Re~20 and Stewart using "Amber Nectar" to describe what is most likely the finest spitit ever invented(apart from a spirit that shares its bame with a certain famous general).
Amber Nectar was and always will be Necastle Brown Ale, unfortunatley the do not bre the real Amber anymore (the one with the blue label).
Hope you all ahd a belly filling, alcohol filled day. We had 17 for dinner and no arguements, how strange is that!

I just cut out the middleman and start and end with our national drink, sometimes called the amber nectar by us, unlike your aussie amber nectar,Ours tastes much better. I had a few drambuies last night seeing as it was christmas and I am saving the famous grouse for new years eve. Suppose I should think of the old liver but as I have reached almost 72 its not worth worrying about as I had a body scan recently & they said my liver was fine & thats after a lifetime of sticking to spirits, cheers mates.

Yes but here in Oz we can get the amber fluid cold without having to wait for a frosty night to do so.
