Our brew today...
That would be a Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout from the O'Dell Brewery, and Boy does it ever live up to its name. This brew is a full, rich, chocolatey concoction that pleases the palate immensely... or my palate, at any rate. One of the Bros really likes it too, giving the beer an 89 rating (Very Good). From the tasting notes:
And now it's time to fire up a cee-gar and adjourn to the verandah to take in yet another one of the last o' the nice days.

From the tasting notes:
TASTE: Creamy, silky smooth, thick bodied, milky, subtle roastiness, chocolate throughout, modest hopping, big juicy kiss of alcohol, date sugar, mild spice, dark berries, faint orange peel, sweet creamy finishWhen Jason sez "big brew" I'm quite certain he's referring to the beer's 8.5% ABV content. We shall sip this one slowly.
This is a big brew, 12oz bottle took a while to conquer though I did not complain once. Seek this one out for something completely different.
And now it's time to fire up a cee-gar and adjourn to the verandah to take in yet another one of the last o' the nice days.
ok, this one is definitely on my list! chocolate... oh yes.
ReplyDeleteIt's GOOD!
DeleteChocolate beer. Now that a brew I could really go for. But that 8.5 probably means I won't be able to find it here in TN. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you mentioned this before... but what's the ABV limit in TN?
DeleteA low 6.0.
DeleteThat IS low. Most of the beer I drink is about 5.75 or lower but I do occasionally drink the stronger stuff.
DeleteIf I drank a chocolate beer, I would probably have to watch the movie "Chocolat." Keeping the theme going. Do they make chocolate cigars?
ReplyDeleteAlison beat me to the punch.
DeleteBuck,I'm sorry for overstepping! I couldn't resist... but I promise to restrain myself in the future...
DeleteYou're good, A. I sleep way to late for this blogging thing. ;-)
DeleteLou, I think the folks at Godiva chocolate must sit around and think of all the different things they can make out of chocolate. Lol! www.godiva.com/milk-chocolate-cigars/74126,default,pd.html
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm out of the baby-making game. I'd be embarrassed to gift one of my friends with one of those in lieu of a REAL cigar. "Perfect for celebrations," my ass. ;-)
DeleteBuck did you see the reference "Designed to be enjoyed by mature connoisseurs"? that one made me laugh!
DeleteYup... I saw that and thought "Well, how VERY PC!"
