Whatcha drinkin' tonight?

We picked up a couple of new beers tonight! Join us!

First up: Harpoon Leviathan. Christened an "Imperial Red" by the brewery, this monster weighs in at 9.2% ABV. For those counting at home, that's roughly double the strength of the average American beer, and well into red wine territory.

This is an excellent beer! The taste is an interesting mix: up front is the super aggressive hop profile of a good India Pale Ale, but it has the buttery, caramelized sweetness of a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy behind it. I like this beer. I'm also glad it only came in a four pack, because it's strong as hell.

Two observations:

1) I took the pics, not artifex, so excuse the quality.
2) As you can see, my trip this evening to Genghis Grill was not without its rewards. :D

More to come later! If you're drinking at home tonight, feel free to chime in!

Sounds highly tasty! I'm not drinking anything but water myself. I'll try to manage a sympathy drunk or something, though.

Next up: Glenmorangie 10.

I'm definitely more a Scotch wannabe than a true connoisseur - it's an expensive hobby - but of the dozen or two single malts I've tried, this is my favorite and standby. I'm getting close to finishing the bottle AndrewRyan got me for the holidays; I keep this mostly for sipping in controlled doses, and keep a big 1.75 of Dewar's for rocks and soda usage.

Just Coca-Cola, cause I feel like crap. My husband's drinking wine, though, because he didn't have any cold beer in the fridge.

You feel like crap on your birthday? :(

And your husband has no cold beer? :sad: :sad: :sad:

Coffee with half and half and Splenda, and Kroger brand water.

The same as every night Pinky. Try and take over the... Oh, er, excuse me. I mean Bourbon.

I have been blessed by the goods of liquor: Maker's Mark was on sale.

:mad: Making me jealous!

Last night I drank a 12 pack of Coors Light and maybe 4 shots of Canadian Club. Sometimes slumming is fun. Hell of a hangover though.

Heh...I read that as "sometimes slamming is fun."

I was thinking, "Actually, that's pretty much always."
