A hot espresso with 1 spoonful of sugar.

Loch Lomond 12 Oosthuizen
Nose: very harmonious and well-balanced; against the backdrop of baked apples, you can detect dates, cloves, lacquer, orange zest, and hay, with just a hint of smoke. Initially, it seemed very closed, but you just need to let it breathe.
The taste is warm, thick, soft, fruity-honeyed, with burnt wood, flowers, and ginger, moderately sweet.
The finish again leans more towards smoke and spices, plus an interesting woodiness, like sawing well-dried pine.

I didn't try to catch every note, and I've lost some of my skill in that regard, but there are many more nuances behind the basic flavors I mentioned.

I liked it; it's definitely in the style of Loch Lomond, and at the same time, it's clearly denser, warmer, and more balanced than the 12 Inchmurrin. Even now, it offers good value for its price.

83/100

Oh yes, this is LOCH, with a DEER on the emblem, and named after Oosthuizen. I think it would be beneath the dignity of those flashy, nouveau riche gangsters in the West to drink this, which is why the price is lower. And thank goodness for that; I wish those nouveau riche gangsters would taste my… well, you get the idea.

I'm drinking cherry soda.

Yesterday, I was drinking while watching a movie. First, I poured some into a regular glass, just a little, a sip, but it still felt a bit heavy. Maybe because it was entering my mouth with too wide a front, or maybe because I haven't had anything stronger than weak mead in a long time – I don't know. The second time, I poured it into a shot glass, and it went down much easier. At the same time, the drink itself isn't strong or bitter – I would say it's like vodka for girls. The third and subsequent drinks went down even easier, like water. When the bottle was finished, as often happens, I regretted that there wasn't a second one. But in the morning, on the contrary, I was glad that I only had one – even though I didn't have a hangover, there was a small period when my head ached slightly.

I would say it's like vodka for girls.

For some reason, I read it as "water for frogs"...

As they say, it's a real toad.

but they are cool.

Well, what a week it's been... I decided to grab some cider to relax, I've tried the green apple one before and really liked it, so this time I decided to try a few different flavors.

This time, it seems, it didn't quite live up to expectations... the green apple flavor is barely noticeable. Maybe the problem is that I was already quite tipsy last time when I tried it, I don't remember. On the other hand, it would be worse if it tasted strongly of alcohol or had a very artificial flavor.

But the watermelon one does have a flavor, maybe I just got a bad bottle of the green apple... :(

No comment.

Did he spend money on releasing his own beer?

The name of Mortulus’s beer should include something about growth.

Rastishka?

Well, that’s a success, a real success! I’ve finally achieved all-Russian recognition, even if it’s just a crappy beer named after me. I knew I was born for glory!

Žatec goose, a light beer!

By the way, I bought instant noodles again today, and it didn't have the sesame seed packet. But that's not a big deal. Two with vegetables are much better.
