Stout, the breakfast of Champions

[razorjak]

Oh my stars and garters!

Ben & Jerry has a BLACK & TAN flavour ice cream? Why has no one told me this before?

I find this out the same day the doc clears me to imbibe "judiciously". So I went and treated myself to New Holland Brewery's oatmeal stout called "The Poet". It's one of the malty type stouts that I truly love.

Have I mentioned how much I love Michigan? We have some of the best breweries. How can one go wrong with a oatmeal stout which has a full moon behind a crowing raven on the label?

This will keep me happy until Founder's Brewery starts churning out the Breakfast Stout again next summer.

what flavor would that be? never heard of black & tan...

A Black & Tan is a drink which is half stout, half ale or lager.

A CLASSIC B&T is Guiness and Bass. Though some will use Harp lager instead of Bass pale ale in order for the B&T to be "all guiness". ( Harp being brewed by Guiness.) That's usually called a half & half instead of a Black n Tan.

I've seen a B&T called a black & blue in the local brewpub. That being stout and blueberry ale.

I make a B&T with chocolate stout and cherry wheat ...

But the B&T that B&J make is a cream stout flavoured ice cream with chocolate ... I MUST find some.

I have yet to try it, but it's in stores here (waiting for B&J to go on sale again, cuz I'm a brokarse mofo).

Mmmmm, oatmeal stout.

They also make this one...*looks it up*...Dublin Mudslide that's like Bailey's, with chocolate cookie chunks in it. So good. They've been playing with the liquor flavors, I think.
