From the 13th Warrior...(sorry to any purists out there; my recall isn't quite perfect)

Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: "I can can taste neither the fermentation of grapes, nor of wheat..."

Viking: "Honey...it's made from HONEY!"

Ahmed: "Honey?!? Gulp...gulp...gulp..."

====================

It must be because this place is soo popular that it was chosen for this posting. I think it's funny as hell; and I hope they fucking read it. A truce?...don't make me laugh. They wanted death...and they got death coming. That bastard should have spent his wealth and used his fame to build schools and work to reform things without resorting to such cowardly methods. And don't think for a second that he won't light off any kind of bomb he's got in any major city he can sneak one into. Talk of peace with this abomination (or his flunkie information mongers) is wasted breath. Now, maybe once they're dead, we can talk to others of his people who have a different mindset.

yggdrasil makes some awesome mead, especially their dry mead.

mix that half n half with a good, heavy dark ale or stout and woo boy

it does get too sweet after a while, but damn.

 

Re: the last sonic message of OUSSAMA BEN LADEN

20% beer? that could be really good if done right. sort of like a fine port.
i've hd one that was sort of like a belgian rochefortbut had a much longer lasting aftertaste of raisins and cherries.
very delicious with dark chocolate ice cream for dessert that one was.

mmmm.

"Rochefort...isn' that a kind of a smelly cheese?"

(Apologies to Blair, for ripping off his movie quotes...)


Allyx...Master Crafter :thumbsup: / Master Brewer...? I dunno. I'd call what he made ale, rather than beer...you know; Ginger Ale?

 

Re: the last sonic message of OUSSAMA BEN LADEN

actually, the difference between ginger ale and ginger beer today is that ginger ale is usually referred to as a soft drink, containing very little (if any) alcohol, while ginger beer isn't necessarily sweet and hs historically had very high alcohol content.
it's a bit difficult to get ginger beer most places nowadays.

[edit]
oh hehe and yes i believe you can get rochefort cheese too, to compliment the ale. i don't think i've tried it though.

I believe it is made bye fermenting clover honey.

 

Re: the last sonic message of OUSSAMA BEN LADEN

Now, you see...it was supposed to be sort of a humorus play on words & their meanings. You actually explaining it correctly does absolutely nothing to further the attempt at humor.

Sadly, if either you, or I (or, saints forfend BOTH of us) have to explain it, then I guess it wasn't that damn funny to begin with. Besides, we all here in the States know that in order for a beer to be soft, it must be preceeded by the word "root".

:hahano:

All of the radical militant muslims who committed suicide by crashing the planes in to the twin towers on 9/11/2001 did more than go out and have a few alcoholic drinks. It was reported from the ensuing investigation that all of them went together to an erotic strip club...they experienced lots of alcohol, lots of very loud 'Western' metal/rock/hiphop/dance music, and lots of private nude lapdances the night before their demonic led actions and deeds.

 

Re: the last sonic message of OUSSAMA BEN LADEN

Let me for the record state, that beers with an alcohol percentage (vol) of 20 are, tastewise, closer to spirits such as vodka and whisky, than anything else. I figured this out the hard way. Possibly the vilest crap I have ever tasted mg:

 

Re: the last sonic message of OUSSAMA BEN LADEN

beers with 20 vol. are difficult to make right, but when they ARE done right, they can be REALLY good...

osama bin laden is made by fermenting clover honey? :Being_a_s
