...With no sightings of any dove landings in St. Peter's today, we were left pondering Cardinal Ratzinger's speech from the morning mass, the last sign to the outside world of the 115 electors communicating amongst themselves. Assigned the honor as the dean of the College of Cardinals, Ratzinger gave another homily, like the one delivered at John Paul's funeral last Friday, that was eloquent and direct. Today we saw a side of Ratzinger that was very different from the unifying figure who so gracefully and humbly eulogized the Pope. The message inside St. Peter's was clear...

...denoted a barleywine. With a burnt orange color in the glass, this creation has a distinctly more alcoholic taste. It’s not wine, but it’s not beer either. That said, the taste is smooth and rich, with hints of citrus and caramel poking out amongst the strong notes of malt and hops. Fortified with an impressive 9.6 percent alcohol, you can expect to drink 60 percent less liquid for the same buzz. Not for chugging...
