Things I'm Not Allowed to do In Beika

Dressing up as the Grim Reaper and claiming to be Shinichi's cousin is only funny once.

Despite all appearances to the contrary, Akai is not a zombie or a ghost, and I am not allowed to point at him and whisper "I see dead people."

I will not attempt to send notes to new Organization members telling them that they must perform a dramatic reenactment of their favorite childhood fairy tales, nor will I claim that the note was from Gin.

I will not teach the Detective Boys Morse Code so they can signal rude words.

I will not start a betting pool on which kitchen appliance Akai will break the next time he tries to cook.

Despite your personal beliefs, Rei would not be happier if he was given a Furby.

You are not Rei’s personal anger management counselor.

When Conan pulls his Sleeping Kogoro act, do not take the opportunity to draw on Kogoro's face with a permanent marker.

I will not ask Akai if he can show me how to grow my own tobacco plants.

I will not sneak into Rei’s apartment at three in the morning, nor will I use Conan's voice-changing bowtie to chant ominous-sounding gibberish when he's trying to sleep.

Yelling "VIBE CHECK" when I roundhouse kick someone was only funny the first time.

I will not start humming creepy music whenever Rei enters the room.

Do not attempt to convince Akai to follow cooking instructions in reverse order "for science".

I will not wake the Kudo household up by yelling "IT'S GIN, RUN!" at six in the morning.

I will not convince everyone to refer to Rei’s car as the Batmobile.

I will not prank call Rum and tell him that I need to talk to him about his car's extended warranty.

Haibara is not the Wicked Witch of the West.

Do not attempt to break up a fight between Akai and Rei by loudly asking why they never told anyone about their affair. It will not make things better.

I will not give Hattori and Shinichi matching "I'm with stupid" t-shirts.

I will not suggest that the PSB and the FBI refer to themselves as the "Black Organization are Suckers Group", nor will I claim that it would be a great gesture of political allyship.

I will not stick a sign on Rei’s back that says "Single and Ready to Mingle."

I will not teach Haro to hide Rei’s shoes.

I will not tell Rei that he needs to go to his happy place.

Rye, Bourbon, and Scotch were the Whiskey Trio, not The Three Stooges.

I will stop referring to Gin and Vodka as Thing One and Thing Two.

Asking "So which one of them fails the vibe check?" is not an appropriate way to identify a murder suspect.

Ran is dangerous enough as she is and I will not provide her with a sword.

I will not claim to be Anokata's long-lost child and that I am continuing his work.

You are not to sneak a baby Tsushima leopard cat into a PSB meeting, nor are you allowed to claim that it's Bring Your Pet to Work Day.

Do not ask Rei if you can drive his car or tell him he just left skid marks on a couple of pedestrians.

I will not glue googly eyes to the bottom of Professor Agasa's mug.

Do not ask for a complimentary beer when questioned by the police.

Never, under any circumstances, attempt to get Akai and Rei under the mistletoe together.

I will not perform a seance at three in the morning in the Kudo household, and when I inevitably wake Akai up, I will not loudly exclaim that the ritual was a success.

Getting Bourbon's code name wrong on purpose is still rude even if he's the only one not laughing.

Akai and his mother do not “just need to hug it out” and I am to stop claiming that they do.

I will not tell Conan that the reason he survived the APTX 4869 is because he’s immortal, nor will I attempt to prove this theory.

There is no such thing as the “Ex-Black Organization Member Support Group” and I am not its founder.

Lawblr Themed Beers

So talking about Benevolent Overlord got me thinking about beers that give me Lawblr vibes. Also, I’m avoiding case write ups. Here is my list. These were chosen based on name/description. I hope y’all find these as entertaining as I did. Enjoy. PLEASE tell me what y’all are drinking in these terrible times slash what beers give you lawblr vibes.

ABANDON ALL HOPE - 13.9% Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

Artwork by R. Land

Abandon All Hope is an overwhelming bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. Rich notes of chocolate and oak on a pillowy blanket of vanilla come from a year spent in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Heaven Hill 10 year, and Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select barrels and aging on fresh vanilla beans. At once overpowering you and lulling you to dreams of a distant past you can’t quite remember in a world teeming with noise and flesh, abandon all hope ye who enter here. Orpheus Brewing

YE WHO ENTER HERE RESERVE - 12.5% Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

Artwork by R. Land

Menacing in stature, Ye Who Enter Here is aged for 30 months in a single Heaven Hill bourbon barrel with Madagascar vanilla beans, Narino and Ixlama coffee beans, ghost peppers, and guajillo and Puya chiles. At once overpowering you and lulling you to dreams of a distant past you can’t quite remember in a world teeming with noise and flesh, abandon all hope ye who enter here. Orpheus Brewing

THE 12TH LABOR - 13.9% Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

Artwork by David Hale

Menacing in stature, The 12th Labor is a huge Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Stout with intensely layered flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, and wood. You’ll be lulled to dreams of a distant past you can’t quite remember in a world teeming with noise and flesh. With each sip, The 12th Labor is a struggle at the edge of darkness. Orpheus Brewing

Benevolent Overlord - 12.2% Coffee Hazelnut Imperial Stout

We welcome our Benevolent Overlord with this double mash American Imperial Stout. Loaded with coffee and hazelnuts, complemented by flavors of milk chocolate and vanilla. At 12.2% ABV, this boozy beer will impress the most discerning rulers. Monday Night Brewing

PAIRINGS - Pizza, pork shoulder, crème brûlée

Last Will & Testament - 12% Bourbon Barrel Aged English Old Ale

Last Will And Testament is a straightforward, adjunct-free English old ale that has been aging away in bourbon barrels for fourteen months. With Maris Otter as a backbone and plenty of dark malts, this boozy 12% ABV ale has notes of caramel, raisin, and tobacco. This unapologetic liquid pulls delightful notes of vanilla and oak from the barrels, combined with the slow-sipping qualities of a fine port. Monday Night Brewing

PAIRINGS - Roast beef, pumpkin pie, double Gloucester cheese

Tears Of My Enemies - 9.3% Aged Imperial Milk Stout

There is nothing more sumptuous than the misfortune of your enemies. That dark, smoky taste of revenge takes over as it hits your lips, marching upon your tongue like an army towards certain victory. In addition to the smoke and locally-roasted Batdorf & Bronson coffee on the nose. This small batch beer was released in four different versions (one not pictured). 1) aged in rum barrels; 2) aged in brandy barrels; 3) aged in bourbon barrels; and 4) aged for several months in maple cognac barrels. This beer is roasty, chocolately, and, like the tears of your enemies, the most delicious thing you’ve ever tasted. Monday Night Brewing

PAIRINGS - Chocolate, porterhouse steaks, victory

Situational Ethics - 13.8% Aged Imperial Stout

The Situational Ethics series comes to an end this year with three dessert-inspired imperial stouts. One variant is our take on s’mores. Maple scotch barrels bring in smoky flavor while Ghirardelli milk chocolate, Ugandan and Madagascar vanilla beans, graham crackers, marshmallows, cinnamon and coffee transforms this stout into your favorite gooey, campfire treat. One is a tribute to Rocky Road ice cream—melding rye barrels, toasted macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and almonds, Madagascar vanilla beans, and Ghirardelli milk chocolate to mimic the chocolatey nuttiness of this classic ice cream. And the third bottle is an ode to vanilla affogato. With a combination of toasted coconut, Batdorf & Bronson coffee, espresso beans, and Ugandan vanilla beans, we’re able to recreate the beautiful contrast of bold espresso and sweet vanilla ice cream. Best enjoyed on its own or poured over coconut ice cream. Monday Night Brewing

PAIRINGS - Friends, family and great conversation

Note: all of these are local (to me). When the pandemic hit I made the conscious decision to start buying my beer at the breweries around me since that way they got 100% of my monies. Also, the breweries here did legit drive throughs. I order and pay online and drive to the brewery. I show the masked person at the tent my confirmation number, they load my trunk and I drive away. It’s awesome and socially distant.

