Beware the strong beer on the busy day


So, we had kind of a busy Sunday.  We had homework to do, I was puttering around my library (Did I blog about my library?  I have one!  And it rocks!  I need a smoking jacket!), and we made slow cooker food.  Slow cookers are amazing.  You just put stuff in it with some water and it comes out delicious.  And, I was trying to do a food pairing type thing with the pot roast and vegetables we were having, and I thought Dogfish Head Raison D'Extra would be good! It is an intense brown ale made with raisins.  Well, I drank about three quarters of it with dinner and was feeling a little loopy, so I had to stop drinking it!  I had stuff to do.  
HOWEVER -- like most strong Dogfish Head beers such as 120 minute, Fort, Red and White, and other delicious Dogfish offerings that are over 12% ABV -- they are great for when you have time to drink them, enjoy them and deal comfortably, happily and safely with the effects!  There's a reason for those bright green "danger" caps on those bottles!  
Hmmmm . . . I think there's some schmutz on the label.  oops.
