There is also that handy dandy Upload a File button right next to Post Reply.

every time you use that feature, it costs the webhost a fraction of a bitcoin and we come one step closer to this site being pay for play

post something this asanine again and ill take your noteable member point

I don't use it, but clearly a lot of people do. I see those dumb thumbnails every time someone quotes one.
 
FFS, never even noticed the upload file button! Now, why don’t they have that next to the url image link when writing a post?

Anyway, I’ll try the imgbb thing, just to make it complicated.

This work?

Anyone ever open a Lea's Journey? Picked one up today.

Edit: Other than stakem? Here's his review on BA:
Bottle into a fantome tulip appears copper in color with huge off-white head.

It smells green and yeasty, somewhat carbonic and mineral laden with toasty to bready grain also included.

Taste has a clean yeasty profile akin to pepper and clove with bready malty grains behind it along with a green vegetal taste that lingers long after the swallow with mineral and carbonic character.

Light to medium in body with more than ample carbonation. This is young, and it tastes like it. Luckily it is not excessively bitter like many of the recent releases have been.

FoudreGuy and I had one on Christmas Eve. I do not remember much, but I know I enjoyed it. Oh, I also remember that the cork and cage nearly took out an eye... Or was that the bottle of Noel afterward?

The Lea's Journey cork almost destroyed your ceiling light since the opener was still in it when it shot straight up.

Very malty, dry and bitter. Good stuff.
 

Forgot to share this. 2011ish Bris Bon Bons me and a buddy opened last week. BB date June 2014 tab clipped.

Cork started to push out once cap was removed. Poured clear with strong carb and lingering head.

Lots of fruit on the nose - bruised apples, strawberries, mild oxidative notes. Smells good! Forest floor, bitter hops, caramel oxidation on palate. Lingering bitterness from hops is moderate to strong but pleasantly smoothed out from fresh.

Found I have a few more bottles of this in the cellar but not sure it should be aged any further.

Yes, mine felt like it needed a time. Mostly agree with stakem. It really opened up as it warmed though and came through with those Tôme flavors we all love so much.

As far as I know, this is the first time I have seen this on the shelf out here?

Frothy bugger, but I have to say I am really liking this. Will go buy a couple more tonorrow.

Cork wanted to leave on its own, in no rush but the Ghost wanted out with no mechanical aids.

Last pours still had some vigour
