Don't have many cool Traditionals, but love to share my passion for beverages. Loving this ballast point variety as well.

Nice, choice. I've not tried the QA, it's pretty new I think, but would be interested to hear your thoughts on it. I'm not much of a serious smokehead when it comes to whisky so I've been on the fence about it.

Just a coffee today at home;

This is my first QA too, so I cannot say too much yet other than that I like it! I wasn't that huge fan of smoke myself until last year. Once you get used to the smokiness, I just darn love Laphroaig! I have always been bad in describing tastes but something appeals a lot for me in the whiskies of this distillery. In fact, lot of fine single malts even taste boring or bland in comparison. :D

Thanks for that A.L, interesting to get someone else's point of view. Don't get me wrong, I like a touch of the smoke but prefer a really peaty whisky without the feeling like I'm swallowing pins. Laphroaigs in general are a little to harsh for me.

Throwing in a mid-week glass of vino to mix things up a little.

 
Admiring my first real traditional I just got in, with my first ever pumpkin beer. Definitely won't be my last of either.

You folks have great taste in beverages as well as blades :thumbup:

I was advised to give this a try today - from a London brewery called Fourpure. I'm still getting used to quality ales in cans I have to say, and unfortunately this was served too cold to really appreciate it.

Took me a while, too, but there's some really good stuff being put in cans nowadays (at least here in the states), and personally I don't think it makes a difference in the taste of the product. (They say it's better for the beer because it doesn't let in light, etc. Of course, "they" are the people selling the stuff in cans. :rolleyes:)

Maybe serving that one too cold was the American part of "American Brown Ale." :D

Good looking sawcut #25, Jack!

Indeed! The darker and "deeper" the beer is, more critical it is to have the right temperature.

I haven't really spotted that much taste difference from bottle to can, except for light lager type of beers. Sometimes you can clearly taste the metallic side taste.. or maybe it's just my imagination who knows.