Arcana Craves Strawberries Reviews!

Arcana Craves’ Strawberries Crave Collection has been a favorite of mine since its debut. The collection is currently available again on the Arcana Craves site (link at the bottom of this post). Arcana’s strawberry note works best for my skin chemistry of all of the perfume houses--it tends to be more on the realistic side and less plasticky than others that I have tried, although I know that strawberry is one of those notes that varies wildly. The four blends that I’m reviewing are my very favorites of the Strawberries Crave line (though there are a few others that are on my list to try!), and are truthfully up there among my favorites in my entire collection. <3

Strawberries Crave Helios

Scent description: Strawberry jam with juicy blackberries, lemonade, limeade, and pure white amber.

In the bottle, this smells like the freshest, tartest, true lemonade with a liberal dousing of sugar. On skin it is the same! It’s a fresh-squeezed lemonade with a squeeze of lime and sticky sweet strawberry jam on the rim. This is a mouth-watering blend, and a must have in my collection as lemonade is one of my favorite things in life. It’s a great citrus scent--happy and uplifting. It retains its juicy tartness throughout wear and is an excellent blend for summer.

Strawberries Crave Lucy

Scent description: Arcana Wildcraft's Surfers on Acid blend (sweet coconut milk, pineapple, and absinthe) with pink strawberry.

The absinthe is in this blend nearly scared me off, but I’m glad that I tried it anyhow, because it’s one of my favorite scents. This is an excellent pina colada blend that has me dreaming of lounging on a warm beach in the summertime. The pineapple smells very realistic, and the coconut milk is sweet, creamy, and gentle--not overbearing. I don’t specifically smell the strawberry, but I think that it is pepping up the tart fruitiness of the pineapple. I smell a hint of something herbal and green, which must be the absinthe. It’s like a sprig of mint bobbing gently in the pina colada.

Strawberries Crave Summer

Scent description: Tropical blossoms of tiare, tuberose petals, star jasmine, and neroli over melty pistachio and strawberry sherbets.

It’s no secret that I love a good tropical floral blend, and this is one of the prettiest ones out there! This blend is true to its beautifully written description--sweet, waxy tropical petals (realistic and dreamy, not screechy or high-pitched at all) float on a delicious pistachio sherbet with a hint of ripe, red strawberries. This is one of my very favorite blends that is perfect for any occasion--it’s a pretty and effortless floral scent, made unique with the addition of the pistachio and strawberry.

Strawberries Crave Waterfalls

Scent description: Rain, woodland strawberries, fresh water, petitgrain, osmanthus, clover, and smooth amber.

This blend is another stunner! Arcana’s legendary rain and water notes shine here--warm, fresh, beautiful, and atmospheric. The strawberries are of the small and flavorful variety. The petitgrain and clover add a touch of sharp greenness that enhances the atmospheric nature of this blend. It’s sweet and natural--like eating small, pink-red strawberries by a waterfall deep in the woods. So gorgeous.

Strawberries Crave Rococo

Scent description: Tiny strawberries with Madagascar vanilla, Tahitian vanilla, apricot, white musk, and skin musk.

Strawberries Crave Rococo is a pile of tiny, glossy pink strawberries on a fluffy vanilla cake in a dressing room in Versailles. The skin musk is glowing and clean, and with time fades into the background, leaving behind a glowing warmth. This is a wonderful blend that would be equally fitting at a fancy party or picnic outdoors. It's one of my favorites from this collection!

Strawberries Crave Vanilla

Scent description: Strawberries ripened on the vine, Tahitian vanilla bean, the warmth of the sun, and a hint of sugared patchouli.

Oh--this is a lovely ripened strawberry patch in the sun! Green, peppery, sun-warmed vines (I think the warm patchouli is giving the sunny aura!) and squishy, ripe, red strawberries! This is an expertly blended scent that conjures a distinct image of strawberry patch in the summer.

Strawberries Crave Nyx

Scent description: Drunken honey, lavender-laced mallow, soft amber, night musk, and hints of strawberry and nectarine.

This is lovely! Lovely, light honey marshmallows dotted with fragrant lavender buds, slices of firm nectarine, and just a weee fruity hint of strawberry. At first this actually reminds me a bit of Fille de Joie, but with more honey. This is soporific and soothing--I love it!

Strawberries Crave Indulgence

Scent description: French vanilla, white amber, sugared vanilla beans, caramel, lady finger cookies, opium, strawberry creme, and the faintest whiff of tobacco.

Om nom nom. This one smells like sweet caramels and strawberry liqueur on fluffy angel food cake! I think the tobacco (which is ultra light--like the smooth, sweet blond style) is giving the air of "liqueur" here. This truly is indulgent--sugary and rich and fancy! This has a Victorian gourmand feel.

Strawberries Crave Kink

Scent description: Worn leather, black coconut, black musk, skin musk, and wild strawberry.

Oh wow--I like this one a whole lot more than I thought I would! Smooth, soft leather, sweet honeyed coconut, and hints of pink strawberry make up this blend. I love Julia's coconut blends, and this one is a winner! It's a goth coconut delight. I can tell that there's some black musk here lending some dark moodiness, but it's not overwhelming and sharp (as it can usually be for me). Honestly, this is a surprisingly delightful blend, and fans of leather and coconut should give it a try!

Strawberries Crave Baby Goats

Scent description: A frisky, frolicsome mix of bright red raspberries and juicy pink strawberries is sprinkled with sparkling cane sugar crystals and drizzled in vanilla-infused rum. In the background, hints of sweet tuberose petals are entwined in an abundance of soft, musky goat fur.

Ripe, jammy strawberries and raspberries and sweet, tropical tuberose on a cuddly warm background of a gentle fur. It's like a happy day in the sun. With wear the snuggly fur becomes more prominent. I prefer this stage of wear because it's more soothing and snuggly.

Strawberries Crave Botanicus

Scent description: Fresh strawberry, guava, galbanum, basil, green hemp, bayberry, and ruby grapefruit.

In the bottle, I was nearly overwhelmed by the strong scent of basil, but on skin this is a botanical delight! The basil is green and peppery like sun-warmed vines, and blends beautifully with the grapefruit to create a fresh and zesty blend. With time, I get some jammy strawberry-guava, it's sweet and tart and pink and lovely. This is a gorgeous subtopical garden, and I would love to have it in beverage form!

Strawberries Crave Sunlit Paths

Scent description: The happy scent of day-hiking through the dappled sunlight of a coniferous thicket of trees. Sugary red strawberries with Arcana Wildcraft's Her Forest (layers of velvety forest mosses and soft green lichens with wild-harvested Northern fir tips, Bourbon vetiver, black oudh, and a hint of forest floor).

This scent is reviewed in the Daydream Collection post, but I'm including here as well! Her Forest (from the Deer Goddess collection) is a complex, beautiful, and realistic calming forest scent. Combining this scent with strawberry was a stroke of genius--they blend so incredibly harmoniously. This fragrance is much more than strawberry + Her Forest--it has become a magnificent fragrance of its own. This is a happier, more carefree version of the solemn and peaceful Her Forest. It truly does smell sunlit--like walking along a well-worn sun-dappled path in a beautiful old deciduous forest, fingers stained and juicy from perfect, ripe strawberries. Strawberries Crave Sunlit Paths is bottled happiness.

