the beers of FUTENMA: Hacker-Pschorr Animator unfiltered doppelbock

I got this beer while on a battle sights tour a couple of weeks ago. We were stopped at camp Hansen for lunch, I had finished and decided to go browse the local seven day. Along with the usual beer fare common to PX's on Okinawa, I found four bottles of Hacker Animator. I realized these were probably the only ones left, so I bought two and brought them back to Futenma. This is one of Hacker-Pschorr's limited edition beers. And as the best before date is 06/15, I can only assume production has stopped. I hope this beer has not spoiled, that would be a travesty.

The bottle is the same as the other Hackers I've reviewed, aside from it having a red label and a picture of two rams butting heads. I'll be pouring it into one of my Hacker-Pschorr mugs, unfrosted. It makes a nice "pop" sound when opened. It has a deep, malty, somewhat barley nose from the bottle. The beer forms a frothy, creamy head. Nose from the mug is the same as from the bottle. Color is a reddish brown, it's very lively inside, enough to maintain a small head without an agitator. On first sip, raisins, raisins with an alcohol finish. This almost has more of a raisin flavor than Rosey Nosey. You would expect a beer with as high an alcohol content as this one (8.1%) to have more of a bite to it, but it's almost completely alkaline. This beer is full bodied to the point of being just a little bit syrupy, and it's flavor is a little overpowering.

I am so exited for the release of Fallout 4! I have been waiting for this game for years, and in two days I can finally play it! I've already gotten the game pre-downloaded, now I just have to wait for the 10th for it to be unlocked. I would like to take a moment and thank God for his gift to gamer kind: Steam. Steam made it so that it was no longer necessary to go to a physical store and purchase a game or go online to find a physical copy. You just buy it and download it, and when you're done with one, you can delete the local content and steam will still have it on you're profile that you own the game, so you can download it again if you ever wanted to revisit it. You can even upload you're save files and play you're saved game on another computer. Anyways, back to Fallout 4. The graphics are going to be beautiful, but graphics aren't a big selling point for me (most of the games I play a 8-bit). This game is bigger and has more content then any other single player game out there today, any other developer would be a fool to try to release anything within a month of this game coming out. It's an RPG, it's a shooter, and now with the new feature of being able to create and design settlements, it's a building game. Not to mention the music is going to be great! I'm certainly biased in that I'm a big fan of 50's and 60's music. When this game comes out, don't be surprised if you don't see or hear from me for a week or so.

Well, that's it. It's a good beer, don't get me wrong. But it's a little overpowering, in more ways than one. This ones just not for me.
