Hello again! I haven't bothered you since May or June perhaps. I'm the Canadian guy who likes Warka (the Polish "park bench/paper sack" beer that we joked about). I got on to your videos back when I was getting home from work Thursday nights, and I'd brought home a few things to drink. Haven't seen a video from you for a while, and the catchy song brought back the memory (your Missus vocalized it well. Remember? It was your trivia question. De-dooby-dooby-dooby-doo...) Anyhow (you did ask) ... Tegernseer. I would pronounce that auf Deutsch ("in German") as "TAYgern-tzeer". There is Tegernsee, a town on a lake, and a "see" is generally a lake, like our Anglo-Saxon "sea". I assume a Tegernseer is a "local lad", a denizen of Tegernsee, something like that. Do any German speakers in the comments agree? Correct me if I'm wrong. I do remember their Helles (pronounced Hell-ess?) and I liked it. I'm keen to try the others, if I can find them. Thanks again, I enjoy your videos, especially when I'm trying new brews and watching late at night. Give shitty old Warka a try, if you can find it. I enjoy it. Amber, heavy, sweet, 6.3%, keeps the gun out of the mouth... 🙂 (Sorry, that last bit was horrible. Not serious.) Cheers!

The strong style of helles, sometimes called export, spezial, or edel is a Bavarian take of the Dortmunder export style of beer, in the same way that German pils is a take on the Czech Pilsner style.

The fun part of blind tasting is being surprised at the reveal. The results should compel one to reevaluate their experience when drinking the favored product and take a hard look at our bias for and against the products tested. OK, that was a lot of what sounded like lawyer speak. And, the results of the video test were simply the results of THIS video test. A re-test of the same bourbons in six months would likely result in new favorites. I'm not surprised by the choice of MM! I like MM - it's familiar, comfortable, and doesn't demand anything from you. It's easy, so when compared to multiple other whiskeys that are punchier or more distinct, it holds its own. IMHO. Good video as usual, Tom, and some good comments by other viewers.

I have had the pleasure of traveling all over America in a van, sampling IPAs all along the way. Bend Oregon is perhaps the highlight. A small ish town on the deschutes river up in the high desert, east of Portland, surrounded by the most pristine alpine wilderness, snow capped mountains and forests. The town has incredible breweries all over. Perhaps more breweries per capita than any other town in America (don't quote me on that), or so it feels. The IPAs created in that small town are incredible. I prefer the West Coast IPAs that are citrus/tropical forward with low bitterness. Its almost a blend between the New England and West Coast styles but they tend to call them West Coast IPAs. There are fantastic versions all over town. Paradise!

Hi Tom, I just thought that you might be interested to know that N&P (Nickolls & Perks) have a Jack Daniels single barrel, bottled in bond, travel exclusive reduced by 33% (down from £60 to £40) as it's been discontinued. Ordered mine a couple of days ago and it was delivered today. It comes in a lovely box and is in the same bottle style that their single barrel select and their single barrel, barrel proof comes in. I grabbed it as it's cheaper than the JD single barrel select at 90 proof and for the extra proof (and hopefully the taste) it was a 'no-brainer' really. I just thought that I'd give you a heads up, plus anyone else reading this can snaffle a bargain too.

