    Nope...don't want to imagine that.

    Like you said, it's one of the sublime joys of living in colder climes.

    Definitely an acquired taste! Pretty sure I wasn't a huge fan on my first sip. I also think context plays a big part. I would probably hate it anywhere/anytime but evening in front of roaring fire.

    Or even in temperate climes, if your winter nights get down into single (celcius) figures :)

    Used to enjoy a quart draft glass of Spaten Optimator after every shift in the kitchen at a sports bar, ages ago. On the house!
    A dark German beer of 8% Alc.

    Beer but not anything from bud, Miller, or coors. Generally some sort of hop forward beer but not necessarily to an IPA level.

    When I did drink it was either Kentucky Bourbon or a stout IPA...usually Sierra Nevada IPA or Torpedo.
