Amaro is a wide range of types — what is your brand/variety that you recommend? I will suggest it to my wife.

Sfumato (smoked rhubarb!)
Montenegro (best entry level)
Tempus Fugit Gran Classico (expensive and tastes like it, glorious, higher proof)
Amaro Nonino
Cynar (artichoke)
Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro (tastes like cherries)

I love each of these.

I’ve tasted and passed over others that I don’t prefer, like Bonal (boring), Fernet Branca (very challenging), Aperol (for sorority girls).

Campari is excellent, but I don’t use it like the Amaros, I prefer it in the summer in a spritz, especially with Salers or Suze gentian flavored aperitifs.

If you can ever go to a well stocked bar, have them serve you a small taster of each. You’ll quickly recognize which flavor profile you prefer.

Good luck!

I was never much of a drinker and never drank to get drunk. Saw too much of that in my family. But I always had a taste for a fine single malt on occasion, especially when combined with a good cigar. Alas, all that went by the wayside when an accident in 2019 destroyed my sense of smell. Properly speaking, it was the surgery to repair my face that destroyed my olfactory nerve center. Couldn’t really enjoy a lot of things after that.

I’ll take the word of the Inventor of ethanol over a University of California-educated supplement salesman, with all due respect.

I’ll sing an extra verse or two of Amazing Grace at your passing, after I do 100 burpees on your grave.

Rhetorical and snide response. That does not come from the author of Ecclesiastes 10:2 or the One who inspired him.

You need to add more Biblical quotes to your SN. Might I suggest Psalm 104:15, Joel 3:18, Matthew 26:27-29, Mark 14:23-25, Luke 22:20, John 2:1-12, 1 Timothy 5:23 (especially) et al.

Saw TDN two times in the 1980s

1983 every original member was there except bassist Joe Scherme

1984 much smaller venue and that’s where I shook hands with Cory Wells.

After the show went up and spoke with Jimmy Greenspoon. He was a nice enough guy. It was brief; maybe a couple of minutes. Can’t remember if I got to shake his hand.

Great shows.

I prefer 1 Cor 6:19-20. Enjoy your rotgut.

Nonsequitur. And the Word of God is to be taken as a whole; quite plainly it does not support your Sharia-based assertion in post 6, which has nothing to do with its own multifarious condemnations of drunkenness.

Have a nice day.

Nothing about my post 6 has anything to do with Sharia. I simply said “There is no health or metabolic benefit to drinking alcohol in any form.”

I did not forbid anyone from doing anything. I certainly didn’t forbid you from coming to all the wrong conclusions here. You went ahead and did that all on your own.

And I’ll take the research from respected doctors and scientists over your own mal-informed opinion.

They boil the wort while brewing it, add the yeast when it gets below 80*

1Ti_5:23 Drink water no longer, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake, and for your frequent infirmities.

To: Eccl 10:2

Making false claims about alcohol is linked to Sharia, and not incidentally. And bringing up the fact that you did not attempt to dictate to others is a red herring.

What you call my opinion is not mine; I take God’s word over the doctors of this world, which your defensive posture indicates you don’t have as much confidence in as you assert. Like I said, have a nice day.

Love to, but without a sense of smell, it’s a waste. Another of my old favorites was Bunahabhain. Highly recommended.
