Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Malort

Tastes like turpentine and grapefruit juice. The former I've actually tried accidentally... dipped my paint brush in my cup of water and took a swig of the other cup. Somehow, the malort was worse. Learned recently that they make a barrel aged version that they claim is

dare we say, sippable

We do not.

Somehow a friend of mine was convinced to try it, and now insists on taking shots of it every night out.

At least the taglines are accurate:

Malort: turning taste-buds into taste-foes for generations!

Malort: tonight’s the night you fight your dad!

Malort: these pants aren’t going to shit themselves!

Malort: the Gary, Indiana of liquor!

I am one of like less than 2% of the population that actually likes it.

To me, it just tastes like a gin that’s more…dirty? I dunno how else to describe it, but just more “dirty” pine. I actually enjoy it. 🤷‍♂️

Dumpster juice. That’s the best way I can describe it.

Tasted like my grandfather’s shoes

At uni, the go-to liquor at our events was made from malört and we would have shots of it served up. The taste is awful and it sticks in your mouth, I hated every single one but I have never passed it up either.

Did you go to uni in hell or chicago?
