I got this idea about trying some so-called “dessert beers.” I mean, I’ve heard people talk about them, something about beers that taste like dessert. So I started reading on it and found out these are not some specific type of beer. They are just regular beers like barleywines, porters, stouts, and even brown ales, but with a twist. The twist, as they say, is that they are usually stronger and sometimes taste pretty sweet, just like a dessert.
They can have chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and even lactose. I was like, “Okay, this sounds interesting.” So, the other day I went to the store and saw this Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. The bottle said it had 10% alcohol, and the price for six bottles is $12.99. Not bad, I thought.
I bought a six-pack, took it home, and chilled it in the fridge. Then, I poured one into a glass. It looked really dark, almost like coffee. I took a sip, and wow, it was really rich and chocolatey. It was like drinking a dark chocolate bar, but in beer form. Pretty cool, huh?
Then I thought maybe I can add things into this beer. I got some vanilla ice cream from my fridge, put a scoop into the beer. It was a bit messy but I tried it. This was good. The ice cream made the beer creamier, and the vanilla flavor mixed well with the chocolate. It really did taste like a dessert!
