On the recommendation of some friends, we ventured out to a new ice cream shop in the neighborhood, Ample Hills Creamery. It’s a local venture, making custom ice cream made on site from local milk. Luckily, we had to wait in line, because the selection of at least 20 different flavors was overwhelming. Actually, after a quick glance, the choice for me wasn’t that hard: Otis Stout and Pretzels.
What more can I ask for in dessert? Ice cream, made with beer, with chocolate covered pretzels mixed in. . .it’s a match made in heaven! The chocolate and malt flavors from the stout balanced the heavy creaminess of the grass-fed milk, and the salty crunch of the pretzels was a nice pop of flavor and texture.
It’s nice to be reminded that the flavors of my favorite drinks are good flavors in-and-of- themselves, even without the alcohol. It made for a perfect treat to end the day.
