Beer For Breakfast featuring Sunup Brewing White Russian Imperial Coffee Stout
·8 min
The episode begins with the hosts introducing their weekly 'Beer for Breakfast' segment, focusing on Sunup Brewing's White Russian Imperial Coffee Stout. They note the beer's 9.3% alcohol by volume and its bronze medal win at the Great American Beer Fest seven years ago. The hosts describe the can's artwork, which features Soviet-era propaganda style, and comment on the boozy aroma upon opening. Dave takes the first sip and is alarmed by the intense chocolate flavor, which surprises his taste buds. Mahoney and Audrey join in, noting the beer's creaminess and boozy warmth. Audrey shares her personal history with White Russians, having bartended and consumed large quantities, but finds the beer's bitter aftertaste overwhelming. Chris nearly vomits after slurping the beer, experiencing a straight alcohol taste that differs from the initial chocolate notes. The hosts speculate that the beer might be unevenly mixed or better suited for nitro tap service. They debate the rating, with Mahoney settling on 3.7 out of 5, while others express mixed feelings due to the inconsistent flavors. The episode wraps up with promotional reminders for their podcast.
