General Beer Discussion by KENDOSURF
I just discovered this porter tonite, but the label is dated 2015 so it's not brand new. Room temp gives the smell of s'mores. Unlike NYFRB, this brew definitely has bitter beer flavor along with! OK, I have a few in the freezer right now. Also picked up a 25 oz can of BUD LIGHT STRAW-BER-RITA which I haven't opened yet. Curiosity is the motive. I bought gas at a local on my way home from work, after shopping at Walmart. Suddenly all the dash trouble lights lit up, and I stalled out at the side of the road. Walked the quarter mile to a State Police hq and used the emergency phone. Wasn't well dressed for the cold...but happily sn_wless...weather. Soon a Trooper showed up and gave me and my groceries a ride home...as the tow finally arrived! [8D]

Flavor's more rounded with being colder. Interesting contrast between sweet dessert aroma and dry porter flavor. Maybe the stretch is too far, keeping this from being regarded as a great brew in EITHER camp? What the hey...I'll give it a rest, and then open that Bud-A-Rita or whatever! [:D]
[:p][:p][:p] OK...STRAW-BER-RITA with DELALLO Green & Red Stuffing Peppers*...[8D] The STRAW-BER-RITA is a sweet watery artificial-but-not-unpleasant blend. I wouldn't like to have it around all the time, for sure! Can I drink it as a novelty right now? Yeah, I think so. [8)] *Best prepared Jalapeno Peppers I've ever sampled. Hot. Not Scorching. I emailed the company to ask for other glass packs from them! [^]
[8D] Experiment was a success, imo. The solution = add 1.5 oz (adjust to taste) of E'Dolce Amaretto to a 12 oz bottle of. Use COLD beer & booze. Now the dessert is complete, and the porter bitterness still stands out. Even lingers for a short while. Hey...howzabout capt'n Eli's Cream Soda mixed with, in [?] proportions...??? Maybe we should Check It Out! [:o)]

[8)] Um...yeah, you can create a drinkable concoction with porter-cream soda-amaretto. Won't win you any awards. Imo they should have decided to make this a dessert drink OR a dry porter.

I enjoyed this beer too! It was somewhat artificial tasting, but it was tasty nonetheless. t.
