The site has a completely re-coded theme that uses an SEO-optimized, tableless layout.  This theme corrects the column layout such that the content of any column will push down the height of the other columns.  Also, this is now a fluid-width theme instead of a fixed width theme, which takes full advantage of a user's window size..  More improvements will follow during the course of this year.

Dominion Oak Barrel Stout

Brewer:
Old Dominion Brewing Co.
Year:
2009
5.20% ABV
 
Style:
Stout
Format/Container:
Bottle - Brown
Score:
28/30

Review:

Now THIS is my kind of beer.  Thick and full of flavor.  You can smell what you're in store for right after the pour.  The label reads:

"Dominion Oak Barrel Stout raises the bar for American stouts. Our method of dry-hopping with vanilla beans & oak chips broadens out stouts flavor spectrum even further."

This truly lives up to the beerish descriptors of "liquid bread" or "meal in a bottle".  I would recommend this beer to anyone that likes a good coffee-like or chocolate-like beer.  This is, thankfully, NOT a thin beer.

Beer Reviews Redeployed!

Like I said, beer reviews needed a better approach than my original attempt.  I'm sure there will be other things to tweak later, but this should be a sufficient starting point for data collection.

Principles and Practice of Low Vision Rehabilitation is an online social network and continuing education coursework for the low vision medical community.  I developed this website using Drupal.

The theme design is currently a table-based layout, given it's complexity and the time requirement, but will be redesigned in Phase 2 of this project.  There are several custom content types, workflows, and very granular permissions in place to maintain tight control over the content and its accessibility in this community.

Redeploying beer reviews

chadhester's picture
Jan 17 2010

The more I learn the more I realize what I have yet to know.  Beer reviews are being reshaped and redeployed with more categories and 5-star ratings per category.  More research needed, so this is clearly a work-in-progress.  That is, however, why I'm doing these reviews... well, and to find the best way to catalog my experience with great brews!

These categories will contain, in a standardized order:

  1. Pour
  2. Appearance
  3. Aroma
  4. First Sip
  5. Mouthfeel
  6. Finish

Advice welcome, of course!

Shaping up...

Beer reviews begin next week!  There's still a little theming cleanup to do for public viewing, but that shouldn't take too long.  I'm mostly interested in getting all the fields that we should need. If you are interested in reviewing beer, please request an account with a "Beer Reviewer" role.  Read more »
