What are you Drinking?

[Liep]

Skovlyst Julebryg, a dark golden christmas ale. I can't really taste the pinewood or cinnamon it advertises, but then again I'm a little sick. It does have a nice hoppy finish though.

[Admiral Yi]

Yes.  You welshed on my oktobertits.

[derspiess]

I tried.  The tits just weren't there.

Believe me, it hurt me even more than it hurt you.

Tis the season for rum and eggnog.

[The Brain]

What does the eggnog replace?

What does the eggnog replace?

For me, nothing.  Its the only time of year I drink rum.

So it's rum, eggnog, sodomy and the lash? Sounds a bit much.

Just rum and eggnog.  But I can see why the folks who drink straight rum might be driven to trying the lash and sodomy.

Eggnog

[Capetan Mihali]

A "finger" of The Black Grouse whisky on ice.  It's a great scotch in my book.   Much superior to your Common Workaday Famous Grouse.

I bought it since it was marked down several bucks to $22 for a fifth at the state liquor outlet.  Cutty Sark was also marked down to $17, but I'm glad I sprung for the extra; it's much for flavorful than the normal cheap scotches I buy, apparently having a measure of Islay whisky mixed in.

According to at least one source on the Internet, it was formulated not that long ago to appeal to the Stockholm market.   Also from the net, it seems to be a cheap way to get at the Talisker real single-malt experience, which I've never tried.