Note

I concede, I'm somewhat limited to provide further challenges taking into account my one-muse territory but I still have a few aces up my sleeve. What if I were to dare you with the entity the two of us usually refer to as ✨Darkest Tristan? What of the peculiar figure that is ✨ Phantom Tristan? And, of course, no trial would be complete without a visit to ✨ H&P Tristan (Before or after reaching godhood)

Send me a ✨(or 'sparkle' if you can't see it) and I will answer with what I think your muse would wear as a fragrance! Multimuses, please specify which muse! @lordofthestrix

Darkest Tristan is probably Terror & Magnificence by BeauFort London and I love how the name suits it SO well. Its an amber, warm spicy, leather and woody scent. Birch Tar, Black Pepper and Saffron for opening notes sound absolutely perfect which leads into the smokey Incense, Tobacco, and Papyrus giving ancient diety presence before drying down into Labdanum, Myrhh, Vetiver and Benzoin to tie it all together. This is what I imagine he wears or smells like as it evokes omniscient dark power.

Phantom Tristan wears Black Phantom By Kilian but don't think I slacked off because of the name because I do think (any) Tristan might like some Kilian fragrances (perhaps more on others) but this one bear with me is sweeter. But consider he choses this one because its a but more comforting considering his charge that he interacts with. Its an amber vanilla fragrance with rum, coffee, caramel, dark chocolate (so more bitter than sweet), bittersweet almond, sandalwood and some brightening heliotrope. There is an intentionality to this fragrance so that's how I framed it. Its meant to entice and comfort and draw attention.

Hades Tristan was by far the EASIEST to figure out. Pre-godhood its Jazz Club by Maison Margiela. It smells exactly like a Jazz club with an emphasis on the leather you'd imagine at academic libraries with a boozy rum but sweet (vanilla bean) chasing scent that is intoxicating as it melds into the incense-like styrax. I should know as this is my current signature scent and love of my life. I can absolutely see academic driven Tristan slaving the night away as this scent lingers behind him. Whenever I smell or wear this scent I always think of 'Achilles Come Down' by Gang of Youths which is the epitome of academia music in my opinion. Post-godhood Tristan wears Sex & Jasmine by Libertine and yes I got so excited finding this one because I personally think its perfect. Its Floral, Warm, and Animalic which I feel would be a Hades fragrance in its most basic sense because of the Persephone floral influence, the warmth of his intentionality for her & their work and of course the passion that is this couple pulled together like gravity. The heady sweet jasmine sambac and geranium opening opening to the next level of more jasmine sambac, neroli, vanilla and boozy smooth & deep, but sweet bourbon. It settling into that ancient blend of incense dark scents of Sandalwood, Aged Patchouli, and Ambergris. This screamed Post-godhood Tristan to me for blending pre/post and some of the mythological influences.

Bonus note: I have a sample of this scent in the mail but I'm willing to bet it'd fit perfectly for any of the three above and it's Of the Immortals by Zaharoff with the intentionality of evoking the aesthetic and sense of Olympian gods.

#lordofthestrix #et voila!

This National Rum Day, Give the Best Rum Gifts from Sendgifts

We are just a few days away from National Rum Day. A holiday dedicated to the production of distilled alcoholic beverages from sugarcane waste.

In the United States, rum is the third most popular spirit. Rum is made from fermented and distilled sugar cane juice or molasses.

New Post has been published on All about business online

New Post has been published on http://yaroreviews.info/2021/03/u-s-eu-suspend-tariffs-imposed-in-boeing-airbus-dispute

U.S., EU Suspend Tariffs Imposed in Boeing-Airbus Dispute

The U.S. and the European Union agreed Friday to suspend tariffs on wine, luggage, produce and other goods related to a longstanding dispute over government subsidies to Boeing Co. and Airbus SE, in a sign of easing trade tensions.

The four-month suspension followed a conversation between President Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who both said the tariff cease-fire was a chance to improve strained bilateral ties.

The decision results in the temporary removal of tariffs imposed on products worth $11.5 billion, including levies of 25% the U.S. imposed on $7.5 billion in imported European products, including wine, whiskey and food items like cheese and olives, as well as aircraft.

In exchange, the EU will lift duties on $4 billion U.S. products including jetliners, wine, suitcases and produce including nuts and cherries. It will also remove tariffs on U.S.-made rum, brandy and vodka, but not on American bourbon and other whiskeys targeted in a separate trade dispute.

The White House said that Mr. Biden underscored to Ms. von der Leyen his commitment to “repair and revitalize the U.S.-EU partnership.”

“Noting our shared values and the world’s largest trade and investment relationship, the leaders agreed to suspend the tariffs related to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Aircraft disputes for four months and to work toward resolving these long running disputes at the WTO,” the White House said.

Ms. von der Leyen hailed the decision as a fresh start for the trans-Atlantic relationship.

“This is excellent news for businesses and industries on both sides of the Atlantic, and a very positive signal for our economic cooperation in the years to come,” she said in a statement.

U.S. lawmakers and groups representing beverage importers and restaurants have urged the Biden administration to lift the retaliatory tariffs in recent weeks, saying they were hurting the hospitality industry at a time when its businesses are struggling amid the pandemic.

The 10-Point.

A personal, guided tour to the best scoops and stories every day in The Wall Street Journal.

“Lifting this tariff burden will support the recovery of restaurants, bars and small craft distilleries across that country that were forced to shut down their businesses during the pandemic,” the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States said Friday.

The group hailed the agreement as a positive development even though EU levies will remain on American whiskey, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and other goods that were imposed to retaliate against imported steel and aluminum levies imposed by the Trump administration. Those U.S. tariffs also remain in place.

The suspension of the aircraft-related tariffs reflects easing of trade tensions between Washington and its trading partners following the aggressive trade policies of former President Donald Trump, who contended that global trading partners had long been taking advantage of the U.S.

Mr. Biden has said he wants to work closely with allies, and his nominee for U.S. Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, said during her confirmation hearing last week she was eager to resolve the aircraft dispute.

The U.S.-EU announcement came a day after the U.S. and the U.K. unveiled a similar agreement, in which both countries suspended retaliatory tariffs in the aircraft dispute for four months. The decision has resulted in the removal of U.S. tariffs on Scotch, cheese and other products from the U.K.

In a statement, Airbus welcomed the decision and said it supports “all necessary actions to create a level-playing field and continue to support a negotiated settlement of this longstanding dispute in order to avoid lose-lose tariffs.”

Boeing said in a statement that it welcomed the suspension, and that it hoped for “productive negotiations to finally resolve this dispute and bring a level playing field to this industry.”

As the coronavirus pandemic rocks the aviation industry, two industry giants are fighting to protect their legacies. WSJ’s Jaden Urbi explains what Boeing and Airbus are doing to survive this unprecedented crisis – and how it could reshape the future of aviation. Photo Composite: George Downs (Originally published May 11, 2021)

The Airbus-Boeing dispute started in 2004 when the U.S. filed a complaint with WTO, claiming the EU’s subsidies for Airbus put Boeing at disadvantage. Under the Trump administration, the dispute turned into a tariff fight that snared food and beverage industries unrelated to aircraft manufacturing. Washington imposed tariffs on $7.5 billion worth of European wine and food items in late 2019.

The EU hit back with levies on U.S. whiskey, nuts and tobacco valued around $4.5 billion. The U.S. stepped up the sanctions on Dec. 31 with additional tariffs, placing virtually all wine imports from France and Germany under its 25% tariff.

In the aircraft manufacturing industry, jetliner deliveries are well below their pre-pandemic levels as the drop in travel demand led cash-strapped airlines to defer or cancel orders. However, some customers have said the tariffs—and who pays them—remain a constraint on the number of deliveries.

“It has to get resolved. There are no winners out of this,” Aengus Kelly, chief executive of AerCap Holdings NV, one oif the world’s biggest aircraft leasing companies, said at an investor event last week.

