I do not remember sendin' them samples, unless ya still have sum left.

Buggy: send me sum, I will make a review with pleasure. Or not™.
Bognoz
Titter, titter.
Louched Liver
Noodle all
atwitter.
Bognoz
Don't mistake my tittering
for a confession of ever having
had these Americkan icons.

Just doesn't interest me.
Louched Liver
Czeckerland that, then.
absinthist
So, why xould I have them, either?
Bognoz
Beer in mind there are
redeeming refreshments.
Louched Liver
I'm having a
refreshing beer
right the fuck
now.

Synergy.
Bognoz
Why the fascination with that
which you know nothing about?
Bognoz
Which means just about
everyfuckingthing, Tits.
Louched Liver
Um, I know all about beer.
Louched Liver
Oh, you were
spitting his
direction.
absinthist
I will be havin' a refreshin' beer that Sunday. Ya have spit yerself, Buggy
Bognoz
Feeling left out?
I can reload
jizz for you.
absinthist
Huh? It is just the day I have divided into sleepin' and writin'.
Louched Liver

nappy poo!
Porkio
People from WS are the authority on absinthe tasting?

G&C
You misspelled Absinthbuyersguide.
Louched Liver
His High Ram works
so damn hard to
infiltrate everything.

He's the new unphotogenic,
unslick, obvious, T-Bone.
Louched Liver
Pecs are the same size,
just his are more, um,
malleable.

Of course, reading that review, would you doubt it:
QUOTE
The spirit is obviously grain, not grape-based, which makes this absinthe taste harsher and makes it more of a cheap knock-off rather than a recreation of what Van Gogh drank

That reviewer beside the fact of knowing how to spell Vincent's surname correctly, knows exactly what poor Vincent drank. And perfectly can distinguish between the bad grain alcohol and divine grape alcohol.
QUOTE
The mint was also far too strong, mint has a strong natural flavor that is too overpowering which is why those 19th century distilleries that used it used only very limited quantities - Pernod Fils had something like one bushel of mint per 10 kg of herbs, I believe.

Even Henri-Louis Pernod was not aware, there is mint in his own extrait. Yuppie! We know the truth.
sixela
Oh, by the way, Absinthist: I only said (with a sarcastic undertone that you may chose to ignore, but I digress) you were obviously infallible when you were channelling Padre Pio. I certainly don't think you're always channelling him; otherwise, it's time to tell the wise man that too much Tanacetum doesn't belong in absinthe.

Le Gimp
How much does a bushel of mint weigh?

laugher.gif That I know. Now, are you channelling me or Padre Pio? If you find 4g-5g/l to be too much, your definition of "too much" needs channelling.

(GB) bu = 36, 368 dm3; US bu = 35, 238 dm3, so 36,4 l from what I have checked.
Kirk
Any tansy is too much, it shouldn't be used in absinthe. However, even if it should be used, 5/gL is way too much.
Louched Liver
I'm thinkin' a bushel
of mint has gotta be
hefty.

A bushel of damn near
any organic mass is.
Louched Liver
And agreed on the
tansy, now that I
have something
other than the stuff
Wolvie (not Wolfgang)
sent me years ago.

It's way too up front if
you can discern it at
all.
absinthist
Ya gotta be allergic to it. We here find it floral , nuthin' more, nuthin' less.
jaded prol
It's terrible stuff.
Louched Liver
Seems so to me,
as well.

Must be cultural.
Bognoz
Let's not forget he enjoys the taste
of macerated absinthium, as well.
absinthist
Where is the proof for that accusation? Ya are more known to be drinkin' Bairnfather's, not me. So, bring the facts in here, not yer usual innuendos.
Bognoz
Remember piołunówka?
