Delta784's Ghetto Beverage Test

[Delta784]

I figured it was high time that I sampled the subject of my avatar, so in celebration (mourning?) of turning the big 4-0 and having tonight off, now is as good a time as any.

In this corner, weighing-in at 40 ounces and 8.2% alcohol, the challenger, St. Ides High Gravity Malt Liquor;

Notice the frost accumulation on the bottle, I put this bad boy in the freezer for a few hours, and it didn't come close to slushing up.

I'll continue to update this thread as I work on polishing this off.

First impression.....this tastes like a skunked Budweiser with a shot of rubbing alcohol thrown in. You definitely don't drink this for the taste.

"It tastes so good once it hits your lips!"

Go Delta Go Delta Go Delta! It's your birfday (well it was)!

Oh and don't forget to pour some out for "da homies".

WTF does "high gravity" mean?

Something to do with the brewing, there is a gauge that measures "gravity", and the higher the gravity, the higher the alcohol content.

Good one, Will Farrel in "Old School"

If you're really brave, try Colt .45.......10% and nasty. I had 3 king cans and no doubt felt like ****.

I don't think my wife would appreciate that on the living room carpet.

About 1/3 of the way done now, it's getting warmer and therefore more hideous.

You Canucks have the really strong stuff, Colt 45 here is around 5.9%.

[TheMP5guy]

That's probably a good thing. It tastes like ****. But notice I had 3 cans. I like da booze

What'd that cost you, like $0.99 Canadian?

Delta, remember it is always easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

[TheMP5guy]

Pretty much. Man they should've paid me.

[Delta784]

Halfway done.....I can already feel it hitting me, I'm getting that warm, fuzzy feeling.

First thing that came to mind when reading this was "How the hell do you know what **** tastes like??"

LOL! My brother-in-law brings me really dark German beers...which taste nasty to me. I put them in iced mugs in hopes they will water down a little...

Sorry, I meant it tastes like **** smells
