Drink Up: Kyle and Sarah's Black Flip

Ingredients (for one):

4oz Young's Double Chocolate Stout

3oz Malibu Black

1 egg

1.4 oz Maple Grove Farms pure maple syrup

nutmeg to garnish

Directions:

Remove carbonation from Stout. We used a shaker; it was a little messy (you can see in the pictures). 

Add other ingredients, except nutmeg, to shaker.

Shake shake shake!

Pour into glass and add nutmeg to garnish.

Drink and enjoy! 

Kyle found this on the internet, indirectly from here. We changed it up a little (as we do) and the result was pretty tasty.Try it if you like! Happy Holidays!

Stoudt's Scarlet Lady Ale

Friends I was with at Zeno's with were excited to see Stoudt's Scarlet Lady Ale on tap, so we ordered a couple pitchers. The room was dimly lit but it was easy to tell the dark red, copper color. Everything about this Extra Special Bitter was easy. It poured nicely and was easy to drink, hardly bitter at all (as some further research tells me is not unusual). I don't have much of a taste to really appreciate beer or identify smells and flavors (I've described several beers as tasting like soy sauce), though I suppose I liked it. I enjoyed it about as much as my undiscerning palate could enjoy a beer.

Kyle and I traded posting duties today! Oh married life...Check out his blog for a Saturday kitten post.  :-)
