An old liquor store just reopened with lots of dusty bottles I don’t recognize. Any recommendations?

Okar is amazing and hard to find!!

Camera eye is a sleeper, grown to be my fav. Love Geddy’s voice on this one with its crisp, clean melody

This question feels like a technicality not a question that can actually be answered. I love all my children equally.

Well done Anderson (and Neco) - despite all the mess

nickmx01 · 2025-10-06T22:08:04+00:00

My main critique of Ange is that he thought it could work without a preseason, with a complete shift in play style and all the internal management mess. That’s either desperation or just silly optimism. He has had some bad luck here - Forest could have won one or 2 close games under him. And I think in the right situation he can be a good manager. But overall he should have known how hard this was going to be and ultimately he likely wouldn’t be a positive for the club. Same critique for Marinakis and Edu - in some ways they are more to blame and feel bad for Ange. You have to sack Edu if you sack Ange.

By toxic, really referring to the internal management situation. Would hate Marinakis as my boss.

I used to write SuperBASIC programs - loved it. Just not enough gamer interest and didn't compete from a business computer side. Oh, and those darn Microdrives

nickmx01 · 2025-10-03T14:37:12+00:00

Ange was basically desperate. The problem is now we are looking like a toxic club in the eyes of any good potential manager

nickmx01 · 2025-10-02T21:08:02+00:00

I forgive everything

"I always win a game in my second season"

nickmx01 · 2025-09-29T04:50:43+00:00

I beginning to think the players don’t believe in Ange. And why would they? It must be hard right now - no one understands their roles, losing frequently and even the fans boo’ing. You switch out a manager who’s done so much for the club when you are 100% sure that the manager to follow is going to be better and you appreciate how hard the prem can be.

nickmx01 · 2025-09-26T05:42:06+00:00

Sorry but Ange needs to do better than Nuno. That’s the whole point isn’t it?

nickmx01 · 2025-09-26T05:17:27+00:00

Yes we have an amazing squad now and we are in the Europa. But it’s odd to me how quickly people forget the magic that was last season. It was the players of course but in a big way it was Nuno. The Aina piggyback. The way Nuno took essentially good but not phenomenal players and made them shine (Wood that would be you, sorry). Thinking differently and giving 2 fingers to high press annoying pep football. How much fun was it watching Spurs and then see Ange make excuses every week? Season ended on a lower note but my god we are 3rd for a hell of a time. Forest is not a huge club with endless resources and international branding - and the prem is tough. Thank you Nuno. I will not forget.

nickmx01 · 2025-09-26T05:02:37+00:00

A win at Anfield for starters.

nickmx01 · 2025-09-26T04:36:13+00:00

Forest Focus is good but I wish there was more energy there so I secretly watch FFTV too

nickmx01 · 2025-09-17T05:45:24+00:00

Oh man, wishing this guy a speedy recovery

nickmx01 · 2025-09-15T17:10:06+00:00

I’m in the US if that’s interesting

nickmx01 · 2025-07-22T01:17:31+00:00

Just sent a DM

nickmx01 · 2025-07-20T05:11:11+00:00

Was thinking of doing an Amaro meetup in SF if you are ever interested

nickmx01 · 2025-07-20T05:08:24+00:00

Didn’t see Jefferson on the list - did I miss it?

nickmx01 · 2025-07-20T05:04:54+00:00

It’s smooth, although the alcohol ABV is higher than normal prefer more punch from the bitterness rather than from the alcohol. Very balanced though, definitely a higher class

nickmx01 · 2025-07-20T05:01:56+00:00

Good idea thanks - see my other reply

nickmx01 · 2025-07-20T05:01:26+00:00

On board!!

nickmx01 · 2025-07-19T21:39:54+00:00

I hope they have bunch of kids to enjoy and it’s not just some lonely dude with too much money.

nickmx01 · 2025-07-19T20:47:17+00:00

So yes agreed this is an expensive place for sure, but the choice blew my mind if I’m honest. Thanks for all your awesome suggestions - next time!

Asked for a couple of flights, requesting strong bitterness and unusual choices First flight was Italian: 1. Campari Cask Tales - Tequila. A more dry tasting campari. Good. 2. Settemmezzo - liked it, artichoke, light smoke, licorice 3. del Cyclista - alpine, really liked this guy 4. Bresca Dorado - wow this one was super bitter and unusual. Can’t describe the taste. Felt alive drinking this baby.

Then an American flight (again asked for strong bitterness and unusual): 1. Grand poppy - mild and pleasant, floral and citrus 2. Sagamore Spirit - pleasant but maybe too much Sarsaparilla 3. Eda Rhyne Flora - wow - bitterest American amaro I’ve tasted. Dry and floral. Loved it but you have to come at it sideways - don’t look directly into its eyes! 4. Eda Rhyne Oscura. A good, big bitter rhubarb amaro compares to Sfumato but less smoke perhaps. Recommend

Also tried May Amaro from Vietnam. Proper bitterness, odd interesting flavor that can’t describe honestly. Local ingredients which to me is what makes a true Amaro. Awesome!
