629. Big Lug Brewing Co. (Indianapolis, IN) - Gatekeeper

The descriptions are all over the place, so instead we’re just going to shoot from the hip on this one. It’s possibly the richest coffee stout I have ever tasted. The coffee flavor hits up front, and then lingers into the dry finish on the back end. The can says 6.66% ABV (which I can totally appreciate), and it sort of feels like it. Everything smooths out as it warms, and it remains one of the best stouts I have ever had—and easily the best Big Lug joint I have ever had.

Deep Thoughts #346

Talking monkeys who pay to see movies like Witches of Oz 2 need to be electrocuted in front of their inbred, ICEE-drinking living abortions.

Deep Thoughts #345

You bought a ticket for Witches of Oz 2 on Fandango, you can’t find your QR code, and you want me to fix it? Fuck off and die, inbred bitch.

Cinema Observations #8

The last person to leave last night was a cunt who fell asleep watching Witches of Oz 2. She had her laptop open and her skanky-ass bare feet up on her seat and the seat in front of her. This is why Wicked movies should be coat-hanger aborted as soon as they register a heartbeat.

628. Left Hand Brewing Co. (Longmont, CO) - Peanut Butter Milk Stout

“Rhythm and Blues. Batman and Robin. Peanut Butter and Chocolate. These classic duos never go out of style. Enter Peanut Butter Milk Stout. We took the pure milk chocolate bliss of our classic Milk Stout and added peanut buttery goodness. It’s like an adult peanut butter cup you can drink. It’s rich and decadent on the palate and lusciously lingers into a nutty, dry finish. A perfect pair you’ll want to share.”

Um. Since the writing is fucking terrible, I’m going to ignore the description. The first little taste of the beer, though, was pure magic—possibly the most peanut butter flavor I have ever experienced in a beer. Unfortunately, the peanut butter part gets lost in the other milk stout bits upon subsequent sips and as the beer warms. It’s also a touch too sweet for the ABV (6.2%). Not bad, by any means—but no match for Peanut Butter Busted Knuckle, either.
