This week, the restaurant that I work at had the opportunity to get a very rare, specialty beer:
Bell's Bourbon Aged Cherry Stout
This beer cannot be found just anywhere. My restaurant was one out of two in the area that was lucky enough to receive this keg. They had only tapped it a few days ago, when I noticed it on the draft menu and simply had to sample it.
When I first sipped this Bourbon Cherry Stout, it almost tasted like a Cherry Pepsi at the beginning, and then you can begin to feel the warm burn of the bourbon. It is definitely a beer that challanges your palate.
It is only served in a 12oz glass due to it's high alcohol content of 8.5 percent, so drink with caution.
I don't know if I would necessarily pair this beer with any particular type of food. I feel this beer would serve as a great after-dinner drink, and dessert within itself.
I highly suggest going out and finding this beer in an area near you, and sampling the beer of a lifetime.
