favourite kind of alcohol

My favourite drink when I'm out at a pub is a well mixed Manhattan. The catch there being that it's damn near impossible to get a decent fucking Manhaattan anymore. Ridiculous.

I do, however, work at an award winning brewpub and have been learning from the brewmaster (if I get to level 20, I learn real magic) so I have a very healthy love for beer. I have a special love for stouts, especially the really dark variety (see Dortmunders, Guinness or Guinness knock-offs, chocolate stout etc), red ales, and well done fruit ales. Though my ultimate weakness is mead. I can't stop drinking the stuff. It is absolute ambrosia to me.

In terms of wines, I know my stuff fairly well, but I'm no sommelier. My personal favourites are a well done Pinot Noir, preferably from the Burgundy region in France (see the problem with loving Manhattans), or a Shiraz. My palate doesn't pick up on whites as well, though I'm fairly good with ice wines, Pinot Gris (really more of a light red) and Pinot Blanc. The problem with Noir is that when it's less than fantastic, it's shit. But when it's at its best, it is the best in the world. Incredibly lively flavour.

Now, if I'm just kicking around the house, I tend to be a gin and lime drinker. Though I also have a love for northern Irish whiskey. Especially Jura Superstition. And my love for Absinthe is pretty well known around here.

In short: Make your poll multi-selection.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

At least it isn't fucking Pabst.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm sorry, did you just say guinness tastes like natty ice?

Do you have NO palate? What the fuck is wrong with you?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
