No potassium sorbate on the drink mix anymore?

So how's the coffee-sour-imperial brown now? And what about that distilling business? Never heard of a local distillery willing to process a batch of homebrew.

The test piece is actually nothing special; Hi-Point 995 Classic 9mm Carbine. The target is a Remington 1100 12-gauge semi-auto from the 70s. It'll be gorgeous once finished.

Mature (black) kalamatas or immature and brined (green) kalamatas? Any vermouth or dry as the day is long?

Sobieski Vodka. This stuff is from Poland. It's distilled Rye Grain Vodka. It's cheap, it's delicious, It's Tangy and Awesome. I'm sitting here, drinking a dirty Sobieski olive martini (up), polishing a James Bond-esque Seiko diving watch, re-bluing a collectible rifle, considering my next...

BA Baracus: Character on the A-Team, a television show in the 1980s, played by one "Mr. T."0 Linkydoo

BA? As in Baracus?

You're "disappointed," Jeb, that's the word you were looking for. Damn it, I want to know how to make watermelon hooch! GIVE ME HOOCH RECIPE OR GIVE ME DEATH! I feel like I should take off my loafer and start banging it on the table like a gavel. Ah, for the days of the red scare.

I also like: "This thing needs fixed..." Instead of: "This thing needs to be fixed..." You can't just drop the "to be" because you're lazy.

The only problem is, is that.... Too many "is"s. Just use one "is" please.

I can't believe I wasted 8 minutes of my life on this thread. Why? My wife called me from a business trip in GA saying she had some great fruity-something flavored martini and I thought I'd get some advice on a "party favorite" watermelon wine. OMG I am so disappointed. TL;dr The guy in the...

Aroma is strong, finish is clean, alcohol flavor is high for a beer at 7.0% ABV (bad as I assume this beer hasn't aged out enough.) This one seems like there's some phenols/esters from poor fermentation. Perhaps the batch got a bit hot during fermentation and produced the clove flavor I first...

This beer smells a lot sweeter than it comes across on the palate. Lingering post-swallow is the dryness from the alcohol and nice, warm hop flavor.

This beer warmed to about 48 to 50 degrees F while I was typing the last post. Mouthfeel has thickened significantly and chocolate is really coming through now. Aroma is of chocolate and noble hops. Can't tell if this is a Kent Golding beer, Tettnang or some other noble hop (yes, I could...

Drinking this right now, posting to update those who haven't had the pleasure. Poured a Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout in a 10 oz tulip glass about 10 minutes ago. It might be up to about 45 degrees F now, has a nice thick tan-brown head that is slowly deflating. At this colder temp, this...
