Hi, this is a blog I put together quickly so that my girlfriend and I could post our thoughts on some of the things we drink. Right now, this is heavily centred around alcoholic beverages, but it might some day even encompass other beverages we enjoy, such as tea and coffee. Of course, the opinions expressed here are our own and may very significantly differ from yours (it's all a matter of taste, isn't it?), but, whether you agree or disagree with us, I hope it will be useful in some way, if only to introduce you to drinks or brands you didn't know existed. If you should have any comment on what you read here, please feel free to drop me a note at smassy at sdf dot lonestar dot org. For context's sake, know that we are currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where we arrived from Montreal in August 2005; hence, when we refer to something as local, it more or less means NS or, at its broadest, the Atlantic provinces. It also means that all prices reported here are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise specified. Price are also non-inclusive of taxes (15% in Canada), once again, unless otherwise specified. But that's boring stuff… Click on any category or subcategory to read entries more relevant to your interests and tastes. Happy drinking! Friday, October 14 2005
One of my all-time favourite beers. The taste is a perfect blend of malt, hops, and smoke, each coming in seperately, but ultimately merging for a unique taste. First comes the bitterness, then one can taste the slight sweetness of the malt, and, finally, a hint of charcoal--- but nowhere near enough to be uncomfortable--- which, once one adds the taste of the alcohol (which you can taste), does for a wondrous experience. However, do not expect to be able to guzzle down galons of this beer: it is rich and heavy, and, though the taste is delicious, it would most likely overwhelm the drinker if consumed in excess. The perfect beer for a fall or winter evening. [/Etc/Beer/Scotland] permanent link |
