Casillero del Diablo malbec -- meh. Not bad, but not outstanding. Label could be blacker, too.

Refining the grog recipe

3 dashes cajun bitters

1 part simple syrup

2 parts lime juice

3 parts smith&cross

Evil Twin Disco Beer. Meh. Decent IPA but they threw it in a chardonnay barrel and killed what would have been a triple IPA bitterness. Still bitter but more like an excessively dry hopped flavor. $9.50 for a 12oz bottle, so WTF?

EDIT: Just read the Ratebeer description and realized that it's blended with chardonnay (10% thereof), not barreled. Weird.

Still tasting slowly. It really is like a disappointing Pliny, halfway between the elder and the younger but so frustratingly cut with something that doesn't belong.