Delta Air Lines Inc. expanding Airbus fleet made it among the U.S. carriers most affected by the EU action, while Ryanair Holdings PLC’s Boeing 737 MAX delivery schedule made it the most exposed European airline this year. Carriers haven’t disclosed whether they or the manufacturer paid the tariffs.

Delta and JetBlue Airways Corp. each received three Airbus jets last month, which would have been subject to the EU tariffs. Boeing reports final February deliveries next week, with only a single 737 MAX delivery to TUI AG so far disclosed among European customers.

Halloween starts early at the lab, and we’re excited to present the Halloween 2017 update! It’s here! The cornerstone of this year's collection is a spirited tribute to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," featuring numerous heart-stopping illustrations by Drew Rausch (as previewed above).

But wait! There are more collections within the Collection: Pile of Leaves, Pumpkin Spice Whatever (It will never die!), Samhainophobia (be very afraid), and, of course, the season’s stirring Single Notes.

The 2017 Weenies, all limited editions, are all ready and waiting for you online. If you’d like to catch a whiff of the whole set—and a whole lot more—come smell us at New York Comic Con, October 5 through 8. Or send your fairy to Comic Con on a Weenie-gathering mission.

NOW, HERE’S EVERYTHING!

ALL SOULS

A day of remembrance and intercession. Without the prayers and sacrifices of their families and loved ones, the faithful departed may not be cleansed of their venal sins, and thereby cannot attain beatific vision. On November 2nd, prayers are sung and offerings are made to aid lost souls in transcending purgatory. An incense blend that invokes the higher qualities of mercy and compassion, mingled with the soft, sugared currant scent of offertory soul cakes.

THE APPARITION

When by thy scorne, O murdresse, I am dead,And that thou thinkst thee freeFrom all solicitation from mee,Then shall my ghost come to thy bed,And thee, fain'd vestall, in worse armes shall see;Then thy sicke taper will begin to winke,And he,whose thou art then, being tyr'd before,Will, if thou stirre, or pinch to wake him, thinkeThou call'st for more,And in false sleepe will from thee shrinke,And then poore Aspen wretch, neglected thouBath'd in a cold quicksilver swear wilt lyeA veryer ghost than I;What I will say, I will not tell thee now,Lest that preserve thee; and since my love is spent,I'had rather thou shouldst painfully repent,Than by my threatenings rest still innocent.

Quicksilver-cold and heartless: white sandalwood, immortelle, zdravetz, and oudh.

APPLE BUTTER RUM

Spiced rum with cinnamon, apple butter, nutmeg, and thick vanilla cream.

CARDAMOM CREAM PUMPKIN CAKE

Thick lumps of pumpkin cake with cardamom-cream frosting and a dusting of cinnamon.

CHOCOLATE BLOOD

A sideways ode to Hitchcock’s Psycho, by way of Bosco Chocolate Syrup.

CINNAMON CHAI CUPCAKE

A cozy accompaniment on chilly autumn nights.

DAY OF THE SKULLS

In Bolivia, many people hold to the tradition of keeping the skulls of their ancestors with them in their homes, caring for their remains. It is believed that each person has seven souls, and one of those souls stays with the skull after death, enabling a spirit to grant protection and prophetic dreams to their descendants, and to bless their families with good health and prosperity.

The Bolivian Fiesta de las Natitas, or Dia de los Natitas, is a day of honor for these ancestors. Their skulls are dressed with fragrant blossoms, and offerings of cocoa leaves, alcohol, and cigarettes are made.

White sandalwood, beeswax, and frankincense crowned by hydrangea, rose, and kantuta blossoms, dressed with tobacco, cocoa leaves and flowers from the sacred Cactus of the Four Winds.

DIRGE

We do lie beneath the grass In the moonlight, in the shade Of the yew-tree. They that pass Hear us not. We are afraid They would envy our delight, In our graves by glow-worm night. Come follow us, and smile as we; We sail to the rock in the ancient waves, Where the snow falls by thousands into the sea, And the drown’d and the shipwreck’d have happy graves.- Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Yew berries and cypress boughs, ropes of kelp and sea spray.

FEEDING THE DEAD

A barrel of beer, a pyramid of cakes, and three sticks of incense.

HALLOW-E’EN, 1914

"Why do you wait at your door, woman,Alone in the night?”“I am waiting for one who will come, stranger,To show him a light.He will see me afar on the roadAnd be glad at the sight.” “Have you no fear in your heart, woman,To stand there alone?There is comfort for you and kindly contentBeside the hearthstone.”But she answered, “No rest can I haveTill I welcome my own.”“Is it far he must travel to-night,This man of your heart?”“Strange lands that I know not and pitiless seasHave kept us apart,And he travels this night to his homeWithout guide, without chart.” “And has he companions to cheer him?”“Aye, many,” she said.“The candles are lighted, the hearthstones are swept,The fires glow red.We shall welcome them out of the night—Our home-coming dead.”- Winifred M. Letts

A welcome for the home-coming dead: an incense of dried ivy and maple leaf with honeyed fig, black cypress, and grave dirt.

HAUNTED SEAS

A gleaming glassy ocean Under a sky of grey;A tide that dreams of motion, Or moves, as the dead may;A bird that dips and wavers Over lone waters round,Then with a cry that quavers Is gone—a spectral sound. The brown sad sea-weed drifting Far from the land, and lost;The faint warm fog unlifting, The derelict long tossed,But now at rest—though haunted By the death-scenting shark,Whose prey no more undaunted Slips from it, spent and stark.

- Cale Young Rice

Seaspray and flecks of foam welling with opoponax and labdanum’s sepulchral moans.

IN A WHISPERING GALLERY

That whisper takes the voiceOf a Spirit, speaking to me,Close, but invisible,And throws me under a spellAt the kindling vision it brings;And for a moment I rejoice,And believe in transcendent thingsThat would make of this muddy earthA spot for the splendid birthOf everlasting lives,Whereto no night arrives;And this gaunt gray galleryA tabernacle of worthOn this drab-aired afternoon,When you can barely seeAcross its hazed lacuneIf opposite aught there beOf fleshed humanityWherewith I may commune;Or if the voice so nearBe a soul’s voice floating here.- Thomas Hardy

Marbled white iris, white tobacco flower, Italian bergamot, white leather, and Mysore sandalwood.

LA CALAVERA CATRINA

The Lady of the Graveyard! Autumn leaves, wild roses, bourbon vanilla, dry chamomile, and a bouquet of bright chrysanthemums and Mexican marigolds.

OCTOBER

Ay, thou art welcome, heaven's delicious breath!

When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf,

And suns grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief

And the year smiles as it draws near its death.

Wind of the sunny south! oh, still delay

In the gay woods and in the golden air,

Like to a good old age released from care,

Journeying, in long serenity, away.

In such a bright, late quiet, would that I

Might wear out life like thee, 'mid bowers and brooks

And dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks,

And music of kind voices ever nigh;

And when my last sand twinkled in the glass,

Pass silently from men, as thou dost pass.

Dry, cold autumn wind. A rustle of red leaves, a touch of smoke and sap in the air.

PUMPKIN BROWNIES

Swirled with caramel and topped with sour cream frosting.

PUMPKIN CHYPRE

A gleaming auburn chypre shot through with streaks of pumpkin.

PUMPKIN SUGAR 2017

Crystallized glittering shards of lightly spiced pumpkin sugar.

SAMHAIN 2017

Truly the scent of autumn itself -- damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.

SEPTEMBER MIDNIGHT 2017

Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer,

Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing,

Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects,

Ceaseless, insistent.

The grasshopper's horn, and far-off, high in the maples,

The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence

Under a moon waning and worn, broken,

Tired with summer.

Let me remember you, voices of little insects,

Weeds in the moonlight, fields that are tangled with asters,

Let me remember, soon will the winter be on us,

Snow-hushed and heavy.

