I'm used to black coffee with no sugar.

I'm not sure why you would order a latte hot or cold. :D

Well, Iced espresso didn't sound very good either. I had to try.

I'm an espresso guy as well but never had any desire to do an iced one.  Latte is too much milk, so an iced espresso with a dash of milk works okay.  I'm sure there is a name for that but I have no clue.

Another 30+ day, so I tried another iced coffee variant. 'Ismokka', espresso and chocolate milk with ice. Better.

I'll do an iced mocha with skim milk every now & then, particularly if there's an option for darker chocolate.

Oh, and I'm currently drinking a Madtree PsycHOPathy, a nice locally made West Coast IPA.

Have you ever tried Vietnamese iced coffee, made with condensed milk?

I tried that for the first time a few weeks back.  I liked it but it was a little too sweet for me.

Right now I'm drinking Courvoisier XO. :cool:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I had Spaten Pils at the German-American club's biergarten earlier.  Never tried that one before... it was good. :beer:

Raz has a beer named in his honor?  That's awesome. :lol:  Looks like a pretty decent selection. :cheers:

Last Saturday I went to what might be the smallest nanobrewery I've ever visited-- Quarter Barrel Brewery in Oxford, OH where Miami University is located.  They're set up mainly as a restaurant/beer bar and have only one of their own beers on tap at any given time.  They had just switched to their blonde, which is probably my least favorite type (save for the Belgian variety).  On first taste it was like a standard blonde with that weird pale malt aftertaste, but after a few more sips the Nelson Sauvin hops really took over, giving it a nice fruity balance.  The description was vague but I believe it was a single hop beer.  Probably the best American blonde ale I can recall drinking.

And last night I tried the Birra Etrusca Bronze from Dogfish.  Don't anyone tell grumbler but it has a small amount of hops in it.  Kinda wished it had more.  They put all kinds of funky stuff in it, including gentian root and myrrh resin.  The only pleasant taste was the pomegranate.
