It grows on you, then it fades on you, then you find yourself drinking it and hating it but strangely "needing" it for some unknown reason. I swear there's crack in there.

Classic gin and vermouth martini. Stirred.

<rant on>
I had to go back four pages to find this thread. While I was (almost) drunk. Someone has to answer for that.
</rant>

<rant part deux>
Clear drinks should be stirred to keep them clear. Opaque drinks, shaken. Ian Fleming can go fuck himself.
</rant>

<more rant>
What's with the trend of calling any mixed drink in a martini glass a martini? The ingredients and technique define the drink, not the glass. If it's not gin and vermouth, it's not a martini. Period. End of story. Anyone who disagrees can get in a car with James Bond and drive off a cliff to horrible, flaming death.
</rant>

<the final rant>
A cold glass of gin is not a martini. If you like it that dry, face the mirror and have a moment of clarity... you don't like martinis, just gin. Vermouth... embrace it.
</rant>

Didn't someone once say that the perfect martini was a glass of gin with a bottle of vermouth set next to it for a few seconds?

I think most people can't stand the taste of too much vermouth. That's why they invented vermouth sprayers.

BTW I haven't drank any alcohol in a while now. Not supposed to be drinking anyway. Five Precepts and all that.

My degree is in Computer Science/Electronics and all that shit. He used to be my shadow when I worked on data/computers, till I started building houses and he couldn't get far enough away from me.

If you haven't looked into mobile broadband, I highly recommend it. It just... works. Everywhere. At speeds that are quite decent.

The only potential downside is if you need to share your internet connection with other people in the household, in which case it's not very practical to take the internet with you in your pocket when you leave the house.

geerussell

I have it through sprint. It's $40/month for some silly low limit that you'd reach just your WTF browsing. I've had their $60/month unlimited for a little over a year and have been pretty happy with it. A little more expensive than the cable modem I got rid of but the convenience of internet anywhere more than outweighed it.

And because I have nothing better to do, here's why you shouldn't waste your money on Grey Goose when you go out to the bars. This is the tale as told to me and I haven't bothered checking any facts, so I apologize if anyone knows anything's incorrect.

As the story goes, in the early eighties Jagermeister was bought by a very smart young enterpreneur to market to the United States. We'll call him "Jim", as I can't remember his real name. It wasn't all that popular or anything but was doing moderately well.

One day in the early eighties, an intern or secretary or something came into Jim's office with a terrified look on her face, almost afraid to hand him the news report that she had just seen. Eventually she handed over the story, afraid he was going to go on a tirade, upset about the bad press.

Jim looked at the story, was puzzled for a few seconds, and then eventually a big grin crept across his face. "Crazy German Devil Liquor Makes College Kids Insane, as if They're Possessed by the Devil!" the headline read.

As the intern braced herself for Jim's wrath, she was shocked to hear him laughing instead. "Joanne!" he shouted, "Call marketing. I want thousands of copies of this story made up, post them all over every college campus in the country! This is going to be huge!" The confused Joanne complied, and within a few weeks the Jagermeister craze was born. A few years later, Jim sold off Jagermeister, making hundreds of millions in profit.

Flash forward to the early nineties. The vodka craze is in full bloom. Absolut ads are everywhere and Stoli and Ketel One are starting to make inroads into the US market. Ready to make his next fortune, Jim makes his move.

He flies to Europe and travels around looking for just the right deal. Eventually he finds a small distillery in France. He quickly makes them an offer they can't refuse and snatches up the company. "Grey Goose" is born. They make good vodka, nothing special by any means, but definitely not swill. Jim has the distillery amp up the production and starts his marketing department up on designing the fanciest, most sophisticated bottle they can manage.

When the distillery finds out how much Jim wants to charge for their Vodka they tell him he's crazy. "Sir, we make a very fine vodka but it is by no means the best in the world. We'll go broke if you try to charge this!"

"Just trust me," Jim replies and goes ahead with his plan. He releases Grey Goose in the fancy new bottles and prices it at an absurd price point, 50% higher than Absolut and other similair quality vodkas. Shockingly, Grey Goose is a huge success. Despite the questionable quality, the fancy bottle and perceived quality from the high price point make it a must have item for the "in crowd". Jim, once again, makes a fortune.

So next time you're out at the bar about to order your 12 dollar "Grey Goose and Tonic", remember this: before the fancy bottle, Grey Goose sold their vodka for about the same price as Gordon's. Marketing.

I agree. Beer can be all over the place as far as taste goes. But Vodka's taste can't be influenced that much, imo. Plus 95% of the Vodka consumed is a mix. Why bother spending so much that is mixed with some fruit juice by the time it hits the pallet.


BTW...I bet my brother and his old Prof takes care of 2% of the straight Vodka consumed. I like it basically straight too sometimes...I put a few green olives and a lil olive juice in and its ready.

Tahoe
11-23-2008, 08:49 PM
Just read this...gonna have to try it.


Batch 8745, Packaged on 9/11/08.

Poured with a large head, off white foam that dimpled nicely and retained good depth. Very compact bubbles. Dark red/brown.

Smell is nutty with some toffee and milk. Minor noble hops spicing.

Tastes like a hybrid between a brown ale and a sweet stout (and given that this is a Bell's beer I shouldn't really be surprised at the stout creeping in). The combination works well -- has the roasted aspects of a stout but in a very subdued, sweeter fashion. A coffee/Hershey's syrup/Nutella blend comes through at the end with some minty hops that add a touch of dryness. Some nonspecific fruit and honey on the front.

Mouthfeel is very wet and creamy, I kept expecting a drier beer from the taste. Carbonation comes and goes smoothly with a strong peak. Sweet and smooth on the finish.

Definitely tasty and sessionable -- a good spin on the brown ale style and a solid fall seasonal.

Serving type: bottle