Over my soul murmur your mute benediction,

While I gaze, O fields that rest after harvest,

As those who part look long in the eyes they lean to,

Lest they forget them.

- Sara Teasdale

A myrrh-darkened amber chypre sweetened by newly-ripened black pomegranate.

SUGAR SKULL 2017

Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits.

THE WITCH BRIDE 2017

A fair witch crept to a young man's side,

And he kiss'd her and took her for his bride.

But a Shape came in at the dead of night,

And fill'd the room with snowy light.

And he saw how in his arms there lay

A thing more frightful than mouth may say.

And he rose in haste, and follow'd the Shape

Till morning crown'd an eastern cape.

And he girded himself, and follow'd still

When sunset sainted the western hill.

But, mocking and thwarting, clung to his side,

Weary day!-the foul Witch-Bride.

(Aw, c'mon, Allingham. Foul is a pretty strong choice of words, dontcha think?)

Pale and lovely, with eyes belladonna-wide: hemlock blossoms and ghostly nightshade veiled by wisteria, white frankincense, black amber, and narcissus resin.

++ HALLOWEEN 2017: SAMHAINOPHOBIA

A celebration of the terrors of the season.

CHIROPTOPHOBIA

Fear of Bats

A flutter of leather becomes a swarm of buffeting musks, tangled with a white flash of sandalwood and near-inaudible shrieks of eucalyptus and elemi.

COIMETROPHOBIA

Fear of Cemeteries

Upturned earth, moss-damp and thick with creeping things. A shard of mahogany from a broken casket. Creaking marble doors pushing open under moonlit skies.

HEMOPHOBIA

Fear of Blood

Crimson splatter, pulsating with blackened vetiver.

NEBULAPHOBIA

Fear of Fog

Sinuous, suffocating tendrils of grey ambergris, white frankincense, and cade.

SAMHAINOPHOBIA

Fear of Halloween

Menacing vetiver, patchouli, and clove with a shock of bourbon geranium, grim oakmoss, and dread-inspiring balsams pierce the innocuous scent of autumn leaves.

++ THE TELL-TALE HEART

Story by Edgar Allan Poe, art by Drew Rausch, scents by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.

I HEARD MANY THINGS IN HELL

The disease had sharpened my senses -- not destroyed -- not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily -- how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

Hearken and observe: black iris, French lavender, Roman chamomile, and frankincense.

THE EYE OF A VULTURE

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture -- a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees -- very gradually -- I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.

Milky white fluid obfuscating a pale, lilac-blue iris.

YOU FANCY ME MAD

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded -- with what caution -- with what foresight -- with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.

Percolating with derangement: flashing spikes of orange blossom, neroli, lemon, and bitter clove in a bubbling mass of opoponax, patchouli, and thick, black vetiver.

GROAN OF MORTAL TERROR

Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief -- oh, no! -- it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it well.

Opaque grey amber and opoponax swelling up like thick smoke, pressed under the weight of baleful tobacco.

THE MOURNFUL INFLUENCE OF THE UNPERCEIVED SHADOW

I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although I chuckled at heart. I knew that he had been lying awake ever since the first slight noise, when he had turned in the bed. His fears had been ever since growing upon him. He had been trying to fancy them causeless, but could not. He had been saying to himself -- "It is nothing but the wind in the chimney -- it is only a mouse crossing the floor," or "It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp." Yes, he had been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions: but he had found all in vain. All in vain; because Death, in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him, and enveloped the victim. And it was the mournful influence of the unperceived shadow that caused him to feel -- although he neither saw nor heard -- to feel the presence of my head within the room.

Unutterable dread: thick black patchouli, shadow musk, myrrh, and threads of hot saffron mired in sweet, viscous labdanum.

And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror.

THE DEAD HOUR OF THE NIGHT

Mist-shrouded pine and moonflower creeping over flaccid opium poppies.

THE DREADFUL SILENCE OF THAT OLD HOUSE

Polished mahogany blanketed by myrrh.

STEALTHILY, STEALTHILY

When I had waited a long time, very patiently, without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open a little -- a very, very little crevice in the lantern. So I opened it -- you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily -- until, at length a simple dim ray, like the thread of the spider, shot from out the crevice and fell full upon the vulture eye.

It was open -- wide, wide open -- and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness -- all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones; but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: for I had directed the ray as if by instinct, precisely upon the damned spot.

A dim ray upon the vulture eye: smoked violets and bulbous orris, threads of crumbling lavender, and wet iris butter.

OVER-ACUTENESS OF THE SENSE

And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the sense? -- now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well, too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage.

Hyper-aware, swirling with delusions: orange blossom, lemon balm, and clove.

THE HELLISH TATTOO OF THE HEART

But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely breathed. I held the lantern motionless. I tried how steadily I could maintain the ray upon the eve. Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! -- do you mark me well I have told you that I am nervous: so I am.

Blood musk and pulsating black pepper, a throb of bitter almond, and cracked pimento.

SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY

If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body. The night waned, and I worked hastily, but in silence. First of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head and the arms and the legs.

I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. I then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye -- not even his -- could have detected any thing wrong. There was nothing to wash out -- no stain of any kind -- no blood-spot whatever. I had been too wary for that. A tub had caught all -- ha! ha!

When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock -- still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it with a light heart, -- for what had I now to fear? There entered three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of the police. A shriek had been heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been lodged at the police office, and they (the officers) had been deputed to search the premises.

Clean wood floors, a clean tub, clean, clean, clean, with no stain of any kind, no blood-spot whatsoever.

THE WILD AUDACITY OF MY PERFECT TRIUMPH

I smiled, -- for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search -- search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.

A jubilant and deranged lime absinthe.

SINGULARLY AT EASE

The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted.

Rum cakes and black tea, blueberry scones and biscuits.

VIOLENT GESTICULATIONS

No doubt I now grew very pale; -- but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased -- and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound -- much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath --and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly -- more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone?

An erratic pomegranate mint, high-pitched and flailing with eucalyptus, above a throbbing core of black musk.

2020 Belgianfest Beer List

Anacortes Brewery-Anacortes

1) Beers From the Wood Series - Barrel Aged Brett

Barrel aged 7 months with Brettanomyces, this ruby-colored Belgian ale exhibits complex and balanced aromas of sour cherry and fruit leather. Delicate hopping during the boil and months on wood produced jammy fruit flavors with a hint of Brett funk.

2) Bravetart (ABV 7%)

Our intrepid Broadsword aged in a bourbon barrel for a year and a day emerged with flavors of tart raspberries, crab apple, even cabernet sauvignon and aromas of over ripe fruit, subtle aged cheese and some barnyard funk. They may take our lagers, they may take our ales, but they'll never take our Bravetart!

3) Dubbel Vision (ABV 7.8% / IBU 25)

Our traditional Belgian-style Dubbel is malt forward and brewed with European Black Prinz malt, brown sugar and honey. Starting with aroma and flavor notes of clove and ripe banana from a Belgian monastic yeast, this dark beer finishes with a just a touch of warmth that hints at it's alcohol content.

4) Tripel Vision (ABV 8.9% / IBU 6)

Our Belgian Tripel adheres to traditional guidelines with its pale straw color from mostly pilsner malt and it's high alcohol content. This spicy Belgian will make your lips sing!

Black Raven Brewing-Redmond

1) La Petite Mort (ABV 8.5%)

La Petite Mort means a little death in French. What’s a little death if it comes in this form? Well worth it we think. This Belgian inspired strong abbey dark ale is brewed with a Belgian Ardennes yeast strain, and a generous four month cellar aging mellows and matures this fine ale. This additional time brings out flavors of dark fruit such as plums and raisins, deep caramel notes, and wonderful earthy tobacco tones.

