Never heard of it, but I think that the geeks at IO9 are a bunch of nancies.

I remember hearing about this somewhere, but I can't find it for sale anywhere

It's big with Chicago hipsters. Zane Lamprey took a few shots on his Drinking Made Easy show and he described it kind of like Jager mixed liberally with Windex, I guess meaning more than a hint of ammonia.

For when warm rail tequila goes down too easy, I guess.

HA!

I remember hearing of the Brännvin on the No Reservations Iceland episode. But, I think that the spelling and pronounciatiton (and maybe the recipe) might be a little different, as it was Iceland and not Sweden.

Edit: Yep on that last p[art:

I seem to remember an post on here about it, but it looks like it was lost.

Mmmm...burning wine and fermented shark meat.

Is it as bad as a "spare tire"?...Sambuca black and tequila, tastes just like a new tire smells..

Shared a small bottle of Vatis Nächtlicher Spaßmacher with my brother-in-law a few years ago. Makes my eyes water thinking about it, and he still won't talk to me.

The strongest note was that of the rubber stopper.

Well, no thujone? Foregedaboudit! Go thru all that trouble stomaching that swill even though it's probably good for you (ever try liquid multi vitamins? Talk about swill) and not get really stoned? Please give me my whiskey and beer. Peyote buttons would fill the order.

You noticed that? Yeah, cheap tequila has that rubbery taste. That's why they are heavy on limes and Martguerita mix.
Drinking the finest right now.

yup, it's a chicago based drink. the logan square crowd gets their jollies by drinking shitty booze. i'd never heard of it until i came to chicago, and i can't figure out its appeal for the life of me, other the "cooler than thou because my drink tastes miserable" factor.

MOL is correct, unlike BMMS.

My first HBE, I was paired with a dude that lurked and was from the Windy City. He sent me a bottle of Malort. I had a couple sips and couldn't take it. I offered it up to the masses and I think Nic PM'd me from the Pacific coast and said she's take it. Maybe not Nic, but it was West Coast, North of LA and female. Any-who, I enlisted a pal in LA to deliver the Malort - dark suit, dark glasses, just knock, hand it over and leave, but my pal at the local packy across the street had consumed the bottle. And my friend in LA couldn't find it in the local packy. It's a total Chicago thing.

As memory serves, Malort is wormwood? Tastes nasty. Like, "I'd rather have a Prairie Fire shot than another Malort" nasty. It's hipster Chi-town and MOL hit it on the head w/ the "cooler than thou..." quote.

Please allow me to elaborate.
