Bruz: I only got to taste a 22oz of this, which was also at least 12 years old & had a lot of thick swirls & fleshy chunks floating throughout it. The cap came off easily and it smells like minty beer. About to take my 1st sip, shortly after finishing a dinner of crabcakes, lima beans & rice, followed by some Bugles chips. First sip is shocking, to say the least! It tastes like I'm drinking Newports! Unbelievably horrendous. If I ever had to drink a full 40 ounces of this, I'd probably wanna kill myself first... as it is I'm dreading the remaining 20oz of this decade old cig malt. I'm about 1/3 done & am just sitting here utterly perplexed as to why this still isn't on the market... (sarcasm). I am actually getting used to it but that doesn't make it any better. Watching Armed & Famous - what a stupid show - but it's morbid curiosity on my part, like rubbernecking at a car wreck. I swear sometimes that I wouldn't be able to stand watching tv if it wasn't for the Comcast deals that I get. Ok, halfway done & it's definitely getting easier but my body still wants to reject it. I think it's starting to make my neck ache. This thing's cellular structure may have slowly mutated over the past dozen years into some sort of poison. The stuff sitting on the bottom looks like a pile of dirt. Now I'm watching TNA Impact while I finish this sludge off. Raven was just on tv. I have his cell phone number, and enjoy pranking him every once in awhile. Mmmm... nothin like warm liquid alcoholic menthol. Oh man, this tastes SO bad all over again! Getting heart burn. You just can't (or don't want to) drink this quickly. Down to the swill & my throat definitely aches. My exhale smells of dust. Can you believe I paid $20 to drink this via eBay? I don't even want the bottle since I have an empty 40 of it already. A piece of something just caught me in the back of my throat. Scum coats the bottom of this empty bottle now... 1/10 swills. Got the empty 40 courtesy of D. Hale!
40 Ounce Killa: Back in the early 90's, my brother worked as an EMT on an ambulance. One of the people he had to pick up every week for dialysis was an elderly woman who lived in a rather economically depressed, ethnic area of Boston. Every time my brother came to the house, the woman's son was sitting either on the front porch or on his bed, a 40 of Cool Colt in one hand, menthol cigarette in the other.
One time, my brother and I happened to be driving on the Southeast Expressway when we realized that Blanchard's Liquors (the undisputed champion of 40's and cheap wine in Boston) was one exit and a few minutes away. We bought a 40 of Cool Colt out of sheer curiousity, and shared it.
Well, the "Natural Flavors Added" was peppermint. The best way I can describe it is if you drank Colt 45 while you had about a half-dozen peppermint "Icebreaker" mints in your mouth. Since we shared the 40, I really can't give an accurate opinion on buzz factor, but I know I wouldn't want to drink more than one of these at a time, since I'm not crazy about the idea of peppermint-flavored malt liquor.
