Favourite alcoholic beverage?
« on: October 27, 2014, 12:18:19 pm »
For me personally an all year round drink for me is Newcastle brown ale, I can drink that in the heat of summer to get wasted or to company nice food. I'm also a big Leffe Blonde drinker which is from Belgium (best lager makers in the world) it has a incredible full body taste.

In winter I love Jack Daniels either neat or with a drop of coke, to me the 25th of December is just another day without a bottle of JD.

If I'm on holiday by the beach and do not have access to my beloved booze I'd be sipping daqueries all day until I'm a drunken mess.

So, what's your favourite booze?

Belgians aren't big on lagers. Stella is the most widely circulated Belgian lager. Leffe makes some good blonde and brown ales though. Also try Gouden Carolus, Chimay, St Bernardus, Trappiste Rochefort, tripel Karmeliet, Kasteel's offerings, and any others you can find.

Anymore I drink whatever. I prefer craft beer, good aged rum or bourbon. I tend to drink whatever I can afford. Lately it's been Evan Williams white label (100 proof bottled in bond) and PBR for cheap beer. I love craft beer but it's expensive and if I'm going to get drunk I don't really care about the taste.

A strong yet smooth White Russian.. nothing else will suffice.

 But when not readily available, Wild Turkey Honey and JD Devils cut will get me where I need to be.. an generally, it's a faster trip.

Glenfiddich 12Yr or "The Glenlivet" 12Yr.


not a beer man so when im drinking something cheaper then scotch I drink Seagrams VO,   Specter knows how that shit works out haha.

Edit:  here is the "Official" tasting results for VO.......I dare you to try it.

Quote
Nose: Closed at first, then slowly opening into mild rye notes with a hint of spirit. Fresh farmyard smells, earthiness, cigarette ashes, suggestions of dry grain, and a vaguely floral essence give it an organic feel. Then a slight sweetness and ripe fruitiness develop into hints of cream sherry, followed by more mild floral notes. Soon some woody notes arrive, not obvious, but noticeable, with cedar and newly-cut lumber. This is not an overly expressive whisky. Yes, V.O. certainly has plenty of aromas – wood, sweet rye spices, dry grass, and vague notes of pickles, but although they are varied they could never be described as prominent.

Palate: Starts hot with pepper and alcohol. An appealing bitterness lingers under the full gamut of classic rye notes, including earthiness, freshwater plants, hints of pickles, a flash of flowers, and lots of baking spices – cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and then some ginger ale. But there is a contradiction in that it is alternately dry at moments, then sweet and creamy. The slight caramel-like sweetness never cloys, but nicely frames shades of bourbon-like vanilla pod. The hot pepper develops into a real burn. Although it has the spirity notes of a classic mixing whisky, the body has a pleasing weight. And though there are ripe fruits, it never becomes overly fruity. If it sounds like there is a lot going on here, there really isn’t. There are lots of flavour suggestions, but it’s really not very complex. The zestiness feels good – almost tannic in its astringency and there is a rewarding underlying woodiness. Vague hints of apple juice are the first really well-defined flavour and are followed by some sweet citric notes. Pleasing.

Finish: Medium to short. Peppery with some heat, and sweet with a citric bitter zest that fades fairly quickly to nothingness.

Empty Glass: Barkeep’s Sunday morning, tidying up after Saturday night at the local bar. Very faint hints of beer, a slight sourness, and cigarette ashes then grain, mild caramel, a bit of wood, dry grass, hints of vanilla, and a slight dustiness.

While I'd agree with Stella being the most popular in bars and is widely more common and much cheaper than Leffe, you still can buy it as a premium bottle.

I also like some craft beers, recently had a taste for some ipa's, but more than likely could not sit there all night slamming them.

Leffe isn't lager, that was my point I guess.

Anything but franzia or other super sweet wines, that's the only thing that bothers me is when it is too sweet.

No I'm just not a wine snob. The cost and the label don't make a wine good. Quality wine can be had for <$10 a bottle.

I don't get what you called me out on, I said that I like drinking wine. You're just a prick.
