The **Now Drinking** Thread

This beer advent calendar is frigging awesome. Everything from French, German, Tahiti, Belgian, ... blondes, abbey, weiss, doppel, etc.

A little behind.. but tonight's is "Poperings Hommel Bier" which still has yeast sediment and at 7.5% 33cl.. is rather nice :D Last night was "Paulaner Doppel" which was about 8-9% IIRC.

Will be doing this genius idea again next xmas.

Currently having a mug of egg nog, recipe below for two:

2 Eggs, separated
75 g Caster Sugar
100 mL Cognac
100 mL Double Cream
100 mL Whole Milk
Freshly grated Nutmeg

Put yolks and whites in separate bowls. Whisky whites until foamy. Add sugar to yolks and set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk yolks until pale and thick. Add cognac and whisk to combine. Add milk and double cream and whisk to combine. Heat to at least 65 °C (but not more than about 75 °C). Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the egg whites. Portion and grate nutmeg on top.

Nom nom.
 
Its a nice glass, but its a bit of a novelty more than anything. Its actually a little on the small side, so it doesn't hold a lot. Probably wouldn't use it much any other time of the year. No regrets buying it though :)
 
I hate normal Starbucks coffee.

But went to the Starbucks Reserve concept store in London, and had Syphon Coffee.

£6 a cup. But it was worth it.

Its a fun experience, I got to smell on the beans before choosing. They actually know a lot about coffee.
