It doesn't matter how bad (or good) this ale turns out to be, I had to buy a bottle or two just on principle.

Where in the world did that come from?

[geekchick]

World Market. =)

But in the more general sense, it comes from Black Sheep Brewery.

If it's any good, I want some.

If it's mediocre, but dark, I still want some (I can turn it back into the bread from whence it came).

Haven't cracked it open yet, although I may do that once I finish making up a grocery list and retire to the hammock out back. I'll let you know, but be warned that I don't have the world's most discriminating palate when it comes to beer.

If it's any good (or suitable for breadmaking), I'll put some aside for you for the next time you're out here. =)

Here's the brewery's description, by the way.

Eh. I tried some last year with akienm... okay, but I was indifferent to it myself...

Do you think it would make good bread? That is, does it have some smoky notes, or a hint of sweetness?

An excess of hops can be used in things like rosemary, or dill, breads.

As I recall, it had some sweetness, not much hoppiness if any. Some unprocessed sugars, there was a slightly harsh aftertaste... not smoky as I recall. Actually, IMO it was an so-so dark English-style ale that might be better as bread than for sipping.

You see that around here.. I've been meaning to get a bottle and see how it is.

blueinva brought that to a Game Day a while back; it was good, but not excellent, as I recall.
