A bottle of Paradox Smokehead from BrewDog brewery in Fraserburgh, Scotland, at Olympen in Oslo.
According to the bottle, this imperial stout has been matured on Islay whisky casks from Smokehead distillery. And I could tell: The aroma was that of whisky but with a sweet undercurrent from the rich maltiness of the brew. The body seemed lighter than many other imperial stouts but was still very rich and complex, with smoked whisky flavors blending with the roasted and sweet malts of the stout. A huge beer by all means and at 10% abv not for the faint at heart!

This is Aristella, or "Muffin". Her eyes and her wig haven't arrived yet, and I need to send her off for a face-up. She's so cute though! I love her pointy ears and her pouty lips.
LCD arm from Ergo In Demand (25-KCB-110B). I can position the monitor in my sight line no matter how I'm reclined and it doesn't interfere with the sound system.
The speakers are Gallo Reference 3s driven by a Bolder Cable modded Squeezebox 2 into a Modwright SWL 9.0 SE preamp feeding an EA modded Carver ZR1600 amplifier (plus the Gallo bass amp).

The mirrors were produced c1888 by James Carter of 273 Gray's Inn Road (over the road from The Water Rats but the building is modern) and are back-painted in both gilt and colour. Two of the mirrors are on the bar-back and are obscured by huge cheques showing how much had been collected for charity in one case, and in the other by numerous prizes to be raffled for charity. Part of the decoration on the mirror behind the raffle prizes looks like a jungle scene, so it is possible that this commemorates one of Nelson's first campaigns, an amphibious action in Nicaragua in 1781 where he nearly lost his life because of yellow fever.
