If you can find it, try Southern Tier Creme Brulee stout. Heavenly stuff. At 9.6%, I couldn't detect any alcohol whatsoever.

Southern Tier's 2x stout is worth a try as well. Lastly, don't hesitate to give Sam Adams Cream Stout a try.

You could think of gin as basically vodka spiced with botanicals. The main flavor associated with gin is Juniper, from juniper berries. So don't think that just Beefeater has the botanicals added, its all gins. There are of course, gins that are more juniper/botanical taste forward than others however. I think that's really what the deciding factor is between brands, slightly different formulas. Tanqueray 10, for example, is knock your socks off spicy. Hendricks is much more balanced, and the juniper takes a few steps back.

Now this super spicy Gin you're talkin about here, this sounds like something I've been looking for. I love the heat, the burn. Any other Gins you know of (or any other drinks honestly) that can be called firey hot?

I enjoy scotch very much as well, so let there be no mistake: you can't compare gin to whiskey, they're just too different. That said, go for something that's 20-25 dollars. That's the sweet spot for price. If you can get it, try Broker's. If not, Bombay Sapphire is great too.

I disagree. Gordon's is pretty juniper forward, definitely makes for a flavorful gin and tonic imo.

>>5309498
So? Old Grand Dad (bourbon) is on the floor as well, and it's probably better than Jim Beam/Jack and the likes. I've also seen buffalo trace on the bottom shelf. Gordon's is a good value for the money, esp for mixing. If you look around you'll find most people agree. If you're drinking a martini though, or you want to drink it straight, definitely throw down a few more bucks for something a little smoother.

Same poster:

I was not trying to shit on your post, just a little.. The problem with IPA, DIPA, APA etc is that there are very few breweries that are international that make them. Their beers are generally ok, and sometimes pretty good, but they never match the quality of local microbreweries I think. Like, I can go out drinking at a place near me and find 10 beers that taste better (to me, but generally has a fuller, more balanced taste that blooms) than the Lagunitas.

So, for a widley known and produced IPA it's pretty good. Definitely better than the Brooklyn East Indian Pale Ale for example.

I'll look out for those 3 or 4 then, good on ya son.

Scotch we got blends and single malts obviously, the latter being quite pricey.

Talkin blends then I personally keep on hand the following:

Teacher's Highland Cream (around 15-20 bucks for 750ml)
Chivas Regal 12/18 (Gettin pricey here now)
Black Label (Also a bit pricey, like starting at what 20 bucks for a 375 ml)
You could go a step down and get Red Label, but I personally don't like the stuff.

I'd personally avoid like the plague anything by Dewars (especially 12), got that shit was bad lol.

My dad was also talking about Finlaggan being pretty good and cheap (it's also a single malt as well)

Apparently Black Bottle is supposed to be good lower shelf scotch as well. Never found a bottle to try though.

The rest of the stuff becomes hard to find or single malt, which starts at like 80/90$ a bottle, and that's your glen morange, glen livet, japanese single malts like yamazaki (which if you can try, i'd recommend)

NO.

i fucking hate this hipster "i love IPAs" wave right now. 10 years ago IPAs were something that no-one gave a shit about here or any of the other places i visited/lived at. and now it's like
>oooo i'm drinking an IPA
>you got it because of the "hip" label, didncha?
>uh......er....

as i am currently a few hours away from prague i will now go hunt for some good czech beers for this saturday night.

Mostly this.

I like IPA's but they are wildly overrated and too popular. However, they are responsible for getting a lot of people to explore beer, so you have to appreciate them for that reason.

I have been really getting into stouts and porters, I simply love the flavor profile.

In the summer I'll consume more wheat beers. I am looking for a lighter warm weather beer I can enjoy. I'm not really a fan of blondes or lagers all that much, but if anybody has any kind of recommendation I would be pleased to hear it.

i wont. remember when it was fad to learn something or pretend to know something about wine? i do and i'm glad its over and i dislike wine. i like beer so....you can imagine.

its just sad its happening to beer. go to old watering holes and all they sell is overpriced designer beer. brewed after the secret formula deliviered by fairies which requires yeti piss.at least with whiskey/scotch/and other harder spirits there is a entry price that most hipsters cant afford on a regular basis. same goes for cigars.

huh. 4 police cars, 2 ambulances, and a fire rescue truck just went by....

Of course I have douchenozzle. If I could still buy it for around $100 like it used to be for MANY fucking years I would buy the odd bottle here or there, I mean its good for something different.

But fuck the hype surrounding pappy products these days is outrageous. All because of some fag fucking journalists pumped it up, and the fact its a limited release doesnt mean its good, they just dont make much of it. Fuckheads like yourself are buying hype and exclusivity for super inflated prices.

All of you must be told.

Albertsons Blended scotch is something kind of really cool.

It's harsh, Peaty and sweet. And I'm telling you all it's worth 10 bucks for a bottle.

I've had glenlevit, Laphroge and so on. I think my tastes must be shit but I don't care. I'm really enjoying this 10 dollar bottle of scotch.

Not that guy, but I was at the store and saw some Chillwave and remembered this post, and decided to try it out.

It's pretty damn good indeed. Smooth and mellow and finishes with a nice juicy bite. And near 10% too. A dangerous beer for sure.

This shit is really nice. Like root beer should taste.
sprecher brewery's gourmet root beer is really something. It has a after taste, But if you let it switch in you're mouth ir's realy something.

Oh my god. I've never drank this much without food in me. I'm having a blast.

I'm unsure what to tell you my friend.

I've drank four glasses with water and feel like vomiting. But there's nothing in my stomach.

All I can tell you is that if you are not someone who can tell scotch by taste it is something of a uniquely pleasant find.

I honestly do not know why I like it. it SIMPLY TASTES LIKE A LESS SWEET GLINLEVIT WITH SOME TAMPERING.

I ON'T KNOW WHY THAT IS. and I'M STARITING TO WORRY OVER IT.
