What Are You Drinking Tonight?

This is very good. I saw it when I was shopping for jul alcohol. You don't often see much in the way of akvavit. It loses points for using caramel color, but it's smooth and flavorful.

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.

I have! I think I have a bottle open somewhere. It is very good. My other two are Aalborg, which is ok, but better for shooting than sipping, and Krogstad which is very good. Leans more heavily into the anis flavors. That one's from Oregon.

 

[stig]

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

Doppelbock was excellent, as most are. All were good, as my luck usually has it...

What do you think of the various weird beers Brian? You know, stuff with flavors, and very outside the traditional range. I've had bad luck picking them out. Seems like there's always off flavors, or balance is off, or it's just wrong. I'm not a beer purist at all. The flavors are appealing to me, but they seldom seem to work. I end up spending a bunch of money on some strange microbrew, and wish I had put the money into something from Germany or Britain.

Fat fingered the button on my phone, and took a short video, but I thought it was apropos

A Schlenrkerla on a candle. Interesting....

Weird beers, it depends. The coffee and chocolate flavored ales usually hit the marks, as do the infrequent Nut Browns. Schwarzbiers and reds (both ales and lagers) rarely miss the mark. Imperials, Double and Triples rarely miss as well (and are usually very boozy... ) The occasional blueberry ale and cranberry lambics are about as far out as I want to go, although the occasional fruity Belgian Lambics are sometimes nice as desserts. Everything else I purposely avoid...

 

[stikine]

Not bad. Even comes with a tin cup.

Getting ready to watch ANOTHER Bermuda Triangle expose on the telly.
Quite a pleasant drop.

Usually try not to do so much sugar, but last night I had a really good horchata. Might actually have some left in the fridge…

Haha, Ed you need to step it up a bit.

A few years ago they had Miller packed in retro cans. I love retro packaging, so of course I had to get some. Plus it's union made! Well, the cans looked nice... :^D

Currently sampling "Garrison Brothers Small Batch Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey"

Sadly, I'm not impressed.

 

[stikine]

These are pretty good...if you like triple IPAs.

I was looking for a box to put recycling in, and found beer I forgot I bought, so I had one. Powerful in the alcohol, and the flavor is... interesting. I have one left, but I don't think I'll get it again.

 

[stig]

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.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Some Miller LItes with the Folks.

[stikine]

That's some strong whiskey!

 

[SeanKroll]

I shot of whiskey.
