Not a Root Beer Float


Because I felt like it. Yesterday I bought a Guinness Extra Stout not sure what is so extra about it. Tasted about the same as their regular stout. I then bought a small tub (single-serve) of vanilla ice cream. Made myself a stout float. That was an interesting bit of dessert. I’d say once the vanilla ice cream melted into the Guinness, the flavors blended well together and it went down almost like a chocolate shake. A chocolate shake it wasn’t. Nor was it a root beer float. Not really sweet at all.

Cold Weather Beers (and Spirits)


What are your favorite beers, and spirits to drink on a cold, wet day in February? Do you like spicy IPAs? Boozy Belgians? A Baltic Porter, perhaps? Or is hot, spiced wine or rum your thing?

Whatever it is, drink responsibly in the cold winter. And take a deep breath between mouthfuls to appreciate the beverage experience—Mindfulness.
