Wow! This past Sunday I discovered the Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout made by the Southern Tier Brewing Co.
Let me start by saying I've had it in my basement for about two months. I kept saying to the wife how I'm afraid of it. Well it turns out it was one of the eye opening moments we all come across now and again.
I'll tell you all the complete story of how I've come to love this thing called beer in the near future, but right now let's stay on topic and let me tell you of the Creme Brulee moment.
Sunday night 8:00 P.M - I venture down into the basement (at this time of year it's a steady 55 degrees), grab the bottle and tell myself I'm going in.
I, in my novice mindset reach for a stemmed goblet and pour 4 or 5 ounces of a very dark, very aromatic beer. I watch the head die its death and leave only a hint around the edge. Bringing it to my lips, I inhale the most pleasing vanilla and chocolate aromas I think I've ever experienced. Now the taste; what a dessert. Rich, creamy and delicious.
I believe in following your instincts. I instantly went to the freezer for a bucket of Espresso Therapy ice cream...................... WHAT! I know! I can hear you right now as you read this. I firmly believe you could use vanilla or chocolate and get the same great dessert.
Back to my story - I dropped a scoop in and the result was fabulous. I encourage you to be brave and take the risk . You won't be sorry.
Till next time - Beers to you!
