An interesting new/old flavoring agent

[KonaNeil]

I'll sometimes buy something simply because its new to me since after 60 years, there just aren't that many new things.

At the market last week noticed Peychaud's Bitters <Peychaud's Bitters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia>. A little makes a candy or nut flavor taste a little more complex, a little like a tobacco flavor does. Peychaud's doesn't have a citrus peel taste like Angostura Bitters. Works well in pipe and cigar flavors too. If I was talking about color, I would call it a drabber, making colors less cartoonish. Doesn't have any sugars or oils to clog up atomizers.

Works well in light beer as well. A few drops makes it taste more like real beer.

Uh oh, more expense! (gotta try this stuff)

Com'on... a year's supply is about as expensive as a Happy Meal;-)

Cool might have to buy it just to try a Sazerac cocktail.

I think I'll try the original Sazerac cocktail, the one that uses brandy. I have most of a bottle of St-Remy that survived hot toddy season and it'll be perfect for that.

Works well in light beer as well. A few drops makes it taste more like real beer.

I will certainly do that as well... grocery store beer in Utah is 3.2% and even the better microbrews are lacking flavor.
