My mom (we're part Irish) insists that this is an Irish trait, as my granddad and his brothers all loved eating chocolate with stout (or, well, any beer).

Huh. Look at me, being all with the stereotype.

That coffee stout sounds lovely, and I'm not even that big a coffee fan.

Well, see, I thought she was full of crap, since her data were drawn from just our family. But then you wander along, being all Irish and chocolate-and-stout loving, and proved she's NOT full of crap. (At least, about this.)

Oh, I love the Berkshire Brewing Co's Coffeehouse Porter. Also, TomW and I just tried Ommegang's Chocolate Decadence chocolate stout, this past weekend. It was good, although the nose had a kind of musty aroma. Tasted nice though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't like coffee (I like Blue Mountain), and I don't like beer (but I do enjoy the odd stout). That coffee/stout (slashed because they're doing porning things to each other, up to and including head) sounds MARVELLOUS.

Can I go home yet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm afraid that chocolate stout business sounds to me like it would be nastly like Coke Blak.

Ommegang's Chocolate Decadence chocolate stout

I haven't had that Ommegang beer, but every other Ommegang I've tried has been spectacular.

I wouldn't drink it every night, but it was definitely nice to try.

It really depends on which chocolate stout you try (some are good, and some are the nast!). Ditto with coffee stout.

The oddest thing for beer that sort of worked I had was Beer Works Peanut Butter Porter. Sort of like a less sweet Reese's dark PBC in liquid form.

Can someone explain to me the funnyness of this?

when I think of mixing stout and stuff I think of mixing stout and ice cream which is really nummy and I wish people would stop looking at me funny about it.

This is your golden opportunity to kill someone with your thumb!
