Kudebeck Koumiss: A drink produced from the milk of Kudebeck's Gazelle. It has several vintages of varying potency. The best known vintage is the Great Victoria, produced on the planet of Victoria. It is considered a "warriors drink" and often served at officer's mess' in the Imperial Armed Forces along the Spinward Marches. Several regiments in the Imperial Marines have a custom of making a toast in Kudebeck Koumiss when setting out on campaign.

While some varieties are traditionally served cold, it is more common to serve it hot. It's most noted appearance was after Emperor Strephon's corronation when he appeared as a guest in the mess' of each regiment of the Guard by turn's, providing every one with a cask of Great Victoria.