2) 2018 Corvus Frambicus (ABV 5.7%)

Here it is folks, our raspberry sour with all the soul we could squeeze into it. This pours bright and red with strong raspberry and mature soured notes on the nose. It drinks crisp and dry with a slight raspberry hard candy note on the front. This soon gives way to a huge acid content which pushes the edge of comfort on the back of the palate. The finish is surprisingly clean and lingering.

Boundary Bay Brewery–Bellingham

1) It's A Sleeper (ABV 8.7% ABV / IBY 20)

COLLABORATION WITH NORTH FORK BREWERY

When North Fork and Boundary Bay brew together it’s likely to get a bit crazy! With the final gravity falling below the density of water, this experimental Belgian-style ale is no exception. Meld in aromas of stonefruit and light cherry, flavors of biscuity and light chocolate maltiness and an extraordinarily dry, brandy-like finish, and you’ve got yourself a taste of madness!

2) Wonderland (ABV 9.4% / IBU 25)

This Belgian Strong Golden's namesake is a fabled trail on Galbraith Mountain that was destroyed and reborn anew. Accessible to most riders, it also boasts a popular big drop for the more experienced rider. True to the trail and style, Wonderland Belgian is an approachable, powerful and intricate golden ale. Hidden behind the billowy lingering head, artfully balanced Body, and complex yeast character awaits a wondrous and deceptively strong treasure.

Burke Gilman Brewing-Seattle

1) Patersbier (ABV 5%)

A Belgian table beer.

2) Ty's Triple Tipple Tripel (ABV 9.3%)

A Belgian Tripel.

3) Boombastic (ABV 9.5%)

A Belgian Dark Strong, aged for 6 months in Red-Wine Barrels.

Camp Colvos Brewing-Vashon Island

1) Vie en Légèreté (ABV 5.2%)

“Life in Lightness” Belgian White, Aged with whisky-soaked white currents, crisp

2) Vie en Noir (ABV 6.8%)

“Life in Darkness” Black Saison, Aged on black currents, dried fruit, coffee, slightly tart

Diamond Knot Brewing-Mukilteo

1) Belgian Tripel (ABV 8.4% / IBU 20)

2) Oaked Belgian Tripel w/ rum soaked peppercorns (ABV 8.4% / IBU 20)

Elliott Bay Brewing-Burien

1) De Rode Duivels (Red Devils) (ABV 6.5%)

The house sour red blend for our Brother Barrel bar boasts aromas of red wine, cherries, raspberries, and vanilla with some malt flavor and vanilla sweetness for balance. 8 and 15 months in barrels

2) Brandy Barrel Tripel in Still Water (ABV 7.9%)

Slightly boozy sweet flavor and slight drying tannins from the barrel. Aroma of candied peaches and stone fruit from the Belgian yeast and charred oak barrel. 8 months in a barrel

3) Farmhouse Gold (ABV 5.5%)

Funky and tropical fruit aromas derived from Brettanomyces yeast. The Sauv Blanc barrel adds notes of crisp white wine, apricot, and honey. 10 months in barrels

4) Simple Ricks Belgian Single (ABV 4.6% / IBU 20)

Dry yet drinkable and flavorful straw-colored Belgian-style ale with notes of stone fruit and spice.

Elysian Brewing-Seattle

1) Brett Noel Barrel aged Belgian-style Dark Ale (ABV 12.8%)

Finished in red wine barrels with a house Brett culture. Emanating with chocolate and deep cherry notes, hints of smoke and roast, this luscious beer is perfect for those cold winter nights shared among friends.

2) Saison de Holdenberg

As unassuming, but nuanced, as our one and only Phil Holden. Copeland Pils and Caramel 15 from our friends at Skagit Valley Malting, a bit of Rolled oats for mouthfeel, hopped with Celeia for a floral and spicy finished. Fermented warm with one of our favorite Belgian yeasts for notes of fruity and perfumy esters.

Figurehead Brewing Company-Seattle

1) Barrel Aged Tripel Digits (ABV 9.2%)

For our 100th batch we brewed a traditional Abbey-style tripel and then ran a little bit into a 3rd use whiskey maple syrup barrel. The traditional Belgian aromas of clove and banana in the base beer have subsided to be replaced with huge oak notes of vanilla and a very subtle note of whiskey.

2) Tafelbier Dry-hopped Saison (ABV 4.5%)

We brewed this saison to be a tafelbier, or table beer in Flemmish. Spice from the saison yeast blends with spicy, herbal, and floral German hops making a great accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. The nose also lends notes of white wine, citrus, and subtle pine from a dry hop of Hallertau Blanc and Southern Cross hops. Tart, refreshing, and bursting with complexity, this beer can stand on its own yet won’t overpower whatever dish you pair it with.

3) C’est la Saison w/ Jamaican Peppercorns (ABV 5.9%)

A light malt bill and light hopping lets the spice notes in this winter saison take center stage. We fermented this beer warmer to enhance the spiciness from the yeast and then added additional spice in the form of allspice, also known as Jamaican peppercorns.

4) Session 1 Only - Belgian Ale w/ Brandy Soaked Cherries Cask (ABV 6.4%)

Dark amber ale fermented with abbey-style yeast and then cask conditioned with 1.5 pounds of pie cherries soaked in brandy. Sweetness and notes of fig/raisin from dark crystal malts combine with fruitiness from the brandy, while the tart cherries bring some balance.

5) Session 2 Only – Saison w/ Yuzu, Sweet Lime Zest, and Grains of Paradise Cask (ABV 6.4%)

This dark amber saison combines the spiciness from saison yeast with subtle peppery, floral, and citrus notes from grains of paradise. The rich maltiness of the beer is balanced by tart yuzu juice and citrusy sweet lime zest, making this beer surprisingly refreshing.

Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery-Seattle

1) Belgian-style Blonde Ale (ABV 5.5% / IBU 22)

Belgian malt and yeast and continental hops in a classic easy-drinking but scrumptious

Belgian-style blonde.

2) The Sinner (ABV 9.6%)

Barrel-aged Abbey-style Dark Strong Ale aged 8 months in bourbon barrels designed by co-op member Matt Fiess.

Flying Lion Brewing-Seattle

1) Belgian Quaddamnit (ABV 12% / IBU 49)

This once-per-year brew is strong and complex. The malt-heavy body is laced with intense notes of clove, banana, and dried fruit. In other words, superextrafruitytastesokindsofspicydoses!

2) Belgian Strong (ABV 9.0% / IBU 37)

The Belgian (Golden) Strong’s flavor is a complex blend of the fruity esters provided by the yeast with subtle additions of Coriander, Ginger, and Grains of Paradise. The high ABV is perfectly masked in this extraordinarily smooth beer!

3) Rom Pom Saison (ABV 4.0% / IBU 12)

Saison’s dramatic take on a seasonal, Winter Warmer. A pleasantly tart, low alcohol Saison blended with Pomegranates and just enough cinnamon and ginger to make your heart grow three sizes.

Fremont Brewing-Seattle

1) Farm Fractals (ABV 6.4% / IBU 38)

Collab with Almanac Brewing, this is our take on a Belgian Pale Ale. Fermented in oak puncheons and finished with Brett.

2) House Saison (ABV 6.3% / IBU 25)

Blend of French and Belgian Saison yeasts, this is a classic and clean Saison aged in oak puncheons.

3) Sound & Fury (ABV 6.8% / IBU 25)

Sound and Fury is a Brett IPA that was fermented and aged in one of our American oak foeders with a house brett culture. After a month of conditioning on oak, it was dry hopped in stainless with Mosaic and strata hops.

4) Horizon (ABV 5.0% / IBU 19)

A blend of house cultures fermented and aged in “Copper Patch” (our large oak foeder) for six months.

