Picked up a bottle of this on Friday. The Old Fashioned is kind of a big thing around these parts and while I like them, I typically don't like mixing drinks at home. This takes away that problem. Just mix with Squirt and I can have an Old Fashioned Sour in minutes. 65 proof, too, so it will keep you warm on a cold Wisconsin night.
Squirt and brown is the true American standard.
God bless the U.S.A.

Bernie's Smitten Mittens Maple Smores Stout. Tasty as fuck lots of flavors but not overwhelming. Clocks in at 6.8% abv. You could easily go for a second...and I have.

For sure but unlike a lot of dessert beers I wasn't regretting it halfway thru.

6.8% is pretty nimble too for a dessert stout.

The "pastry stout" craze is pretty hit or miss for me. You'll have a 14%abv poorly attenuated non-barrel aged stout with all sorts of adjuncts and it's just a hot mess, or you can have a tight, rich roasty stout with a well balanced undertone of vanilla or coffee.

On that note, cinnamon in my stouts is a dealbreaker for me. I'm not really into fruited stouts either, but I haven't been as traumatized by those as cinnamon. Same thing for citrus in my sours.
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.

I had a good stout with cinnamon once. It was called an Aztec stout or some such thing. Ive since tried others that were absolutely horrid. I don't really want citrus in any beer and fruited ones are pretty hit/miss. I knew I was taking a gamble on this one I got yesterday like you said they can just have too much shit thrown in sometimes but its a local place that makes some good small batch beers so it felt pretty safe and it paid off.

Zero Gravity is one of my favorite local places. A former Red Sox pitcher is known to stop in from time to time.

Is it Schilling, checking for illegals or trans people in the bathrooms?
