Yeah, I'm with Revbob on coconut. No bueno is general. I won't definitively say no to any of the others in beer, tho. Lotta bad beers with sweet/dessert type elements but a few good ones too. Just gotta be explatory (easier to do if you accept you're just not gonna show up to the little league games)

Hoy and Flex do that exaggerated tug-at-the-collar-while-sweating gesture …
1. There are a lot of baseball games

2. Coconut, gross
I've had a handful of coconut stouts that were pretty good. There are worse stout adjuncts for me: cinnamon, any fruit, peanut butter.

Side note - 5 bottles/person limit is pretty generous. Secondary isn't going to go to triple digits at those limits.
I hate coconut in general so I steer clear of stouts with coconut and I like peanut butter on its own merit but is horrible in beer form. I accidentally got the left hand peanut butter stout once, fucking awful. Not a fan of cinnamon in my stouts either. Im ok with cherry and have had some with some raspberry too that I liked fine.
For my stout adjuncts, I basically am at:
Yes please: coffee, cacao nibs, vanilla
Eh, it's fine but I'm not seeking it out: coconut
Probably not going to like it but occasionally will be alright: fruit, cinnamon (spices in general)
Hell no: peanut butter

Barrel treatment -
Yes please: bourbon, rye, apple brandy
Could work, but not seeking them out with a lot of frequency: amburana, double/triple barrel treatments, rum, port, red wine
Shrug: new oak
Fuck no: peaty scotch
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yup. Tried and tried over the years, but every scotch I've had makes me just about gag. Bourbon? No problem. Irish whiskey? Oh, hell yes. Cheap Canadian swill? Bring it on. But scotch and me just don't agree. It kind of makes me mad, because I don't like having 'Hard pass' items when it comes to food and drink.

Of course, I'm not much of a drinker these days anyway... Me and Mrs. Public unapologetically drink White Claw, and summer is almost exclusively Pimm's season... :rolleyes:

Hello,

I don't often drink a Clown IPA, but when I do, it's always a Rodeo Clown IPA. It's actually pretty good. I'm not a big IPA person but this doesn't attempt to overwhelm the taste buds. When in Texas...
