The College Football Bowl Games start today. Looking at the schedule for this year it is
not going to be easy to pick some of these games. I am up in the air on about 15 games but, I
did make my picks. Here are today’s
games:
Washington State 4 pts over Colorado
USC 6 pts over Fresno State
Buffalo 1 over San Diego State
Tulane vs La.-Lafayette no line
I enjoyed a Narwhal the other night and it is one dark and roasty
stout.
Appearance: black as midnight with a two finger tan head
with an aggressive pour – the other night I did not get much head – on top of the
stout; some lacing left on the glass
Aroma: very deep and dark roasted malts and grains; dark
chocolate; smells thick
Flavors/Mouthfeel: 99% dark chocolate like bitterness; heavy
roasted coffee beans; thick roasted malts; on the bottle it says, ‘Inspired by
the mysterious creature that dwells in the deepest Arctic seas,’ – well, I
would say that accomplished what they wanted; it is thick, heavy, it is strong;
low carbonation – just a little fizzy feel; syrupy feel on the back along with
some smoky charred oak and peppery alcohol spice; long lingering burnt notes; nice
alcohol warmth and not boozy; full bodied
To the Point: looking for a bold and strong Imperial Stout –
well, this is it; a true sipper; if you like Imperial Stouts you need to pick
this one up
Thinking about picks – here are my picks for today’s College
Football games
Washington State 4 pts over Colorado = I am going with
Washington State to cover
USC 6 pts over Fresno State = I am taking Fresno State and
the 6 pts
Buffalo 1 over San Diego State = Buffalo covering the point
Tulane vs La.-Lafayette no line = La.Lafayette wins
