Mac says A Good Beer for a Cold Night
February 20th, 2008
My wife is laughing at me because I took the thermometer out to check the temp of the beer after I poured it. I like my Stouts and Porters warmer. So instead of putting the bottles in the fridge, I put in down the basement. Usually, I leave them down there for a awhile to cool, but in this case I didn’t so I wanted to know the temp—60 degrees a little warm, but not too bad. Anyway, I found this to be interesting Porter. It has a great chocolate aroma and taste. I agree with the bottle–a nice beer to drink next to the fire on a cold winter’s night!!
