It's Sunday folks. What you got? Pic related, same glass and all. will bump with more

also got this, it's the only Ommegang that ever comes to my city

This Nickel Brook is what I drank a min ago, didn't enjoy it as much as the Bolshevik Bastard.

[Anonymous No.6095490]

Also this for later, have not tried the single barrel but I figure I'll do it up neat

[Anonymous No.6095496]

>>6095490
I'm an alc pleb. Please explain the taste difference between single barrel and whatever else whiskey there is.

[Anonymous No.6095506]

>>6095496
>http://knobcreek.com/our-products
this is a differentiation in their specific product to compare. the proof is higher, for one thing.
Single barrel whiskies themselves are selected from a specific cask rather than being blended amongst other barrels. Gives a more unique taste.
That being said, some places are full of shit and blend a bunch of barrels into a single cask and call that single. So I will see how it differs from other Knob Creek products I've tried.

[Anonymous No.6095508]

>>6095496

Literally, all it means is that the whisky was aged in one barrel, and whatever was in that barrel got bottled without blending with whisky from other bottles.

It has all kinds of other connotations though. Typically single barrel american whiskies tend to be higher alcohol level (normal people dilute it a bit, spergs will try to sip it at 120 proof). It's implied to be higher quality and sometimes that's true too.

[Anonymous No.6095509]

>>6095484

Look you faggot, there are already 2 alcohol threads.

Fucking moron.

[Anonymous No.6095511]

>>6095506
I see. Thank you. So what's the price difference, typically?

[Anonymous No.6095512]

>>6095509
neither of them seemed to center around what people are consuming today, so I thought this would be an okay place.

[Anonymous No.6095517]

>>6095511
depends where you are. I'm a Canuck so I pay out the ass for liquor and beer. I'd imagine in the States it's not so bad because I got this particular bottle at the Duty Free on the way back home. 33 bucks American versus around 65 CND

[Anonymous No.6095521]

>>6095517
It's high in Washington state, too. We privatized our liquor sales and shit skyrocketed.

If you were to order a glass of single barrel and a glass of regular whiskey, let's say both Knob Creek, what are we looking at? 2 dollar difference?

[Anonymous No.6095532]

>>6095521
>>6095517
I was wrong about 65 bucks, I just checked my province's liquor website and Knob reg goes for 45 whereas single is 54. Not sure about one glass vs the other as bars can differ and no one in my shithole city serves good whisky anyhow.

[Anonymous No.6095536]

>>6095532
Ah well that's not too bad, bottle-wise. Thanks anon. In that case the price per glass wouldn't be that extreme. I'll try single next time.

[Anonymous No.6095541]

>>6095487

That's a shame. Their Hennepin Saison and Abbey Ale are much better, in my opinion. Got a bottle of Three Philosophers sitting around but haven't gotten around to trying that yet, perhaps for new years.

[Anonymous No.6095549]

>>6095541
Abbey Ale and Three Philosophers are the ones I really want. I hate not being able to ship beer across the border, plus I have to be there for 48 hours just to take some home.

[Anonymous No.6095559]

>>6095549

Abbey Ale is great, and at least in the States tends to be far more available and cheaper than good Belgian shit. It's one of my go-tos when I'm in the mood for a Belgian style beer.

[Anonymous No.6095564]

>>6095559
I've gotten more into Belgian style recently. Know any Canadian ones? I've got Unibroues from Quebec but havent found much else. Pic related I enjoyed.

Afraid not, my knowledge of Canadian breweries doesn't extend far beyond your standard Molson/Labatt, and Unibroue. Unibroue does make some good stuff though, Trois Pistole as you said, and La Fin du Monde.

Last night I had some late rummy eggnog with The Kraken in it.

[Anonymous No.6095656]

Guys, inform me please about some not dry RIS. All I know is picrelated, kinda sweet taste.

Opened up my Yamazaki Whisky for Christmas and it was beautiful. Very subtle, but refreshing flavour.

It's my first taste of a Japanese Whisky and I'm not disappointed

[Anonymous No.6095743]

>>6095656
The Fuller's I initially posted I found to be fairly sweet tasting.

Thanks, but I can't find it in my country. At least I have Troubadour and sweet La Trappe Quadrupel.

[Anonymous No.6098859]

>>6097806
Fuck man, I do love beer, living in northern France, drinking lot of local and artisanal beer as well as the belgian trappists (Orval or the Westvleterren are my favourite, but I also love the Chimay or Westmal). And few weeks ago I tried the Trappe Quadrupel (the purple one I think), and what the fuck. It tastes like bad rhum.
I understand some people might love it but I don't know how. I find the alcohol taste too strong, it destroys the other flavors.

Also, the only beer that I have right now is some Fischer, we can call it piss. And don't try their "ambré", it is some fucking soda with sugar and caramel, fucking disgusitng.

Nothing fancy tonight, I just drank some of Sam Adams. Then I drank a Heineken. Is it just me, or does it taste like shit when you switch beers? Like, ordinarily, I can drink Heineken without gagging, but after a few Sam Adams, it tasted like rotten chocolate.

Lismore Speyside Single-malt Scotch (at least 10 swallows today)
2 Buried Hatchet Stout from Southern Star Brewery
Since this is /ck/ I'll include the cooking I did, which consisted of hash oil heavy cream, used in a dark roast via french press after boiling hash oil in heavy cream for 15min.

Just finished some bacon and eggs w/toast and some (previously homemade) pecan pralines on the side. Some more scotch now. Watching too much Mad Men.

Great day off!

Shit happens brah. Recently I have tried Trappistes Rochefort 10, that taste was so horrible. Million times worse than "totally similar" St. Bernardus Abt 12. Pic related, Rochefort yeast.

[Anonymous No.6100087]

I guess everyone has it own tastes (Well it is not a big discovery), because I love the Rochefort 10 (and the St. Bernardus 12).

I felt heartburn after 1 swallow of Rochefort. That's why I think it's not subjective problem, that one bottle was defective.

I've been way into craft beer for a long time, but recently I started exploring whiskey. Bought a bottle of Lagavulin and this is easily my favourite whiskey yet. Doesn't really taste like any other whiskey I've tried before. Really good.

Trying this, got it for Christmas. Not bad, going to let it warm up before I make any real judgments though. Feels a bit...thin, I might be too used to big imperial stouts.

I got a bomber of their whiskey barrel libertine. I don't know when I want to open it. on one hand, I want it asap because that shit is so good. on the other hand I want to hold off and maybe share it with some friends that could appreciate it. Problem is that few of my friends really drink, and I don't think any of them drink good beer seriously. The worst thing is that I know one guy that I think could really appreciate good beer, but he has fucking Celiac's. It's infuriatingly ironic.

try it a couple of different ways and see what you like the most

three most common are:
neat (aka straight at room temperature)
on the rocks (with an ice cube or two)
with a splash of water (a few drops)
