Answering question, I usually drink finnish ale (Koff or Karhu)

Hitot, (jääkylmää) Lapin Kultaa sen olla pitää, perkele.

Sorry. On the topic, and in the right language, never tasted Caol Ila, but Laphroaig is just too good! How can anyone who's tasted it deny whiskey being the water of life?

One smilie to you, Aristharus: That's me on the left drinking Karhu, which happens to have some taste and that's you on the right, drinking Lapin Kusta (not typo), which doesn't even actually taste anything.

When it comes to ale two of my favorites are "Bishop's FInger" and "Old speckled hen".

I don't know that much about foreign beers. Special lagers cost too much and are pretty similar to each other, so I don't buy them much. But what about stouts and dark ale? I'm not an expert, but the basic draughts and such I do know... Even though they're expensive too, they are worth it. Nothing can beat Guinness or Kilkenny.

Juni Ori: No, no, no.. It's not that simple; Karhu's ok from a bottle, but Lapin Kulta is a pretty.. demanding beer. It has to be ice-cold and come from a tap to be any good, but when it does fill those requirements, at least no finnish beer can beat it. It's also a better sauna beer than Karhu or Koff.

Sorry, getting a little here, so I'll stop this rant before it begins.

Aristharus, pyh.. But there are as many opinions as there are assholes, so you're right, let's forget this..

I prefer Ale to Stouts, but Guiness and Young's double chocolate are really good. I also like the belgian "trappist" beer Chimay blue. Though of all the beers I've tasted the swedish lager Hell is my all time favorite. It's got an ugly name, ugly bottle, tastes like heaven and is really expensive. One bottle costs 20 kr (~$3) in the stores...

Last friday my friends were drinking some whiskey while we had some pizza, watching some music dvd's Grants was the name of it, I didn't have any, kinda wishing I did but whateva, another time, although was quite funny watching them chug down a cup of the stuff and the effects afterwards.

A cup?  

[DeathDude]

Yup coffee cup size I'm serious, they both tried to chug it down with some cranberry gingerale combined with the Grants in one gulp with a break in between, needless to say it was quite the reaction afterwards wells least from one of my friends.

   that's disgusting  

[DeathDude]

Nah it's called a good time watching your friends, while you eat the rest of the pizza as they are distracted.

One does not mix whisky and soda! *waves finger*

Other than that I agree with you. It must've been hilarious  

[DeathDude]

Pshaw on the non-mixing of whisky and soda , it's a strong brand man, got to give it some more kick, course now I wish I had some, not the size my friends had but still next time around.

[BeefontheBone]

Only cheap whisky should be mixed with soda - alright whisky gets a small amount of water and nice whisky nothing other than a bit of ice. Anything else just ruins it.
