MOTHAFUCKIN' BOOZE TIME

[chimera]

Whilst on the cruise I had a berry version of a margarita, sorta.  It was called a "Berrylicious" and it had tequila, triple sec and sour mix along with blueberry puree and maybe some other kind of berry something.  It was delish, whatever tequila they used was incredibly smooth...but I'm such a lightweight of course.

I had Dogfish Head's new Black & Red beer at the DFH Alehouse yesterday. It was... bizarre.  It's a strong stout that's made with mint, which I'd hoped would mean mint-chocolate stout.  Yeah, not so much.  It was really complex, big roasted flavor along with raspberry/cherry notes and a minty overtone.  Or, to put it another way, mentholated coffee mixed with a bit of cough syrup.

I'm glad I got a chance to try it, but I don't think I'll be getting it again.  Nine out of ten times, Dogfish's crazy experiments work.  Black & Red is the tenth time.

That is a 2/3 sad post   Maybe even totally sad since the fact that it's getting discontinued almost makes the fact that it's good a bad thing   Sounds tasty though!

yeah, its really easy to drink straight. its only at about 20% or so though.

I saw some mini of "cake" flavoured vodka and had to try it.  It fucking tastes just like white cake!  I was both amazed and sickened at the same time.

I also want to try this.  They have it at the liquor store down the street.

the ways in which we try to play god...

I couldn't do it. Fish flavored booze... Just isn't right... *shakes head* How would you even drink it? Sip on it or shoot it? Cold or room temp? I'm just so confused, I feel wrong on a fundamental level...

Salmon has quite a clean flavour but I'm still not sure.

Drank some pretty good NZ pinot last night.

something similar to the oak aged yetti espresso beer, left hand brewing company milk stout

[Aaron]

I half assed some Russian Tea. (tang lemon aid iced tea powder) And I'm drinking it cold instead of hot. I can't say my first go at it is amazing. But its pretty good. Something I can improve on for sure...

Oh man, grapefruit ale sounds like it'd be a delicious summer afternoon beer.

I, having not been able to find Espresso Oak Aged Yeti, went for what I presume to be the next best thing: Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti. It's quite good. I thought there was a more pronounced alcohol burn than I'd expect from an aged stout with >10% ABV until I found out there's a pinch of cayenne in the brew.  Nice.

[doom]

yes, i must try this grapefruit ale, sounds strange and delightful.

the chocolate stouts pretty damn decent,
im not sure why the espresso is so hard to get a hold of.
i did some research online, and here:

it shows you where this beer can be located as of now.
hopefully one of the locations is near you.

Ah, thanks.  There's one not *too* far from me on that list; about a 25-minute drive, though not in a direction I typically go.  If I'm ever out that way I'll swing by and pick up a bottle.  My local shop has a good selection from Great Divide, so I'm pretty confident some bottles of the Espresso Yeti will show up eventually.
