Translation:
swallie: swallow, consumption of alchohol, the swallow.
Yes indeed, with one eye I never see double or get cross eyed no matter how long I indulge in consuming alcohol.
On consideration though it makes me very hungry and I often start up the barbecue.
I like to marinade the meat in alcohol first though.
It gives it a much better taste because I really take my cooking seriously.
Let’s drink to that.
Homer’s Odyssey.
Odysseus thinks some compliments and a few beers are going to get him into the good books of Polyphemus the Cyclops, but Polyphemus seems to see him as something to go into a bun with some mustard.
Cyclops Beer Descriptor.
Cyclops is an easy-to-use set of descriptors developed by the beer industry to explain what a beer will look, smell and taste like. The web site as it stands at time of writing is a bit hit and miss.
It lists beers and gives them a look, taste, smell, their hoppiness to malt and their ABV value. You can search for your favourite beer here and see if it is listed.
