Posts from What are you drinking right now?

It’s all just beginning!

As the original description states, this porter is not what it seems. The aroma is sweet, with a hint of coconut, very mild and pleasant. Upon tasting, you immediately feel a strong bitterness of burnt malt, although the bitterness on the label is indicated as twenty. The taste is, of course, very rich, but due to the aforementioned bitterness, it will not be easy to discern it right away. The beer is stronger than usual – it has eight degrees, but it doesn’t taste like alcohol. Overall – a good winter porter for those who don’t mind the bitterness of dark beer – strong, dense, slightly sweet. And the price is not exorbitant, so 7/10.

it would have been better if he had listened to something.

So-so. Bitter, doesn't smell great. It's okay, but you can find something better for 250. 6/10

Looks like I got a fake. The first shot was okay, but after that, it wasn't good at all. So, be careful with it.

Expensive, but nice. Great smell, doesn't taste like alcohol. Very smooth, no unpleasant aftertaste, it's pleasant to drink shot after shot without any snacks. 9/10

Slightly better than "Belenkaya" and seems a bit cheaper. It's bitter, like that one, but the aftertaste is fine. 7/10

It tastes like carbonated grape juice with a very slight alcoholic aftertaste. I drank it in two cases: when I chased a shot of vodka with another shot of vodka (I was playing vodka roulette) and immediately reached for a chaser so I wouldn't feel sick; and during a hangover, because I couldn't drink anything else. It's probably more likely to appeal to women. Lifehack from Alex: if you chase every shot of vodka with half a glass of this sparkling wine, you can get drunk quickly and pleasantly. I don't usually drink champagne on its own, I don't like it, but you can find a use for it, so 8/10. Besides, it's very cheap: paired with some "Morozhaya," it's perfect for getting completely wasted with minimal effort and for only 500 rubles.

I think we shouldn't miss the opportunity and should participate in this discussion.
We traditionally had a pre-New Year gathering with colleagues at a bar, and here are my impressions.


Kriek from the St. Petersburg-based brewery "Knightberg".
Cherry beer, delicious, easy to drink, and enjoyable, like lemonade.


Yellow Press from the St. Petersburg-based brewery "Bakunin".
This is definitely not lemonade. It's an IPA, so it suggests that you should drink it slowly. The beer itself is interesting, and you can clearly taste the apricot.

Other experts also advised me to try I'm Looking for a Person, but I guess I'll try it next New Year, if I don't forget.

I went to McDonald's to have a cappuccino.
I haven't been here for over six months, but the staff recognized me and greeted me. "Good day, enjoy your meal." It's a small thing, but it's nice, damn it.

It attracts attention with its unusual aluminum bottle design and an even more unusual composition: only alcohol and water, no flavorings. At the same time, it is very smooth, almost like "Tsarskaya," which indicates very good alcohol purification. This vodka has two drawbacks: it is expensive (like "Tsarskaya" - 600 for 0.7 liters) and very rare: there are only three bottles in the whole city (now two). But for its excellent taste without any additives and a very convenient bottle – unlike most, it doesn't spill a drop, it deserves a 9.5/10
Yesterday, I only drank "Zver," "Tsarskaya," and "Morosha." After 400 grams, there is almost no hangover, so I highly recommend trying one of these if you want to drink a lot and not feel like a walking, or even lying, corpse in the morning.

This is one of those cases where the aroma is better than the taste. You could say that this is a "simplified" Monkey Shoulder, but it's also significantly cheaper. It's quite mild for a Scotch. It's suitable if you like Scotch but want to save money. I wouldn't recommend buying it, but that's only because I prefer "island" whiskies above all else. 6.5/10

Went out for lunch, bought 1.5 liters of mineral water, Curtis green tea, and a box of sugar. Now I'm thinking of pouring the mineral water into the kettle and drinking some green tea!

I haven't had it in a while. I remember not liking it much before, I preferred Avtorskoe, but now it seems okay.

I'll have a cup of tea with lemon now.

I bought a bottle for 100 rubles to use for soaking bandages (instead of alcohol), but the bandages ran out, and the vodka remained, because my parents taught me not to throw anything away. Now I'm trying to finish it; it's the worst thing I've ever drunk.

but it can be stored for a long time.

It had been stored for six months anyway.

Some things are better left forgotten forever...
