OK this is obviously going to be short. How much can one wax eloquent about a beer? Well Icould but beers don't lend themselves to fawning and dribbling as do wines and whiskies.
Simple, tasty, no nonsense lager...almost like a pilsner. It's the kind of simply, non-obtrusive pilsner that you enjoy it whether it's your first or the tenth. Not too hoppy, not too fizzy, no discernible fruit or flower tastes,

Whiskey tasting - Kilbeggan
OK so the Kilbeggan I tasted definitely wasn't a 12 or 15 or 18 yr old Irish whiskey.
Somewhat coarse and grainy it had an afterburn that wasn't fun. Earthy and at times even...gritty!
"Bleh" was the first thought that came to my mind.

Whiskey tasting - Tullamore Dew
A sip on the icy rocks has a spicy taste but not as much burn. With some soda it acquires a much more mellower taste. It doesn't have quite the grainy taste of Scotch. Distinctively milder, smoother and fun to drink. Could detect many other aromas.

First post of the year
Depressing...the content of my first post of the year, I mean.
Was watching the news - Intel laying off 5000-6000 people. Williams Sonoma laying off 18% of the workforce. 2400 Pfizer and 1000 Roche sales folks out. 800 scientists at PFE and 1500 other employees from Roche out.
Unemployment at ~9%! This is definitely one of the worst times ever on the financial side.
Hopefully the next post will be positive.
