Outer Darkness Tastes Pretty Good!

          I went out with some friends last week to a new bar that specializes in craft beers - my favorite type of bar.  One of the beers on tap was called "Squatter's Outer Darkness", a Russian Imperial Stout.  With a name like "Outer Darkness", I just knew I had to try it.  And the beer was tasty - there was a sharp bite to the first sip, followed by the mellow stout taste that I love.  Although with a 10.5% alcohol percentage, I would recommend drinking in moderation.

          When I got home, I looked up the beer and discovered that Squatter's Brewery is located in Salt Lake City.  Which surprised me because I thought Utah laws only allowed light beers.  Am I missing something here - has there been a change in liquor laws?

    That is ironic! Glad you found a new favorite. I try new desserts, and fall in love every once in a while. So, even though I am not up on beers, I know how fun it is to find a new "something" that you love!! ;-)

    I'll definitely have to look for that one...I love porters and stouts, especially ones with fun names!

      Does that make me boring? ;-)
      Maybe I can bring something yummy to eat at the party? I make some great scones and truffles.

      I will put you on the Christmas List of people who want truffles. I can always make them Dewali or "Winter Solstice" Truffles. ;-)

      I would send some now, but they would be mush by the time they left the Portland Airport, you would never know what they were by the time they were delivered to you. Thus, I only mail them during winter months. :-)

      Mmmm...that sounds pretty good to me! And yeah, Texas in the summer is not a good time for chocolates!
