How neat to get to try something from such a small brewery with such high marks!! I love that FB shared the spoils of his journey with you, too-- what a rare treat, and a great way to celebrate your birthday, Don!
As for the tasting notes.... I worked for a spell in the wine industry, and while yes, some people are indeed "super tasters", there are a lot more that are just "super bull****ers".
(Try it out sometime... if you're ever on a hoity toity wine tasting, when the person pouring is rattling off the list of 'notes' that you might taste in that red wine... just sip, nod slowly while they're talking, and say thoughtfully, "Hmmm, yes, indeed... and I detect just a hint of currant". Doesn't matter what kind of red it is, 9.9 times out of 10 people will applaud you for how insightful your palette is, and agree that they, too, taste the currant.) And if you get bored with currants, just use some other fairly obscure fruit that people have definitely heard of but have no clue if they've ever actually tasted.
Gooseberries are always a good one.
LV Cajun, sounds like you have quite the challenge ahead of you!! How neat to have such a variety at your fingertips! I used to live near a place that sounds like your "Freakin' Frog", and it was (almost) TOO much selection. I would usually just walk in and just stand there for awhile trying to get my bearings and let it sink in that "YES, this much good beer DOES exist. In one place. And I can buy any of it that I want." They are definitely on my "zombie apocalypse" hideout list.
If I'm gonna get eaten, might as taste like barley pops!