Ghostfish Brewing Company-Seattle

1) Field o’ Flowers (ABV 5% / IBU 55)

A co-fermented hoppy Belgian using two Belgian yeast strains, whole cone Eureka hops, and generous Eureka dry hop. This hazy golden brew brims with notes of grass, clover, honey, bit of citrus zest, and clove - leaving you revelling in a field o’ flowers...in January!

2) Shrouded Summit Belgian White (ABV 4.8% / IBU 20)

A hazy golden body capped with a snowy head. A wintry burst of juniper and citrus, on an updraft of Belgian-style aromatics. This beer was our “Everest”–a proper witbier, without wheat or barley! Through a feat of determination worthy of a mountaineer, we proved it was possible, and now we invite you to join us on the Summit. Busting with classic Belgian-style aromatics of banana, clove, and sweet orange, you won’t believe there’s no wheat!

3) 5th Anniversary Barrel-Aged Tart Saison (ABV 7% / IBU 19)

Early on, Ralph Waldo Emerson‘s famous quote inspired us to forge our own path. So many found our trail and have remained close to us along this incredible journey. Five years later we are forging ahead, pushing new boundaries. To celebrate our fifth anniversary, we wanted to do something unique. And so, we present our first packaged barrel aged beer. This tart saison style beer was aged five months in barrels that once housed a mix of Washington ground chardonnay, syrah, and cabernet varietals. The result of this labor of love is an exquisite array of bright fruit flavors (including pear, grape, and apple), balanced oak influence, and light spice. Thank you for believing in us! ~ The Ghostfish Team

SPIRIBAM Launches Admiral Rodney Rum In The U.S.

NEW YORK, June 4, 2019 — SPIRIBAM, Fine Rum Specialists, welcomes the arrival of Admiral Rodney to its American shores. As a rum brand long admired by the most enthusiastic rum professionals, Admiral Rodney has been redesigned and relaunched to showcase the treasures of aged rums hidden in the vaults of Saint Lucia Distillers and to celebrate the life and achievements of a great naval strategist. Three clever blends with smart packaging make up the initial Admiral Rodney releases, known individually by three prominent ship names in Admiral Rodney’s flotilla: HMS Princessa, HMS Royal Oak, and HMS Formidable. Admiral Rodney is the latest of several prestigious rums to enter the United States from Saint Lucia, making Saint Lucia the top new origin for luxurious world-class rums.

The Admiral Rodney signature flavor profile comes from the robust base rum extracted from lower plates on the Coffey still, where there is less alcohol but more natural flavor and true rum character. These rums are then patiently aged in oak casks and meticulously blended to create soft, rich sipping rums that tell stories long after your glass is empty.

Rum enthusiasts can expect a heavier body than is usually present in column still rums, complemented by a rich rum profile. These characteristics can be attributed to the technique of extracting pure rum from the lower plates of the rectifier column and extending periods of aging in oak casks.

The inspiration behind the development of this line originates from St. Lucia Distillers original Admiral Rodney blend that celebrated the famous English naval strategist Admiral George B Rodney who famously “broke the line” and vanquished the French fleet at the Battle of the Saints in 1782. A flagship in terms of age and complexity, the distillery chose to build upon their collection and expand Saint Lucia’s stake in the global premium rum universe. Already a multi-award-winning rum, Admiral Rodney has been labeled by several of the world’s most esteemed rum aficionados as the best pure rum made on a traditional twin column Coffey still.

ABOUT ADMIRAL RODNEY:

The Admiral Rodney series of award-winning rums commemorates the famous Battle of the Saints and toasts the courage and valor of British sailors who “broke the line” and defeated the French navy. With three distinct expressions, it is without a question that Admiral Rodney rum is a fine aged rum unparallel to any other.

Admiral Rodney Rum is now available in select U.S markets. Customers across the country (with the exception of AL, IL, KY, MI, MS, NH, SD, & UT) can order the product and have it conveniently shipped directly to their home.

Aroma Of Thoughts BY: Nefer Baka Neterus & Netert 15mL Traveling Refillable Spray

Our Designer Perfume Oils don't have any alcohol, Fillers and Chemical ingredients . Which means you will be getting more natural product smells and better long lasting scent . Perfumes are composed of about 90% alcohol and 10% oil. Oil is the fragrance, and alcohol is what is used to cut it down. The reason that perfumes and colognes are cut so much with alcohol is that it makes the wearing time shorter; hence you will run out of perfume faster and need to buy more. If you decide to buy a perfume the normal wearing time will last a few hours; however if you put on an oil you will still be able to smell the aroma 24 hours later. The fragrance is stronger which means you only have to wear a few drops for it to be effective. Oils are not only used for wearing, but also for burning.

Revisiting the Andes: Coffees From Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia

The three coffee-growing countries that range along the Andes south of Colombia — Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia — have rich and storied coffee histories. When Coffee Review last dove in to this region, with reports in 2010 and 2013, we found many impressively solid, softly balanced coffees in the Latin-American tradition — all produced from classic tree varieties like Typica and Caturra and processed with care by the time-honored washed or wet method. Coffees that stood out did so because of the purity of their traditional preparation and their balanced structure, not because of unusual tree variety, processing method or particularly original cup profile.

Although this month’s survey did turn up several very impressive coffees in that traditional mode, consider the following signs of change and experimentation in this region. Tree variety: Submissions for this year’s report included six Geishas, an expensive and distinctive variety of Arabica just beginning to be widely grown outside Panama (its most famous producer) and Ethiopia (its ancestral home), plus several samples produced from the newish Sidra variety (a hybrid of Typica and Bourbon). Or take processing method: 16 of the 48 coffees we tested for this month’s report were processed by the dried-in-the-whole-fruit or natural method, rather than the traditional washed method once completely dominant in the region.

David Pittman, of Peach Coffee Roasters in Atlanta, Georgia, updating his roast log. Courtesy of Peach Coffee.

For drinkers of specialty coffee, this experimentation seems to be paying off. Two of the Geishas (one wet-processed, one natural) and one Sidra (natural-processed) rose to the top of this month’s scorecard, as did two naturals produced from traditional tree varieties. These coffees joined several superb coffees of the classic style to fill out the 11 coffees we review here, rated 93 to 91. And although this ratings range is narrow, the breadth of nuance in aroma, structure, body and flavor runs the whole sensory gamut.

The Fair-Trade/Organic Conundrum

Peru, in particular, has long been a go-to origin for organic and fair trade-certified coffees. For our 2013 report, more than 60% of the Andes coffees we tested were certified organic, and almost 50% were fair trade-certified. By comparison, for this month’s report only eight (about 17%) of the 48 coffees submitted were labeled fair trade and/or organic (FTO). Perhaps such certifications are less meaningful now to consumers than they were in previous years, or roasters no longer feel that offering certified organic and/or fair trade coffees is worth the effort and money involved. Keep in mind that, even if U.S. or Canadian roasters buy organic-certified green coffee, they cannot print “organic” on the label and use an organic seal unless their roasting facilities are also certified for handling organic coffees, a demanding and time-consuming process. Similarly, exhibiting a fair trade seal on a coffee requires a licensing partnership, which also involves money, time and oversight. (See our report on fair trade-certified coffees.)

Probably for these reasons roasters may buy a coffee certified fair trade/organic but may choose not to take the steps necessary to legally display the certification seal. Apparently, this was the case with more than 10 of the submissions we spot-checked among the 48 samples we received. In other words, even though a bag was not labeled as FTO, a quick search online of the importer’s site indicated that the green coffee was certified at origin. So, the farmer is still getting a certification premium at the farm level, but roasters are choosing not to take advantage of this ethical appeal in their marketing.

