The Results of Fawkes Science!! 2011
(Wherein Partygoers are given Irish Cambombs whose ingredients have been prepared double blind, so neither the preparer nor the drinker knows what brand of Stout, Whiskey, and Irish Cream they are consuming.)
Average rating by ingredient:
Whiskeys
Jameson 12-year - 7.68
Feckin' Irish Whiskey - 6.58
The Knot - 6.23
Irish Creams
Emmet's - 7.35
Bailey's - 6.57
Carolan's - 6.45
No ratings for Stouts this year. The stouts weren't blinded, so that data is tainted.
Conclusions
We have an upset in the whiskey category. Jameson's regained its crown from Feckin' Irish Whiskey, which had been the top whiskey last year. (Caveat: Last year, the Jameson was 10 year aged. This year it was the premium 12 year.) Though tasters had excellent things to say about The Knot drank straight, it did the poorest in the mix ratings.
The Irish Cream ratings are consistent with last year's results: Emmet's on top, Bailey's in the middle, and Carolan's on the bottom.
Not enough Science!! for you? Here, have a hamster-powered robot.

Nope, just a funny time. I wish it was a hot sexy time.

We recently picked up a bottle of pumpkin pie spiced cream liqueur, and my god, it would be an stunning substitute for Irish Cream in an autumn-themed car bomb.
