Pours jet black with foamy head. Head persists and leaves pockets of lacing. Smells of roasted malt and cocoa powder. Taste is dark chocolate, roasted malt, and abundant hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium carbonation, somewhat creamy, and silky-smooth with lingering bitterness. 9.5% abv is well-hidden. This is everything one would want in a RIS. Fantastic.

 

Another one of these.

 

Great pic, Marc! Cheers

 

I spent my whole adulthood watching the markets up and downs last 25 years . Two years ago i sold it all but 20% of my holdings the rest i liquified to a Money Market IRA it has performed at 5% for that two year period which is a nice return. It never loses principle and has grown of which i pay no taxes on for now. , i have the monthly interest ACH to my checking that i have to pay taxes on.

 

Cheers!!

 

Over the last decade I have been rebalancing my investments between equities and other but I still had 40% in equities. In retrospect at my age (73 going on 100) I should not be that heavily invested in equities. I am lucky in some respect that I do not have to sell equities right now but the RMD factor requires me to do so by 12/31/25.

 

Bell's Big Hearted for the closer....

 

Cheers!
