Your favourite drink is 8.8%? Tried Special Brew?
Now onto Logan which is a blended whiskey. It's okay but can tell the drop off in quality.
Enjoyed this tonight why the wives drank some fruity shit. https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/...a-superstition
Nice. Though a bit too 'smokey' for me.
Nice. I'm always put off buying it because of the lame box.
It's decent, but there is better out there. Including from within the Jura family. Still, easily worth the £25 it's going for.
Has loyal regulars/beer wankers like myself.Quote:

There's some decent Belgian beer which is stupid percent. It doesn't all taste like arse biscuits.
Pirate Life is a brewery for the gods! Ill send you one if you like? Beer exchange!Quote:

My go to favourite is still the Aberlour 10 year old, almost always on deal in the supermarket and just so easy to drink. You tried it?
Im not sure you blokes realise but the coffee scene in Melbourne is really good and no where else in the world knows how to roast a fucking coffee bean
Ah yes, the coffee nazis, here to ruin you enjoyment of life.
On a coffee theme I had some of this last night:

Not bad.
Yeah that Patron is nice but the regular clear stuff is the devil's jizz. :sick:
Can any of you whisky boffins suggest a single malt for my dads Christmas present, for about £30? At the moment I'm considering this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...KL5A1OLE&psc=1

Not sure why that one is so cheap, unless I'm being blind and it's just on offer. Normally it's between thirty and thirty-five so if it's going for £23.50 that's a cracking of a deal that I may make the most of myself.
I mean, anything-bores are bad. Among people I know coffee is still the worst. I am a beer bore but at least I have the decency not to bang on about it unless a) it actually comes up in conversation and b) the person talking to me appears to actually be interested. There are people in work who talk about coffee all the fucking time and talk to me about it even though they all know I don't drink it.Quote:

I don't go into coffee places but walking into a 'craft' beer pub that's full of cunts in flatcaps and massive beards is always a touch disheartening.
I got him that one last year. :thbup:Quote:

What did he think of the Laphroaig? I mean, I fucking love Highland Park 12 but it's way easier-going than omething like a Laphroaig.
He never said he didn't like it. :sorry: My mum said he drank it. On Christmas Day he just seemed please than he got the deeds to a plot of land (or something?) included in the box.Quote:

I'd be classed as a beer bore by a lot of people too (I must look like a right cunt putting the growler in the car) but so long as you're not the sort of twat that would turn down a can of Bud in someone's house (followed by a 10 minute lecture about great IPA's) then you're ok.
I work with a coffee bore. He won't use the nespresso machine and instead wastes 15 minutes of his hour break making things with his contraption. That'd be fine if he likes it (even though it makes the tiniest amount) but most days he'll tell us why it's far superior, even though he must have picked up we don't give a fuck.
Not yet, no but I will give it a shot at some point I'm sure.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Laphroaig (and perhaps the whole Islay scotch industry) is just an elabotare wind up to make the most undrinkiable piss imagineable all whilst making it equally unpronounceable to really flush out the n00bz.
Ah yes, the taste of peat, a brown, soil-like material characteristic of boggy, acid ground, consisting of partly decomposed vegetable matter. Just what you want.
I wish I'd read that glowing review this time last year and got him something else. :stamford:
I was a massive coffee wanker this morning with the missus drinking TWO different single origin v 60 filter. First ethopian then Honduras followed up with a lunch time 4 pack of 7% American IPA to last the evening. I dont know why she puts up with me tbh
I'm an inverse coffee bore. Instant rules supreme.
I hope you go full-on, Jim.
"I mean, the thing about a sachet of Nescafe is..."
I'm fine, then. I was drinking Red Stripe on the train to a wedding reception recently.Quote:

Starbucks is next level. Their tall PikePla e roast (ie smallest size) has more caffeine than 3 average espresso shots. Gotta give them props for going all in on the addiction front
The beans taste like shit. I maintain that people who drink there only go because they like coffee flavoured milkshakes.
Those coffee flavoured milkshakes are pretty epic.
Shit. Blue Moon, Amstel, Something Orchard cider, red wine, Ron de Jeremy, cocktails, Sailor Jerry, Havana 7 and Krakken. Dying.
Quantities unknown.
Oh and Appleton estate. Loving rum.

Is peaty like peat, as in turf that you burn on a fire, or something different?
Yeah same stuff. Peat is burned and is used as part of the process of drying out grains.
Interesting. Makes sense though when you know.

Anyone had these four Brewdog beers?
Need to pick a present off the in-laws (to avoid getting a Lynx gift set) and saw this in the Morrisons magazine. Worth having?
They're all excellent.Quote:
