Peaksy68 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I never had it any good? I love beer all kinds Bags It's ok, better than most mainstream Australian lager styles. Its the "premium" offering from Australia's biggest brewer. I think it's now owned by SAB, who seem to own half the big breweries all around the world. I'd usually prefer something more craft beer, for about the same price.

I live in a state where all distilled beverages must be sold thru the state store system... remnant of prohibition, and now a cash cow for the state... Also, not to sound like a scotch snob, but - I would offer, try your single malt straight up- no ice (or if you need it chilled, invest in the metal or marble "cubes" that you freeze, which will chill the beverage but not dilute it. Second, before you begin - add a single drop (one can use either an eye dropper or pipette - or a clean finger) of room temperature water to the scotch. This opens the bouquet (actually breaks the surface tension and releases the esters, releasing the aromas that the distiller intended). I know this sounds silly - how can a single drop of water change the complexity and open the flavors of a scotch- but it does. Try it and let me know what you think. revkev, Peaksy68, cksurfdude and 2 others 5 Quote What's in the bag?

Particularly sad as he was so much younger than his years. His really sharp moments probably hurt the most, as they remind me of the real him. Thanks for the thoughts and hoping you have a great New Year Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy As I mentioned, I am not enamored with most sparkling wines- however- several years ago, while working in the industry, I worked a birthday dinner for gentleman who founded the Marin, CA Food and Wine society. Most of the wines came from his personal collection, and, to be honest, I volunteered my time that evening so I could be a part of it and (potentially) experience some of these unique wines- Without going into great detail about the menu or parings, the wines included 1953 Chateau Lafite Rothschild (in magnum), 1870 and 1864 Rothschild, also in magnum, as well as some other fine vintage wines in celebration of this gentleman's 80th birthday. While the opportunity to sample these unique wines was in and of itself a once in a lifetime experience, the most memorable wine of the evening was served as an intermezzo, between the salad and entrée... and it was a 1963 Dom Perignon in magnum- and it was transformative! The bubbles were velvety and lush, the hints of fruit and sugar well developed but not overpowering- the flavor actually exploded in your mouth, and lingered for some time afterwards- it was WONDERFUL. Probably the most delicious sparkling wine I have ever had the opportunity to taste. Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful experience! I will raise a glass of whatever I am drinking on Saturday evening to you and yours, and to your friend's health and better days! Kenny B, Peaksy68 and cksurfdude 3 Quote What's in the bag?
