What are you drinking?

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Bleach.

Have anything harder?

 

[pkt77242]

A couple of ounces of Ardbeg Rollercoaster. 57.3% should numb me. Right?

 

[Rack Em]

Have anything harder?

Valium dissolved in bleach and rat poison.

I'm hoping to not wake up.

I'll be happy to join you. 12-0 is a distant memory and despite the koolaid gang still in full force, everything is not fine.

I drank it all and I'm not sorry.

 

[pkt77242]

I am drinking something that is not strong enough.

 

[Junkhead]

Water now. Trying to make tomorrow better.

Don't bother. Just end it.

I got home last night after a very long and stressful day at work. I was looking forward to relaxing with some bourbon. I had a few while watching "Thunderball" letting the unpleasant events of the weekend just fade from my mind.

I guess I underestimated how tired I was, because I wound up dropping off to sleep with no warning. Now I still had a glass of bourbon in my hand, resting on the arm of my chair. I was startled back to wakefulness when the glass rolled out of my hand and spilled all over my leg. It was a decent amount of bourbon; I think my recliner has alcohol poisoning. So remember kids, always put your drink on a coaster so you don't wind up wearing it.

 

[dshans]

Been there, done that. Well, not the Thunderball part, but a tumbler of bourbon is a terrible thing to waste.

Yes Sir. Had to try the George T. Stagg Jr I picked up Saturday. The original plan was to enjoy it after defeating Michigan.

134.7 uncut never tasted so smooth. A few drops of water completely changed it for the better. Very good, but its no GTS Sr!

I was contemplating picking up a bottle of this recently, but the 134 ABV put me off. I'm not a fan of liquid fire. But I'll give it a try now that I read this.

It's good not great lots of better choices in the 50-60 range, but I will try anything that comes out in the GTS line.

Without water. Hardly any profile and no lingering flavors...maybe some cherry and oak

With water...chocolate. And with 5 minutes of breathing really opens up nice and delivers a strong bouquet of flavors of spice and gingerbread.

 

[NDinMich]

Gulden Draak 9000. Hoping this takes the sting out of taking a line drive off the back during softball tonight!

 

[pkt77242]

Deschutes Black Butte XXV.

A big American Porter 11.3% and full of cherries, figs, vanilla, caramel, and some bourbon notes.

Have you ever tried the BTAC George T Stagg's? Or for that matter the BTAC William Larue Weller's?

I've heard good things, but neither is available in Delaware. I'll probably have to look at getting them from another state.

You should. Even though both have high abv (GTS in the low 70's, and WLW in the mid 60's) they are two of the best Bourbons out there. If you ever want tasting notes, just ask. Though if I do all of them in one night I might be a little tipsy (I have 5 GTS and 3 WLW).

Alright pkt77242, I have a challenge for you -

I need a few recommendations for a good craft beer for the weekend. I'm looking for something that is not very bitter, and also not very "heavy". Other than your standard light beers, some of the beers I enjoy occasionally are Stella Artois, Bell's Oberon, Leinenkugels Summer Shandy, and Rolling Rock, so that gives you an idea of where I am at. Also it would obviously need to be available in my neck of the woods (Indiana). There is a liquor store nearby that sells a ton of micro brews, so if it is sold in this area, I'm confident they would have it. Thanks in advance for your help!

3 Floyd's Gumballhead (since you are in Indiana) or Sierra Nevada Kellerweis. I will think some more on it and post some other ideas. Also if they have German beers you could go with Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

Thank you sir! They sell many craft beers by individual bottle, so I might have to try all three, but I know the Sierra Nevada is a 6 pack. What kind of flavors would I expect from these 3?

Thanks again.

Gumballhead: tropical fruits, banana some wheat.
Kellerweis: banana, lemon, wheat, yeast and spice
Weihenstephaner: banana, citrus, clove, spices.

Also if you see Lagunitas Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale yo could get it. Tropical fruits, citrus, banana and wheat.

[Whiskeyjack]

Can't recommend Weihenstephaner highly enough. Every single one of their beers is either best in class for its style, or damn near close to it.

Boiler you won't find Gumballhead anywhere in a bottle. They can't keep up with the demand. If you do find it though let me know. I will then proceed to buy out the entire stock. You should be able to find Weihenstephaner though.

I have also yet to find Lagunitas in Indy :/

Gotcha, thanks for the info my man. I will peruse my local retailer and report back on my findings.

They don't distribute to Indiana, but they may start soon. Lagunitas is apparently in the process of opening a huge brewery in Chicago.

What other Weihenstephaner do you recommend Whiskey? The one pkt mentioned scared me a bit, as I am not a fan of the clove flavor.

Well you probably won't like German weitzens then, as that clove flavor is pretty prominent in most of them. My favorites are their Hefeweissbier, Hefeweissbier Dunkel, and Weizenbock; but all of those are heavy on clove.

You might enjoy some of their lagers-- the Original, Pilsener or Doppelbock.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I shall return with my full report upon completion of my tasting.
