Enjoying a 12 year Glenfiddich. Nothing fancy, but it is really delicious. I'm not a huge fan of scotch, but I'm working on it!
Tat just like we talked about it takes some building of the palet. Yesterday I had a few Corona's during the day. That evening a good friend moved back into town from Tx. So I did some Famous Grouse, Jameson, and he had Baileys while we smoked cigars. It was a great night.
Last night had a nice glass of Oban Scotch, then to finish my smoke I had a glass of McAllen. Both great scotches and went VERY well with the Alec Bradley Family Blend!
Today I had Pauwel Kwak in my new Pauwel Kwak glass. I love this glass...probably the most unique beer glass out there. Check it out here...it's pretty cool. And of course, the beer is really good too. Rather heavy on the malts, a bit of caramel, and rather thirst quenching. A very good Belgian beer, imo.

Do you work in the beer industry? This is not the first time that you have had a fairly rare beer in the glass produced specificaly for it. I know it is a bit hard to find some of the beers you have tasted, and getting that glass to go with it is even more difficult... Maybe it's because you live in the land of beer, or maybe it's because you are a beer-ninja..?
Today I roasted up some Guatemalan coffee beans and proceeded to misjudge how much to use with my new french press, resulting in some really strong, bordering on thermonuclear, coffee. I've been jacked up on caffeine for the entire evening. Good stuff though, can't wait to try it at a proper mix. Gotta love home roasting.
I know I've mentioned this before, but you should get hooked up with www.ratebeer.com or www.beeradvocate.com. They are both free and are huge tools in seeking out new beers to try. You can find out what's available in your area, find out about events, set up trades, and obviously, rate and read other's ratings about beer.

I will have to check them both out when I get back to NC. Thanks for the heads up... again haha
Last night it was Sam Adams Noble Pils. I was really surprised by this beer. It had a mild but nice hop presence up front followed with a rather strong cereal grain finish. I love the taste of grains so this one really hit the spot!
Last night, I had some Agwa (herbal liqueur made from bolivian coca leaves and other herbs/botanicals) with fresh squeezed lime juice and some simple syrup. Not bad, but I'll need something to cut the acidity of the lime next time - maybe just more sugar.
Nyquil .......... i've been sic for a few days and its the only way i can sleep through the night , then during the day water to flush mucinex down the hatch ............. and some chai tea as well
Anybody know of a good stout that falls in the 6% alcohol per volume of beer law in Alabama that is readily available? I really like guiness if that helps.
