Main Boss Imperial Stout

So on Friday, i did something i didn't think i would ever do.  I sat and watched all 4+ hours of the "Justice League" Snyder cut.  It was fine.  Way, way too long, but it was fine.  I guess.  Anyway, getting me through the whole ordeal was the delicious and vicious Main Boss Imperial Stout, a collaborative beer between Minnesota's Fair State Brewing Cooperative and Iowa's Pulpit Rock Brewing.  The 12% ABV brew pours black with a dark tan head and smells of vanilla, brown sugar, and malt with some hints of fruit.  The flavor is sweet and syrupy, a thick liquid dessert of molasses and vanilla along with some chocolate notes and plenty of alcohol.  This one won't be for everyone, but it sure did make for a good companion during a 4-hour movie.

Martin House Puppy Chow

I never knew i needed a beer with Chex in it, but here we are.  And Puppy Chow, an 8% ABV pastry stout from the weird and wild folks over at Martin House Brewing, certainly provides.  The beer pours a dark, inky brown with a light tan head and smells of chocolate, peanut butter, and cereal milk.  Brewed with said chocolate and peanut butter along with powdered sugar and Chex, sweet flavors abound but never get too out of control.  Everything is amazingly well balanced together.  Well done.
