Happy National Margarita Day!

You may prefer tequila to beer, but that doesn't mean we can reach out the hand of congratulations! 

Caribbean Chocolate Cake

Caribbean Chocolate Cake

Sampled at ChurchKey, Washington, DC. Nicely poured and sampled beer. Not a Devils Food, but a rich German chocolate, minus the nuts and stuff. Really good.

12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout

12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout

Sample Rustico - Alexandria. While in the title this is listed as bitter, it is listed as unsweetened chocolate in other areas. It should be bitter chocolate because that is the flavor that is running throughout beer. The oats make in odd digestive track, almost as if they were selected for another purpose. It may be a 12th anniversary selection, but there needs to be more accurate labeling to start.

Ryan and His Gosling

Sampled at Rustico. It had some taste, but this was quickly covered by at taste from the base. Successive taste were just the same - it would start to have some taste, but quickly overridden.
