So I've returned to the land of ice, snow, cold, and generally shitty winter weather also known as Canada. I'm safe, sound, disease free, and generally had a good time. That said, there are some lessons that should be passed on:
Beers discovered:
Presidente (Dominican Rep.) - Good the first time. Also good served at minus 5. Otherwise...
Bohemia (Dominican Rep.) - Definitely does NOT to justice to it's namesake - no self respecting Bohemian would drink this swill.
Prestige (Haiti) - First lager I've ever tried that tastes as good luke-warm as it does cold. Just for the record, it tastes good cold.
Liquors Discovered:
Brugal Anejo (Dominican Rep.) - The Dominican Republic's answer to Lambs amber. Tastes about as bad too. This doesn't even go down well with coke.
Brugal Extra Viejo (Domincan Rep.) - A significant upgrade over the Anejo, goes very well with coke, and can be drank straight up as well.
Barbancourt Reserve Speciale (Haiti) - Aged 8 years in oak barrels, quite bluntly, this rum kicks ass - and I don't like rum.
Everything else has already been covered previously. Read it if you want.
Anyhow, that concludes the public version of my trip. Keep checking in, as I'll update as regularily as there's an interesting story to tell, or I feel like voicing my (intelligent, witty, and valuable) opinion on something. Te Salut.