The Direct Trade Alternative

Several roasters I spoke with for this report speculated, off-the-record, that farmers now need to differentiate their coffees more by way of intrinsic cup quality and distinction than by certification. So, in some cases, the value added by certification has given way to the more personalized appeal of direct trade, a set of practices that are not formalized, but are increasing in popularity as a new way for farmers to add value to their coffees: roasters, often dealing directly with producers, pay more for small lots of very distinctive-tasting coffees. Farmers often can earn more for a direct trade coffee with distinctive cup character created in collaboration with a roaster than they can through producing a possibly less-distinctive certified coffee. Of course, the value-added in direct trade is fluid and negotiable (as is the premium paid for organic certification). Only fair trade stipulates a formula-determined minimum price.

We spoke with Melissa Wilson and Parker Townley of Fair Trade USA (whose global seal reads Fair Trade Certified) to try to understand some of the nuances of this complex situation. Townley points out that the fair trade premium paid to producers, which is a significant $.20 per pound, enables coffee communities to undertake important social projects involving such necessities as cancer screenings, nutrition initiatives, education, and food security. He says, “It also positions them to deal with crises like rust, by being able to direct the premium to renovation, without waiting for governments or international development agencies to get some help; or the coffee price crisis, by being able to pay part of the premium in cash and supplement farmer incomes. The premium also enables farmers to grow in capacity by investing in things like cupping labs, dry mills, and staff training.”

Wilson adds that, while many farms are organic by default — because farmers don’t have access to affordable agrochemicals — the Peruvian government (along with other countries like Mexico) — has supported large-scale organic certification to add value, and the combined fair trade/organic premium on these coffees is $.30 a pound. And she says, “Fair Trade is a base supporting a lot of different initiatives that help farming communities. It does not pretend to be a magic wand to solve all problems, but it gives producers a very important range of motion, and sets the stage for efforts to be built upon.”

David Pittman of Peach Coffee Roasters in Atlanta, Georgia, whose Natural Utcubamba we rated 91, says that, for better or worse, his customers don’t have FTO on their radar. “Currently, we are the only specialty coffee shop within a five-mile radius,” he says. “We are in the introductory phase of specialty coffee with our customers. For the most part, we have about 15-20 seconds to explain what sets our coffee apart from commodity. To try to explain FTO might be a bridge too far for us, right now.” He bought the wildly unusual natural-processed Utcubamba simply because he loved how it tasted. We read notes of caramelized banana, hibiscus, cedar, pipe tobacco and rum cordial — not a coffee you’d pin as a Peru in a blind-cupping. Even though this coffee isn’t labeled fair trade, its purchase supports farmers on the ground by way of the fair trade premium.

Similarly, Nathan Westwick of Wild Goose Coffee Roasters in Redlands, California submitted a lovely Peru Chirinois San Ignacio (92) that is certified organic at origin, but since the roastery isn’t also certified, he isn’t able to promote the coffee as such. Ideally, the consumer ought to know about the certification, too, but at least the farmers are being rewarded for producing coffees in ways that Wilson says are “better for the farmer and for the planet.”

The Sensory Experience, From Classic to Experimental

Of the 11 coffees we review here, some were sensory rides as wild as the Peach Coffee Utcubamba. Bird Rock’s Finca Tasta Peru (93), a natural-processed Red Caturra, offered up blood orange zest, dried raspberry, ginger blossom, cocoa powder and sandalwood — again, not your classic Peru cup, which is typically balanced, soft in structure and understated in aromatics. Of this coffee, Maritza Suarez-Taylor of Bird Rock says, “[Farmer] Edith Meza started to experiment with honey and natural-process coffees in 2014, and after tasting a lot of samples, we offered the first coffees from this process in 2016 (at PT’s Coffee, a brand also owned by Suarez-Taylor and her husband, Jeff). Every year, Edith and her brother Ivan ask for our feedback on what they can do to improve the green coffee, which is a challenge for them due the lack of infrastructure and knowledge in coffee processing that deviates from the traditional washed process. For this coffee, we asked her to separate out the Red Caturra. Each year we continue to see improvements in quality and consistency.”

Sean Tung of Sucré Beans in Taipei.

Other experimental coffees we review include three produced from the Geisha variety: Taiwan-based Sucré Beans Bolivia Yungas Caranavi Alasitas Geisha Natural (93), whose spice-toned, delicately fruity profile wooed us; a second natural Geisha from the Caranavi region of Bolivia by Plat Coffee in Hong Kong (91), with a more reserved, cocoa-toned presentation; and a washed Blues Brew Geisha Pasco Oxapampa Peru (92), also roasted in Taiwan, alive with resonant floral and deep candied nut tones.

Blues Chen of Blues Brew in Taipei.

In the classic wet-processed camp, Minnesota’s Paradise Roasters Ecuador Pichincha Typica (93), a version of which made our list of the Top 30 Coffees of the Year in 2018, leads the way with its richly sweet-savory notes of cocoa nib, mango, lemon verbena and freesia. Kansas-based PT’s Coffee’s washed-process Sidra (the Typica-Bourbon hybrid) landed at 93 for its rich-toned, engaging complexity, more like a “classic” cup in Technicolor.

A Cajamarca Peru from Greater Goods Roasting in Austin, Texas and an Ecuador Finca La Papaya (92) from Willoughby’s Coffee & Tea in Branford, Connecticut, both conventionally wet-processed, each earned 93 points for their straight-ahead flying of the classic flag. The former is deeply rich and sweetly savory, while the latter is crisply tart, more citrus-driven.

The Ecuador Los Eucaliptos from Kickapoo Coffee (93) in Driftless, Wisconsin reads a bit like a clean but idiosyncratic natural-processed coffee with its notes of very ripe plum and root beer, but it turned out to be a washed coffee whose roast profile also showed off its pretty fruit and sweet herbaceousness.

The Current State of Andes Coffees

Many farmers in this region are recovering from one of the worst outbreaks in history of the devastating coffee fungus known as leaf rust. Several roasters I spoke with suggested anecdotally that the need for re-planting is one explanation for the experiments with varieties such as Geisha and Sidra, as these coffees command higher prices than Typica and Caturra. Experimental processing methods, on the other hand, are almost certainly driven by market demand for distinctive-tasting coffees. There is a growing desire, especially in Asia, the U.S. and Canadian markets, for the unusual, often fruit-driven character of natural-processed coffees. Sean Tung, of Plat Coffee in Hong Kong, says he thinks processing experiments are also going global by way of producers sharing information across continents.

Shihpan (James) Chuang, of Taipei-based importer Pebble Coffee, cautions that, with the pursuit of naturals in producing regions that don’t have traditions of this processing method, the proposition can be especially risky. But he agrees that producers can ask more for these coffees, given their potentially unique profiles and the additional labor and time required to produce them.

Amy Broderick, a trader with Olam Specialty Coffee, puts an even finer point on it: “The possibility of inconsistent results is higher than with washed coffees, and over-fermentation is common. The process can be piloted, but then once the farmer nails it in small batches and moves on to larger quantities it’s possible they run into factors they can’t control (too high temperatures, too much rain, etc.), and if something small turns into something big in the cup quality, they’ve risked it all for nothing.

“Beyond that,” Broderick continues, “not every farm can take on the risk of experimentation. With a market that fluctuates the way we’ve been seeing, just having the capital to invest in innovating products is often not an option, especially knowing that some of those experiments will not yield perfect results in the short term. It could take a few harvests to really pinpoint the perfect cup for that region and variety. If farmers don’t have partners on the ground who can cue them in to the information and feedback they need, then the risk could be considered too high.”

In fact, over-fermentation was the most common issue with the natural-processed coffees we cupped that did not score high enough to be included in this report.

While it’s impossible to know how the experimentation going on in this region will ultimately play out, our cupping of 48 coffees from Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, with their exhilarating mix of profiles both classic and unorthodox, appears to bode well for the future.
