Mourning my last drop of a very moreish 10 year old / 40 year old 1980s Glenmorangie. Very subtle compared to the modern version.
A 6% victory ale is helping me get over it :0)
.

 

Picked this up on a whim.

I really like it. Different then a US or UK IPA.
It’s clean like an original IPA, but hopped to the level of a California IPA.

 

I do like a drop of Port, and this is very nice..

 

I thought I would experiment today - Badger Beer - the Cranborne Poacher - described as rich and fruity (I like ruby ale) and a respectable 5.7%.... but far too fruity for me. It reminds me of a raspberry and white chocolate bar I had once... which took me rapidly back to 90% Lindt dark.... so not a hit for me.... but one mans meat is another's poison and all that.. cheers on a Sunday everyone.

 

I like port but I am not a connoisseur… and I tend to drink it like Wine.... so it ends badly :0)

 

Your new drinking vessel perhaps …….
.

 

You're not alone...! Saving a bottle of Graham's 1980 that I was given for Christmas - that will be a treat. Generally imo you can't go wrong with Graham's - especially the late bottled vintage..

 

High hopes for this but it turned out to be rather mediocre.

 

Goes well with Coke - a little too well!

 

As South Africa’s ban on alcohol sales continues, finished off this bottle to make sundowners...

 

Sundowners up on lion’s head is an experience I remember fondly. Cheers!

 

Lion’s Head is one of my favorite late-afternoon/evening hikes in the Mother City. It’s just across the city bowl from my office.

 

I haven't looked at this thread in 2 weeks... It pains me :-(

I hope you have still plenty of supply left... Is alcohol sale still forbidden?

Oh dear... I hope you mean cocaine and not Coca-Cola! That would be such a pity

 

Hahaha - I'm afraid I mean the latter - I have a real weakness for good cognac & coca cola, but yes you are quite right...the cognac deserves better...

 

I'm sorry, but I can't give you a "like" for that

 

The truth is i developed a taste for brandy and coke after many holidays to Spain - you could get €3 1 litre bottles of brandy over there back in the day - I was encouraged to drink this by a very good Spanish friend of mine, who subsequently passed away, too young, from liver failure. I made a vow to never drink cheap brandy again...it really isn't worth it...

 

Presidente

I mistake I made once and only once.

 

Do as you please. There are no rules for cognac

I enjoy cognac on the rocks. I thought this was an oddity, but have been to several Hennessy tastings and discovered it’s quite common. A good number enjoy with club soda, lime based soda (sprite) or cola.

But...when @LesXL is over, we will make his pour straight up

 

Old Milwaukee Beer... a taste as great as its name.
