Rostere Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 You know how orange juice and toothpaste really don't go well together? Well, yesterday I found out to my surprise that it works pretty much the other way for cognac. Having a sip of cognac after you've brushed your teeth works great (no questions). You learn something new every day. 1 "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Walsingham Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I tried some bourbon stout. Sorry to say I thought it was a mistake. I love stout, but the bourbon added a ...gloss finish... which over-wrote the subtler flavours.

ManifestedISO Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 A week and no drink ... what is wrong. With apologies to The Dude and white Russians everywhere (no, belay that last) I think I prefer caucasians with rum instead of vodka ... a white Cuban, if you will. I didn't realize coffee liqueur is rum-based anyway, so it tastes slightly more, uh, bien. All Stop. On Screen.
Walsingham Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Bought new gin. I'm just toying with trying it out. It's full on with the botanicals. 30 odd herbs and spices. "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Have 'discovered'* that black tea with copious cinnamon is delicious. Just make sure you vigorously mix the cinnamon into a paste with hot water before adding the tea and remaining water. *I was probably told to do this at some point. "It wasn't lies.

JadedWolf Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Hamster beer. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/507/1572/ The best Dutch "witbier" - a light coloured rather sweet, fruity beer. If you ever manage to get your hands on it, I highly recommend it. Perfect for sitting outside on a pleasant summer afternoon. 1 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Woldan Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Whiskey, Vodka, Beer. Had a little party yesterday. Don't remember the brands but the beer, it was Faxe of course! I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Guard Dog Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The strongest drink I've had this week was black coffee. But I had lot of that. My current work project is finished. There is nothing pressing to do around the house, and the Rays are playing at 12 so the dry streak ends today!

AGX-17 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Bulk 190 proof grain alcohol (danger: highly flammable. danger: very fun for pyromaniacs.) "WAR HAS CHANGED." "WAR NEVER CHANGES." "WAR HAS CHANGED." "WAR NEVER CHANGES." ...I need a drink. Actually, it might actually be cheaper to fuel a car with the stuff, at least it wouldn't encourage more misguided government subsidies for non-drinkable ethanol production (seriously, stop it, corn is meant to make people look like beavers while eating, not propel automobiles.)

Walsingham Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Actually had a corked wine yesterday. Can't remember the last time that happened.

Raithe Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Graham's Crusted Port, 2004. Along with some single blend whiskey that had a faint chocolate taste. That was slightly quirky. Edited May 18, 2014 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
