What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Old fashion. Mad men style

Is Madmen style the same as regular style?

 

[jamespowers]

Yeah, I usually start there and end up with 3/4 part vermouth, 3 parts Templeton, and as many splashes of bitters as I can manage to hit the glass with... its never just one drink...

I leave it out entirely and end up with an Old Fashioned.

 

[jamespowers]

Okay I did it.
I got the variety 6 pack at Kroger.
You make your own, choosing from 15-20 different beers (from what they had on hand).
Four are dark, one is a pecan Stout, and one is a Killians Irish Red (I always liked that).
My reviews will be daily, as I drink each one to see what it tastes like.

Lots of eggs too

Sugar, bitters,splash of club, or water, swish around edge of glass and add rye or bourbon and ice. Don't know if that is regular or mad men, but I just call it mad, think it sounds cool.

Lots of eggs too

Always keep eggs on hand.
2 people eating 3 eggs a day, we go through them quickly.

Killians Irish Stout tonight.
Dark in color, the roasting isn't as strong as Guinness Extra Stout but close.
And the alcohol doesn't seem to be as high.
Not bad, maybe a bit above average.
Tomorrow night, the Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan.
I'm looking forward to trying that one, gets good reviews.

Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan Beer.
A hint of pecan/nuttiness.
Not a really dark beer, but not light.
I could live with this, even though I prefer dark beer.
Unfortunately my nose is a bit stopped up, so maybe it has more of a nutty taste.
My official taster (my wife) said it was only a hint, so there you go.

Sounds like the regular way.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Beck's Sapphire.
An amber colored beer, with a slight hint of honey, and a higher than average alcohol content (6%).
It reminds me of Icehouse more than anything.
I don't see anything special about it.

Lot #40 Canadian Rye Whiskey

Lot #40 Canadian Rye Whisky on ice again tonight. I am eager to try its cousin Pike Creek Whisky. It is from Windsor Ontario where my wife's family lives. We visit often and my wife's brother lives on Pike Creek Road just up from the massive Hiram Walker storage shed compond.

I enjoyed the Pike Creek promotional video on their site.

Hmmmm... Never heard of it before. Might be worth a look.

Recently arrived in the good old NH booze stores. They actually have a decent Bourbon selection, usually at decent pricing.

My boss did the "bourbon trail" recently and was talking about this one. I had never heard of it but it does sound good.

Springbank 15 tonight, boys.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Newcastle Cabbie Black Ale.
This is really good.
Smooth, dark, and not as bitter as Guinness Extra Stout.
If they have this in the store next time, I might just get a 6 pack.

 

[DJH]

m0nk, I'm enjoying the Stagg Jr, but
I'd really like to try the George T Stagg. Only available in limited quantities so hard to find, but apparently better in every respect.

Both are made by Buffalo Trace, some of the many brands made at this distillery.
