I love monsters. The Skaven have their Clan Moulder who love monstrous rat creatures. Here is a monstrous rat creature list made with the new Skaven book that I hope to proxy and try out (perhaps collect, assemble, and paint):
It has been awhile since I featured a beer review on the site. I still have a huge backlog of beers I need to review but I thought this one was thematically appropriate.
LORDS: (225)Two big units of Rat Ogres w/ Packmasters and a big block of Giant Rats with Engineers. The smaller pack of Giant Rats is for harassing flanks or claiming table quarters. Giant monsters do what they do best - kill things! I have never played Skaven. Just looking for something fun to play with and model and huge mutant rats seem to be on my mind at the moment. Suggestions for the list are welcomed and encouraged!

Indian Wells Brewing Company - Lobotomy Bock
Beer Type: Doppelbock
Appearance: 12 oz. brown bottle with a red "cartoony" label on it. Beer poured a dark reddish black color with a thick head.
Smell: Bready... a bit of sweet dark aroma (chocolate?).
First Drink: A little bit of chocolate but nothing that really sticks around.
Mouthfeel: Thin and a little flat feeling (more carbonation would be nice).
Last Drink: More malt and bread flavors but overall this is a very simple beer.
Drinkability: Seems a bit like Shiner Bock in taste and mouthfeel, but I feel like there should be more going on.
Notes: This beer is 10% alchohol but you can't really taste it. Not great, not bad, this one is just alright (and my brains are still intact).
Verdict: 3 out of 5
