Favourite Jah-maican booze

I thought it would be fun to write about my favourite Jamaican drinks. This will be different though: I’m a lightweight, I get drunk on a rather small amount of alcohol, and I’m going to drink a couple of measures of my favourite Jamaican drinks before I write about them each one. So here goes…

(Writing after 5 bottles of Dragon Stout) The bottled secretions of the legendary Jamaican Red Dragon has quite a sweet, caramelised malt taste to it, with very subtle chocolatey notes. It’s a bit thin for a stout – it’s more of a dark beer and it doesn’t have as much body as something like Guinness, for example…. but to be honest I think it’s better off for that. It’s easier to drink in the summer and/or with a meal than something like Guinness, and it’s an easy drink for a lager drinker. `Basically it tastes nice (preferably chilled) and it’s worth the £1 per half pint. The seven point five per cent kick-ass alcohol content is an added bonus if you like getting pissed

(5 Dragon Stout, and 3 bottles of Red Stripe) As for Red Stripe, I can’t understand what the fascination with it is. In my opinion it’s watery and it’s f**king crap, there’s nothing special about it.There are much nicer lagers out there. That doesn’t stop the Custard Factory from selling it for £3 a bottle though… rapacious bastards.

(5 Dragon Stout, 3 bottles of Red Stripe, and 4 shots of Wray & Nephew) Wray & Nephew… don’t get me started on this stuff. I remember drinking it neat when I was young, then my mates called for me on their bikes. I went out withh them and crached into numerous parked cars. They had to return me home so I could sleep it off. 63%! fock off. its too fucking strong