Dortmunder beers used to be most popular style of beer in Germany until pilsners took over in the 70s. Great review. I love this beer, I like this equally as much as the Helles.
I tried the Helles again a couple days ago and it still takes the edge for me but I must admit it’s probably closer than I thought while filming this! Cheers!
@@TheCrumbyBeard I really love noble hops. I think that's why the max is closer to the helles than some people. It's also why I love Augustina so much as its one of the more hoppy helles.
Yay your back on the German beers, this one I enjoyed when I had it 🍺 👍😀
Haha, a few more to come too! Cheers Paul!
@@TheCrumbyBeard looking forward to the content pal 👍
I contacted BM last year regarding shipping to the States. It's something they don't do-yet! Sadly with no immediate plans either. My question is, what car were you driving?
Abarth 124 Spider (it’s a hot Fiat built on a MX5/Miata chassis), little 1.4 litre engine with a whopping turbo. Not hugely fast but great fun…but, I sold it last week. Debating wether to bring the new car to the channel or not 🤔
I started with the 101 before you were born. When Rare Breed was introduced around 90-91, I tried it...and it became my "go to". I consider it the older, more mature, more successful big brother to 101. Now, if you want a special experience, look for St. Augustine Port Finished Bourbon. I save it only for my most special friends.
That sounds incredible. Sadly no signs of availability in the UK right now but I’ll keep an eye out! Cheers!
Bullet is toilet water.
I live in Atlanta, and it's always available for 25 dollars. It's fine, but there's usually a store pick that's a higher proof and a lot better.
Sipping my first glass now. Fantastic and somewhat unique. I bought it because I've already have (and enjoy) the Rampur Asava whisky.
I’m yet to see this on a shelf in the UK, would like to give it or any of their other offerings a try!
The fun part of blind tasting is being surprised at the reveal. The results should compel one to reevaluate their experience when drinking the favored product and take a hard look at our bias for and against the products tested. OK, that was a lot of what sounded like lawyer speak. And, the results of the video test were simply the results of THIS video test. A re-test of the same bourbons in six months would likely result in new favorites. I'm not surprised by the choice of MM! I like MM - it's familiar, comfortable, and doesn't demand anything from you. It's easy, so when compared to multiple other whiskeys that are punchier or more distinct, it holds its own. IMHO. Good video as usual, Tom, and some good comments by other viewers.
Absolutely - all feedback taken onboard and when I get chance (manic few weeks) I’ll be re-visiting this video with a different approach. Cheers!
Buffalo Trace is 45%abv in America It's the only drink for me
Yeah, sadly only 40% here but I have since got a 45% store pick and it’s sooo much better!
Not a complaint but with the stout I have this approach successfully poured 2/3 head 😂. Well at least now I know I can pour a head so I’ll just go a bit easier next time
Haha, yeah it is possible to over do it, but it should still come good in the end. Cheers!
It’s 45% here
I have had the pleasure of traveling all over America in a van, sampling IPAs all along the way. Bend Oregon is perhaps the highlight. A small ish town on the deschutes river up in the high desert, east of Portland, surrounded by the most pristine alpine wilderness, snow capped mountains and forests. The town has incredible breweries all over. Perhaps more breweries per capita than any other town in America (don't quote me on that), or so it feels. The IPAs created in that small town are incredible. I prefer the West Coast IPAs that are citrus/tropical forward with low bitterness. Its almost a blend between the New England and West Coast styles but they tend to call them West Coast IPAs. There are fantastic versions all over town. Paradise!
Now that sounds like a proper road trip! 🍻
Rare Breed is buttery smooth on the tongue and shows it’s heritage going down. I love it.
Just bought a 46 yesterday. Its the same bottle as the regular makers but with a red label and marked the same as the 46 cream label. Also has a screw cap. I gotta say im kinda disappointed. Too much leather notes, and kinda oaky. Not as bad as woodford double oaked but a little easier on the palette. Not my favorite by far. For a few bucks more I'll get a bottle of 4 roses single barrel every time.
Four Roses SB wins for me too I must say. I’ve not had a bottle for years though, I need to fix that! Cheers!
My bottle is from 22/11/2023. Amazing whisky 😋
Just subscribed man! From the states 🇺🇸
Cheers! Welcome aboard 🍻
I've had mine for 4 or 5 months now - and I definitley think it adds to the Guinness drinking experiance. The beers are as close to a pub poured pint you can get. I only drink on a Friday or Saturday night so the extra cost for the cans doesn't really impact me too much.
Also, 4:18 I am sure Guinness themselves had said the 2 part pour is a gimmick, and a hangover from the past days of cask beers. So no shame in just going for a 1 part pour!
Oh interesting. They were definitely still pushing it with the marketing for this!
Hi Tom, I just thought that you might be interested to know that N&P (Nickolls & Perks) have a Jack Daniels single barrel, bottled in bond, travel exclusive reduced by 33% (down from £60 to £40) as it's been discontinued. Ordered mine a couple of days ago and it was delivered today. It comes in a lovely box and is in the same bottle style that their single barrel select and their single barrel, barrel proof comes in. I grabbed it as it's cheaper than the JD single barrel select at 90 proof and for the extra proof (and hopefully the taste) it was a 'no-brainer' really. I just thought that I'd give you a heads up, plus anyone else reading this can snaffle a bargain too.
Oosh that is a bargain! Arghhh, I really want to but I need to show some restraint this month. I'll think about it 😂
@@TheCrumbyBeard Yeah, you don't want to buy this bottle ! I've just tried it and it's by far the best JD I've ever had, it's absolutely stunning, doesn't drink anywhere near it's proof point, it's so easy sipping it's unreal ! Deep, rich, dark and has a long finish too and all of this is just on the 'neck' pour, I'm hoping for even greater things when it's opened up after a while. I'll be getting myself a 'back-up' bottle for this, for sure, so yeah ! You don't want any of this.......lol, it's not for you Tom, nothing to see here, just move along buddy 😂
@@ShaunShearman Thank you for helping me with this dilemma 🤣
Sad newsi had to stop drinkingbut i still enjoy these reviews
Got to do what you need to bud! Cheers!
Nice one!! I was lucky to visit Springbank & Glen Scotia this year. Got there early with probably 15-20 persons ahead of me in the que. No regular bottels left anymore. Like you mentioned yourself: people leaving with boxes. I mamaged to get two cage bottles (Kilkerran & a Longrow). No Springbanks as they were also taken out first. Like yourself we went on to Whisky West coast and they did have the regular Springbanks on the shelf. 10, 15 & the 18 but too expensive. Nice guy though! Need to go back again! . Cheers & keep the vid's coming!
Cheers! Yeah it's bonkers how they sell out so quickly but such is the demand I guess. I would've felt worse about the two bottles of Fifteen had I not seen what others were doing earlier in the day. Enjoy the Kilkerran and Longrow, they'll be brilliant!
Had this beer 01.08.24 i was very disappointed very expensive paid nearly £4.00 for a470ml can, more like a Guinness stout than a true porter, yesterday I had a Sam Smith porter which was supior in my opinion stronger at 5% and more taste, this beer is typical nitro beer, I've had them all Guinness,black heart, Murphy,and the other Irish stouts you class it as fantastic to expensive, but will try that monkey stout
