I'm havin' me some apple-y
water of life type stuff that ain't
actually half bad.

That one is made by a Dutch writer and a Dutch publisher. Actually, they're full of shit with their "only genuine distillery in the Netherlands" and their high-tech column still, but what they produce generally isn't half bad indeed. http://www.lubberhuizen-raaff.nl/index.php?id=11

A glass of Trilium and a glass and a half of Mata Hari (US version) compliments of a friend. The Trilium was pretty o.k. The Mata Hari...well....ehh.

With "friends" like that...

...who needs enemas?

Loogie's sink drains, apparently.

Hey, a friend sent me a whole bunch of samples of stuff that I haven't tried yet. I just appreciate the kindness and am looking forward to sampling all of them. I just started with these two. The Trilium was pretty good for an anise bomb. I'm not too partial to the especially anise-y absinthes, I'm more of a wormwood coont, but this one was good. The Mata Hari was o.k. Kind of candy like and astringent. I think those are the describing words for those tastes. Anyway, I just wanted to add my two cents to this thread since I haven't been posting much lately.

Plus, I never get any HG from anyone, not that I'm asking for anything or anything, so I gotta go with what I got and get.

Deschutes The Dissident.

The name should appeal to Komrade Puller, and this strong Oud Bruin/Kriekbier might even get one and a half thumbs up from Bater.

Really good, authentic tasting xit.

Yesterday I injected the followin' into my veins: dereniówka, vintage rye vodka, przepalanka, vdt'2008, piołunówka, arak, HG from US, Boggy pastis, the other (not Polish) przepalanka, d'Artiste, Belle Amie, another HG from US (delicious stuff, thanks Christ!), Roquette and PF1901 (considering only its alcohol level, the rest in it is too blunt to be called extrait).

Morning has cum, wakin' up and gettin' ready fer the next.

Gin.

Lots of gin.

Like I needed to like another kind of booze.
Thanks, Asshole.

I drink so much lately that it's too difficult to keep track.

Łącka from 2006, 76%=perfectly smooth. And more of vintage rye vodka coz Tits is a lucky bastich and the amputation is not necessary, thanks God and my Father.

There's gin coming out of your asshole?

Consider yourself lucky.

Lucky that it's cumming out?
Or that there's a resale market?

I'm craving Gin just thinking about.

Lush Life and lovin' every minute of it.

Gin & Tonic.

Beefeaters will have to do until something better is available.


At least in the Gin department.

Ya need better tonic unless your making you're own.

The Lush Life is sumptin'
to love, ain't it?

I've spiked some Belle Amie
with sumptin' left strong
from a lowland still.

Woiks for me, fer xure.

Battle of the Saints tonite. St. George vs. St. Antoine. I'd have to say St. George wins hands down. The St. A was very dark, brownish color and had no louche. Very astringent and sharp. Lingering effects. The St. G was smooth. Great louche. Creamier mouthfeel and a softer palate slap. A little sweeter. I must say that after one glass and then on to the second I can stomach anything. So if something makes it past the one glass then it is a little o.k. to say the least. Both made it past the first glass. I had two glasses of each and I would have to say that the St. G won easily. Thanks to the contributor again.

Imagine taking an absinthe
for your base alcohol,
redistilling it to approach neutral
and then coloring it.

Ta-da - Saint Antoine.

It's supposed to be a work in progress.
Butt I think the distiller is working
too hard and not progressing enough.
There's been no further follow up
on the first flawed attempt.

How patriotic of ya. Ya are de Class!

Mebbe ya will wait till Martin launches his second batch? Although he has taken our advice and critique, ya will bash him anyhow-new kewl xite to do. At least he is goin' in the right direction and after all makes a slivovitz that is better than 90% of the third class, better than 50% of the second class and aspirin' to be even betterer. Hopefully he will bring us a decent absinthe from Czeckerland Rep. Why not give him some time and encouragement?

Xould I remind ya bout your praise and admiration fer Kyle Bairnsfather that has faded since ya wanted to be kewl as others?

Huh, maybe he should join a forum where it's cool to post his opinions about absinthe.
Oh, wait.

Just pointing out that there might be a reason
Loogielicker likes salad dressing betterer
than an absinthe wannabe. He
didn't seem familiar's all I'm sayin', Tittoe.

Ya don't get a point I wuz clear 'nuff. Do not mess Loogie into it-ya don't deserve to say even "hi" to him. Prolly to Martin as well since ya believe it is better to discourage him from the very beginning.

and





Maybe in yer neck of woods it is kewl to mock others for their misfortune and injury, butt after all ya ARE the Lord of Noroms, so no wonder. Oh, I wood forget my toe sez:

SKREW YOU!

I'll wait 'til I taste
a new direction.

You can follow Ezra:
Pound yr Nude Erection.

Pathetic as always. Invent sumthin' funnier. I am bored

Well, I don't know anything about all this behind the scenes or even the in front of the curtain stuff going on because I don't PTFA enough. I don't who makes either of the Saints so I'm not bashing anybody and their attempts at making absinthe. I just know what I like and what I like less. So I'll just say that any attempt is better than none if that is your dream and keep up the good work all you absinthe makers out there because the attempts and competition will keep the market flowing towards a better glass of absinthe. Cheers.

End of story™. Cheers, amigo.

Kruts Karport

Last night it was a numbers and name game.

#3, #11, Commune de Paris, # 22, Green Man's Door, and the last of the Belle Amie.

GTO, I hope you cleared the blockage
outta yer drains afore they backed-up
and did damage to the surrounds.

Insist on Kruts Karport: Accept no substitutes.

Anybody need further proof that the state
of affairs in the nation's capitol has reached
rock bottom?

Drink Kruts Karport -- It's green.

You misspelled "sink."

And "undrinkable."

As is St George and every other US CO so far.


Butt then, I'm picky.

Those two statements are more mutually exclusive than connected.

Lush Life to start --

Sounds like new directions
changing to nude erections.

Revisited a few bottles that were in the back of the sail locker....

BDF - Sinked

Kubler US - Sinked

Edouard - Sinked

Duplais - Sinked

Segara 45 - Tolerable

Jade Suisse - Okay

Brut d' alambic (essai 1) - Improved

Alandia Suisse Verte - Sinked

Duplais Blanche - Tolerable

Serpis - Emptied The Bottle

I've been tipping 100% sobriety with virtually no typing, as of late. I'm saving up for 2009...

In which I'll see non of you fucks, cuz The Mayor and I will be rollin' through ATown drinkin' Roddenberries muggin' 12 year old bangers. Let's do this...

And none of y'all will be invited unless you're there at the right time, and only then it's simply for our amusement....

Boggy PF #2-more than excellent. The balance, oh the balance! Though raw and pre-collage has all the characteristics I wanted it to have and it might have had prior to bottling back in heyday.
