the last 11 months I have remained in peacemode, biding my time, and appealing my Perma ZI. A perma ZI for what you ask? Nuking a member of GGA. Nukes that I have never even owned. Ive asked for proof on numerous occations and come up with nothing each time. Ive asked for help, but to no avail.
So here I stand, a peacemode veteran, longtime GOON, and friend of all who are friends of me. I stand here today beside people whom Ive never heard of, people Ive never met or even talked to. Why? Because what they are fighting for is the right to exist, the right to be what they want to be, and the right to freedom from oppression at the hands of an alliance, an alliance whos strength comse not from themselves, but from those theyve duped into being thier friends.
Whether this war end in victory or defeat, I will know, that I did everything I could do to assist those that are honorable and right in thier battle for the greater good.
Thus, the GOONS ride again, maybe for the last time.
This all sounds very familiar. Something about fighting for the right to exist or something... very familiar.

Oh, and because the validity of the logs I posted have been called into question by BLEU:
The name is secured on Coldfront and is also Op'd in #GR. So I doubt it was an imposter.
Oh, and I know several people that got those logs and screenshots from him on the GR forums, which he asked people to register for to receive them.
-
The worst part is, that no matter how many times I or others, even thier allies ask for proof they cannot produce it, yet they continue to hold me accountable for something I didnt do.
There's hope yet sir:

#god public channel, by the way.
Quoted the wrong person at the top of the post. Oops. Oh well, you all get the picture.

We've been working on this for a while. I did the move, but I couldn't have done it without help from some people.
I really, really, really want to thank DragonGem for everything she has done. She's went way above and beyond what she had to do, and without her help this whole move would have been a disaster. She has tirelessly worked on masking, permissions, and eliminating bugs for the past few days.
I'd also like to thank bros from Mushroom Kingdom for helping me with the conversion and putting up with my endless stream of questions. Seriously, if anyone else is considering moving off of Invisionfree, hit this man up. Just don't forget to slip some CN monies his way.
Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the new forums. If you have any issues with masking or find any bugs just let me know.

Absolutely awesome. Great job guys.

Farkistan: Your story has become tiresome.
Offstage Voice: Hey NoV, when are you going to be done? I hear most of Planet Bob is blowing you up
NoV: Hey, just a minute guys. Farkistan, do you want to come along with us? We rented a LeBaron.
Farkistan: Excuse me NoV, but you have disturbed me almost to the point of insanity. There, I am insane now. NoV, you were the greatest altar of emptiness, but Farkistan has declared it's support for NATO and FOK in the current war against you. And now I watch you drink beer from a hat.
NoV: That's easy for you to say Farkistan, you grew up with this stuff.
Farkistan: I would never drink from headgear.
NoV: Ohh, I don't feel so good...
Farkistan: Idiot.
NoV: I'm sorry, its just all the cruise missiles, and then this pie..
Farkistan: You may not touch my monkey. [in German]. You may not touch my monkey!
NoV: I'm going to be ZI'd.
Farkistan: Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance. That's all the time we have, until next time, auf Wiedersehen!
NoV: Farkistan, we're meeting some girls, we're meeting some girls later, come on Farkistan!

We expect audience participation on this.
The Timewarp TreatyThey're pickin' up the prisoners and puttin'
em in the pen
And all we want to do is dance, dance
Farkers been Fok-Friends since I don't know when
And all we want to do is dance
That said, the situation is not always appropriate for dancing. Sometimes, you have to dance-fight. Therefore, this treaty serves as recognition of both Farkistan's and FOK's commitment to dance to the other's rescue in times of war, and to further reaffirm their general but completely platonic love for each other.
Jump to the Left
Farkistan and FOK have always been friends. And by always, we don't mean, SINCE THE DAWN OF CREATION, WHEN TIME BECAME TIME. We mean, “since we got to know each other.†With that in mind, we agree to the standard terms of nonaggression, with the standard terms of 150% reps for those that don't pay enough attention to what they are doing. As per usual, those that insist on trying to drive us apart will be expelled, and ice cream will likely be shared in a cathartic moment of schmaltz.
Step to the Right
Farkistan and FOK likewise continue to promise aid and intelligence when requested, if available. They also agree not to collect intelligence FROM the other for malicious purposes, nor engage in any other kind of sneakiness, like spies or peepholes in lockers rooms and whatnot. If one should hear of such a thing happening to the other, the shall inform the victim immediately.
Put Your Hands On Your Hips
In the event that Farkistan or FOK ever fall under attack, the other pledges to lend their full support, be it military, financial, or underwire. For all intents and purposes, an attack on one is considered an attack on the other. We roll tight like that. Also, either alliance may request the assistance of the other in an Aggressive war, and while said support is not obligatory, it is highly encouraged. Because there are just some dance-fight moves you can't do by yourself.
Bring Your Knees In Tight
In the event that either alliance should feel that they need more space, or that the spark has gone out of the relationship, this treaty can be canceled with 48 hours notice, after which a 72 hour grace period is in effect where neither alliance may attack the other, and doesn't want to see them, or hear their name, and why does everything remind me of them!
After which time, it is permissible to be reminded that there are other fish in the sea.

It's been a pleasure working with IPA and of course, if you need anything just ask! Except for your room and bed back. I've already turned it into a hot stripper room.
Hot stripper room? When did my wife get her own room?
Anyways, it's been awesome working with IPA, and I'm anxious to see what developments come from that alliance in the future.
this annoucement soo much!

Brewed and bottled in my friends kitchen, and fremented in his spare shower, Ag-brew is finally here. A Belgian treple style beer, it is dark and creamy in taste with a slightly bitter aftertaste. A heavier beer, its not the type of beer to slam, but to enjoy over a period of time. It has an estimated 8% alcohol content, so enough of these and you'll have a fun night. Overall, I would have to rate this a solid 7/10. I've had better beers, but this is one of the better brews I have had. Of course, I am a bit biased.

This, sir, is the best beer review ever. As a fellow beer brewer and a fan of Belgian treples I praise your efforts. We just finished a steam beer and we're about to brew a second batch. If you're into baking I recommend taking your spent grains and making spent grain bread to go with your beer. Or having a beer review party.
I would like to personally, on behalf of Fark, not just thank Felix for this piece of awesomeness, but Nevermore for being good sports about this. Farkistan does not ask for beer reviews to be difficult. We do it out of a genuine interest in beer, hoping we can expand someone's taste, and as a general act of good will. Plus we hope to find another new favorite beer.
Nevermore was an excellent opponent on the battlefield and an excellent sport about the beer reviews. We strongly wish there were more alliances like this on Planet Bob. Nevermore, it has been a pleasure, and I would be proud to share a beer at the pub with you and swap a few stories.
