Emooze Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Glenfiddich 12, was the closest bottle to my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Schlafly and Brunello both look good. Glenfiddich sounds nice, but the double old fashioned makes me WANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absorbine_Sr Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 And it was very tasty. Is it wrong to have another on a Sunday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 ^How is it? I have been wanting to try out my walnut liqueur in some drinks. Since I can walk short distances with one crutch I should be able to get back to mixing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Tasty. I think another is in order do Mike doesn't feel bad. It might work with bourbon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 A nice standard double old-fashioned to join Mike and Al. Will be nice to have you back mixing again Shelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absorbine_Sr Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Amen to Shelly coming back to mixing. As Jim can attest, I am still an apprentice and need inspiration from the good cocktail kids here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelius Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Fantôme de Noël from Brasserie Fantôme...best x-mas beer I've had this year...a 10% brew that I could drink all season were it cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Had to go in early as shit today to finish up a job for monday inspection, which also means very little to do on monday, so It's beer night at casa de fitz. Started off with Stone IPA, then an Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale, and now finishing off a 750 of La Fin du Monde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffy Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Had a shitty day and felt under the weather so I'm treating myself to a KBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) 2011 Deschutes Abyss. Kinda underwhelmed, I'm getting a distinct licorice taste which I'm not a big fan of. Overall good but not really feeling the licorice finish. KBS is still king of imperial stouts in my book.

Voltron Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 At least you're not feeling under the weather anymore, hopefully. The Abyss takes some time in the bottle from my recent experience. If you have a couple more, keep them for a year or so. I'm going to drink my KBS one of these days, but I should also be receiving a metric shit ton load of Fifty-Fifty Eclipse pretty soon. Looking forward to checking out this year's crop.

Voltron Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'd down a few of those pretty happily. For the moment, however, I am drinking a nice Ragnarok that you sent me and it feels like the end of an age: Thanks Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emelius Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 HaandBryggeriet Nissefar Norwegian Holiday Ale... this is quite good, but, for whatever reason, it smells like olives & that's putting me off... was suggested by Hoptopia, but I'm sure Lee had it on tap & didn't encounter the same nose...

Absorbine_Sr Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 For the moment, however, I am drinking a nice Ragnarok that you sent me and it feels like the end of an age: Thanks Mike! You are welcome sir. I am reconciling with the accursed Floyds, so there will be more in the future. And now for me, a nice Junipero Martini with jalapeño olives.

shellylh Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since my surgery. Having an early celebratory Liberal*! I do love this drink. *This drink took me like 5 hours to make, walking back and forth to the liquor cabinet, on one crutch, carrying one bottle at a time.
