Nope, unlike a lot of other bitters and liqueurs, Gammel Dansk was not made for any health benefits, real or imagined. Just for tasting good.

I believe it is potato based. Primary taste is Rowanberries, a lot of the bitterness is from Gentian root. The rest is secret, of course.

Sounds great. Let me know when you are arriving, we'll meet up.

My favourite red wine grape

Post is always behind around x-mas. But I sent a package to California a week after your snaps went out, and it is already there.

At least Salmiakki snaps is still reasonably priced. Has that bottle landed yet?

Finally some one made a beer just for me! Like a Belgian Blanche, but with only 5% alc. So light and refreshing. The mail order bride, who is the main beer drinker around here, loves it.

Super! I was going to send you a bottler if you didn't know it. Not to be missed for akvavit connoseurs.

Have you ever had Linie akvavit? Called that because it has crossed the "linie" ( Equator) twice. Is is filled in casks which are going to Australia by ship and back. Same way Madeira was matured back in the day. Wonderfully mellow.

Nope. Southern German beer is good. The Northern stuff is too hoppy and thin. For my taste, anyway. I'm sure the Northern Germans think differently.

A German brewery has started brewing this after the original recipe. All profits go to support Ukraine. So one can get drunk and do a good deed at the same time. Great idea! If the beer had been good, it would have been an even better idea.

I'm putting this in the drinks thread, because I think that is were it belongs. A really good, well explanained history of Absinthe, the green fairy or as my Swiss wife says: "Gifee". When I refound the mail order bride after 40 years, she plied me with a bottle of Absinthe from before it was...

I had a glass of that in a Hotel in Prag once. Company summer trip. Was wonderful. Enjoy.

My testicle operation has gotten infected. So I'm eating penicilline while feeling like I've been kicked in the groin by a Giraffe. Doubt I'll make it to work this year. So, feeling sorry for myself, since nobody else are ( the mail order bride will sidle up to me, cuddle and ask: So, how about...

Maasdam is a place, not a family.

I was dogsitting for a friend, who was hiking in France. He brought me some cider from Bretagne. Most excellent stuff.

Best beer I ever had was German. After I ran afoul of the powers in charge of certifying arborists in Denmark, Richard and I went to Germany to test. ( And after flunking twice in Denmark, passed with flying colors . One censor said: flunking you clearly showed, they aren't worthy of the job)...

Rauchbier, that is pretty unusual.

My experience is that those cut from fresh wood works better. As for lighting them up, redneck way is best. large dash of diesel, small dash of gas, toss a match.......burn, motherfucker, burn!

Sounds like a hipster thing.
