    Guinness, Bluberry Ale, Gin and Tonics, and that's all for now.

    I've found that Amarula cream liqueur is quite nice straight or on the rocks... It's a South African liqueur made from the fruit of the Marula tree (or elephant tree) Saw it on an episode of the Thirsty Traveler and me and the wife had to try some. Now my fav as far as cream liqueurs go. Otherwise, a nice irish whisky does the trick.

    Ommegang Abbey ale. A belgian ale with a spicy sweetness and a creamy head. Simply excellent with a good smoke! Especially a Maduro. As far as beer styles go, there is none better IMHO. Other than that, any barleywine, stout, or scotch ale will do. Any beer with low hopping and a spicy or smokey maltiness is what you're looking for.

    Port is good too. Cognac/bourbon/scotch straight up. Cognac/Bourbon with a splash of amaretto (Cognac with a splash of Amaretto is one of my favorites) . Coffee and Kahlua over ice.

    Some like a good merlot or burgundy. Personally, I'm not particularly fond of fine wine and cigars together. I don't like tart flavors along along with a smoke. My tastes may change with time though.

    I like Southern Comfort for a liquor somtimes on the rocks mostly straight up and Dos Equis with lime in a frozen mug for a beer. Ahhh, I can taste it now....

    I was reading this month's Real Beer News and remembered SOMEONE around here drinks Ommegang...

    Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y., can't make enough beer, so has
    turned to its "parent" - Duvel Moortgat in Belgium - for help. Moortgat
    recently began brewing Ommegang's flagship Ommegang Ale for sale in 750ml
    bottles in the United States, and will continue to do so until Ommegang's capacity
    catches up with demand. The first shipments have reached Ommegang's
    East Coast warehouse and bottles should be on the West Coast by Sept. 22.
    Brewery Ommegang will continue to make Ommegang Ale to be sold in 12-ounce
    bottles and occasionally in kegs as well as the range of beers it has added
    since first brewing Ommegang Ale in 1997. Athough Ommegang expanded capacity
    40% in 2005, rising demands means that production of the 750s of Ommegang Ale
    in Belgium may continue through 2006.
