    +1 the Balvenie.

    I reckon Its on a par with the Glenmorangie Quinta Rubin, but maybe im just splitting hairs.

    On the odd occassion im sipping either, i can feel my level of sophistication rising.

    Nice...I see brandy on the horizon...

    I'm drinking Bacardi - white rum.

  • Bacardi white rum...again. It's nothing special, nothing objectionable, happily goes down and it's cheap.

    I'm more like I am now than I was before.

  • I do like me some aromatic hops

  • That one's got'em.
    They extract the hop oils from wet hops right out in the hop fields. With the beer glass sitting on the table a few feet away, the beer smells like a bag of T90 pellets. Well balanced though. A very nice beer.

    Not for saving though. Hop aroma faded quickly.

    Never acquired a taste for black IPAs. Dark grain flavors and hop bitterness are at odds, IMHO.

    But hey, it looks good on you! :D

    I wrote fades on purpose.

  • Smoked Plymouth martini up with 3 Gouda stuffed olives. Mmmmmm

    It was worth a try. Good beer but not ranking on the top of my list.

    The Woodford was really nice and oaky with the ice

  • There is two camps of Black IPA or what i prefer to call Cascadian Dark Ale.
    One is a regular black beer done with some roast barley for darkness and bitterness and lots of hops and the other is a regular IPA done with roast wheat or dehusked roast barley to remove the acrid roast flavours that usually come with roast barley.
    It's an illusion, a sleight of hand that makes your brain expect a porter or stout and your mouth receive a hoppy pale ale.

    My recipe is in the second camp. B-)

  • I tried a couple of flights of Cascadians while in Seattle last spring (an amazing selection of fresh beers available in that town!). It was the dark roasted grain flavors that clashed with the assertive IPA hop bitterness that I did not like. If the husks are removed, the dark grains are mostly there for color. An illusion indeed.

    I'm more like I am now than I was before.

  • I use a malt called Midnight Wheat. It has no husk in the first place.

    As tp what's in the glass, we have found a type of Rice spirit called Lao Chen Jui. I've been drinking the weakest one at 38% but they get up to the 60"s.

    It's a really nice flavourful spirit with poor cuts floral anf fruity, but there are some here that are actually undrinkable. One bottle we bought on the first night smelt EXACTLY like pure foreshots and was tipped down the sink without tasting.

  • So, you have to fly to China to buy some exclusive duty free Scotch Whiskey at Shanghai Airport that you can not get in Austria? :-O

  • Is it a dirty lager? It looks like it's parading as a proper ale, but i bet it's a filthy lager.

  • My wife is at some hoitsy toitsy company get together in Naples and in HER glass last night was Pyrat Rum. Her boss told her and everyone else that it was $103 a glass. She said it tasted a lot like mine but she is no rum expert.

  • Clarification on the rum; that was 2 shots per glass.

  • Plus she loves you :))
