Dessert beer.
It’s a term I like to use with beers that are sweet enough to
have as a dessert. (Makes sense, huh?!)
Sea Dog Brewing Company’s “Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter” isn’t
necessarily a “dessert beer”, but it’s tasty enough to serve with your
desserts! Check out this Portland, Maine brewery’s website to learn more about
their many brews. www.seadogbrewing.com
It pours out with that rich, dark brown color and that light
brown frothy head. Porters are sometimes too “earthy” for my personal taste,
but not this one: it was full-bodied and satisfying. The hazelnut didn’t hit me
until the finish. Nice and crisp!
That’s when I said: “How about some chocolate?!” What a
flavorful combination! (I must admit: I LOVE chocolate!) I started to think of
all the tasty foods I could pair with this tasty brew- from chocolate-covered
pretzels… chocolate-covered graham crackers (a childhood favorite!)… to those
All-American desserts like brownies, cupcakes or that classic: a piece of
chocolate cake! (Can you tell that I LOVE chocolate?!)
As I said earlier: this brew is tasty enough to serve with
some great treats! Enjoy with your snacks or desserts!
Sea Dog’s Hazelnut Porter has a 5.6%ABV- so drink
responsibly!
Dare I say: “You can have your cake and drink it
too?!”
Cheers!
