Brooklyn mother fucking Chocolate Stout. I love the hell out of this stuff
That sounds delicious.
I added the MF part, but yeah good stuff. It's an imperial so a little boozy (in a good way).
No booze relaxes me more than imperial stout—I'm just sapped of all energy. I should stock some just for insomnia purposes.
Plus, it's a meal in and of itself!

So what you're saying is that I should drink more of it.

I'm not a doctor—well, not the good kind—but I think if you care about your health, yes, you should drink plenty of them.

I special ordered 6 of these as holiday gifts for my boozy friends.

It's a very, very good peach brandy from Croatia, only 56 proof (28% alcohol), and too tasty for its own good.

My dad always made us drink fruited brandy (plum, I remember) from eastern europe when I was a kid. Shit was disgusting. Maybe I'd like it more these days, but I doubt it.

When we went to the motherland (Slovakia), I really enjoyed Borovicka which I guess is similar to gin (it's Juniper berry based).
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm not overly keen on fruited brandy, but I am a fan of cognac in the winter. I normally pick up a bottle once the weather really turns bad.

You're probably thinking of Slivovitz, a type of rakija (raki, in some Slavic languages), which is indeed very harsh.

Drank a bunch of that shit in 2012 as well on the trip. Def preferred Borovicka.

Magary to Hoy: Drop dead. :shifty:
Who’s worse? Beer Dorks or Bourbon (or Rye or American Whiskey or whatever) Dorks? I mean, I’m sure everybody agrees that Scotch Dorks are the worst, but I’m having trouble figuring out who’s the runner up for last place.
I have met beer snobs. I have met bourbon bastards who think that bourbon is the great American novel of liquors. I have even engaged in both these forms of snobbery myself.

My verdict: beer snobs are worse, if only because there are so MANY of them. Give any asshole a pricey IPA and suddenly they turn into Jim Koch, waxing on insufferably about hoppiness for hours on end. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to get drunk here. I like fancy beers and I’m glad that self-appointed brewmasters saw fit to churn out 50 billion different microbrews for American consumption. But enough is enough. Calm down with the beer snobbery. Don’t make me agree with a stupid Dilly Dilly ad.

It’s beer. Filing bank statements may be an unnecessary side effect of aging, but treating beer like jazz doesn’t have to be. Growing up, beer was cheap shit you drank so that you could vomit. That was the MAGIC of it. I refuse to let some beer snob analyze the fun out of such an inherently goofy and idiotic beverage. It’s fun to obsess over things, but don’t do it at the expense of me playing slap cup with a case of Miller Lite.

Bourbon, particularly cheap bourbon, is also used by enterprising drunks primarily as a way of getting drunk quickly. The bouquet of said bourbon is beside the point. HOWEVER, nice bourbon tends to be pricier than nice beer, and it tends to be consumed by older people, people more inclined to snobbery. I expect whiskey people to be snooty about their liquor. Whereas beer snobs can suddenly materialize at picnics and behind the bar at brewpubs and anywhere else that would be diverting and harmless if Vince didn’t decide that HERE was the best place to lecture everyone about German beer purity laws. Over the past two decades, beer snobbery has become a national epidemic. I’m ready for Juul nnobbery to take its place. My kids will be at college one day and some asshat will regale them with his review of a fiddlehead fern-flavored vaping oil. That guy will suck.
