Le Bilboquet Billy Bishop Double IPA (Picked up at IGA in Montreal). A 3 of 4. Lots of herbal notes on top of some fainter citrus and grapefruit hop notes. The body has quite a bit of caramel malt sweetness and bitterness to it, and is quite balanced throughout. Solid.

"i paint the air between my eye and the object" … walter tandy murch
"we also learn from the younger murch that early on, when his father asked his friend joseph cornell what he should paint, the collagist replied, 'for god’s sake, walter, paint anything,' and handed him an antique bilboquet, a children’s 'cup-and-ball' toy" … carl little
"i’m not an art critic, and i sure don’t want to sound like one [but] in an age where people are obsessed with sleek products, it’s important to point out that murch was not trying to capture the design of the object. he wanted to capture the character of the object" … george lucas
"i post the space between my mind and the keyboard" … al janik

Braggato is a mixture of Fire and Grass, an uncommon pairing. It demonstrates impressive grace and dexterity through the use of its special weapon - a magic bilboquet. The special stick it carved with its claws can change the properties of the ball that is attached to it via vines. When caught at the wide base end, the ball becomes that of charcoal, able to be lit on fire with a snap of Braggato's fingers -- its flame-resistant pawpads can create the appropriate friction.
When caught at the pointed end, the ball becomes a round blossom similar to a dahlia, which can cast plant-based spells. The motions and tricks Braggato performs with the bilboquet are mesmerizing, and also quite dangerous when applied to battles.
Braggato is quite proud of its skills with the bilboquet, so much so that it can be overconfident. It can become too much of a showboater and lose itself in its performance, leaving it open to attack. Its pompous attitude can also come off as annoying, so teammates may not get along with it. Braggato's true weakness, however, is being ignored - it craves attention, and if it does not get an audience for its performances, it becomes sad and discouraged, causing it to underperform in its battles. It takes a skilled trainer to temper Braggato's overconfidence while still encouraging its impressive abilities; those that do will find a valuable battle partner and an endearing little entertainer in Braggato.
