GoCougarsWSU Drinking Corner: Night Train Express

<b>My Tasting Notes</b>
OMG this is some horrid stuff. But, if one can finish the bottle under 30min w/o puking you are the man.
a random well explained review.
"Don't let the 0.5% less alcohol by volume fool you, the Night Train is all business when it pulls into the station. All aboard to nowhere - woo wooo! The night train runs only one route: sober to stupid with no round trip tickets available, and a strong likelihood of a train wreck along the way. As a clever disguise, the label says that it is made by "Night Train Limited." Some suspect that Night Train is really just Thunderbird with some Kool-Aid-like substance added to try to mask the Clorox flavor. Some of our researchers indicated that it gave them a NyQuil-like drowsiness, and perhaps this is why they put "night" in the name. The picture (above right) shows that the subject that drank Night Train is down for the count, while the Cisco guzzling subject is ready to rock. Guaranteed to tickle your innards." -bumwine
<b>Hang Over Notes</b>
Absolutely. My head fuggin hurt from the last time I rode the train.
I lived in this old on Ruby Street in Pullman and came acoss one time a really old picture of some man. I couldnt fathom throwing the picture away because it belonged to some one who lived at this church long time. So I named him Uncle Gilly and hung him up above the fire place mantle. Well one night of hard core Friday night of boozing, we (about 15 of us) decided to run down to Don's Midway Grocery and get some more drinks. They had a special on this stuff. $1.00 for a bottle. So I bought every one drinks and headed back to my place.... Not not too sure I remember but anyways someone in our group decided to come up with a drinking game. If anyone can ride the entire train in under 30 minutes you can join 'The Uncle Gilly Club' Carve your name in the bottle's lable and place it up with Uncle Gilly. Needless to say, I didnt make it.... .... and I bet none of you guys could either. 6 guys made it w/o yakkin. I stopped at 25 minutes. 2 other guys I remember leaving early presumingly to go barf on the street.
<b>About Night Train</b>
Two words. Pure Funk. I only swallowed 1/3 of it, months ago, the rest of the 375ml bottle is still sitting in my fridge. Taste was "ok", but wore me down so much I just had to hurl up all the malt & wine sloshing around in my belly... I mean, fruit flavored malt + 2 different ghetto *** wines + some triple export malt liquor from the Pacific North West was not a good mixture of liquor.
But I'll let wikipedia explain its roots.
"Night Train Express (usually abbreviated to Night Train) is the brand name of an inexpensive fortified wine sold in the United States. The wine typically contains 17.5% abv.
The wine is manufactured by the E & J Gallo Winery, and is one of the products, along with Thunderbird, which formed a large part of the company's sales in the company's early days. Although not listed on their website, the winery will acknowledge its existence and send a list of liquor stores selling the wine through email.
Night Train Express has been a very controversial brand among civic leaders in major cities as it is felt that Night Train, as well as other inexpensive high liquor content drinks, contribute to vagrancy and public drunkenness of homeless people. Cities like San Francisco and Seattle have banned the sale of Night Train in downtown and skid row areas."
<b>Vineyard</b>
No clue. I'm guessing its all the mopped up wine off the floor of Gallo
<b>Alcohol</b>
17.6%
<b>Total Production</b>
I dont know and I dont think its over a million cases a year.

Drink an entire bottle, while listening to Guns N' Roses "Night Train".
I did that my freshman year of college once with a bunch of guys from my dorm. 3 minutes and 40 seconds or something. I barfed.

Nice creative writeup...had a few chuckles. You musta got an "A" in English 101.
You should put a "MadDog 20/20" on your list to do. I'm sure a few of us can share our experiences/circumstances on that writeup. ;-O
