Voo Doo

This is a dark beer. . . marvelously dark. I noticed after a quick Google search of this beer, that many are drinking it from a snifter or a tulip glass. I would normally take the typical stout in a pint tumbler. But having this in my snifter allowed me opportunity to sit with it, and slowly let the deep dark aroma of the roasted grains and the hints of chocolate and coffee to harmonize and resonate in my sniffs and sips.


In this way, beer is meant to be appreciated and savored, not just chugged and abused. Take the time to enjoy what you have in your glass, and then, as Hedley Lamarr says, "Now go do that voodoo that you do so well!" ("Blazing Saddles", 1974)
