RON SWARNER: THE RED HOT KNOWS WHAT SUNDAYS ARE ABOUT >>>
There's
only one way to improve on dessert, and that's to find a way to sneak
some alcohol into it. Sure, this tactic has left us with a world full
of rum balls, rum cakes and rum tarts, but don't blame The Red Hot. Here, owner Chris Trashcan has come up with the coolest, most beerific
dessert: the beer float. Served in a pint glass, this beauty combines
their choice of beer and vanilla bean ice cream. Put a spoonful in your
mouth, and the melting ice cream immediately alters the liquid balance
of the beer, causing it to melt across your tongue like a dessert
served at a fancy restaurant. Cool.
Today, The Red Hot is mixing Black Butte XXI â€" a Reserve Series batch of “double†Black Butte Porter â€" with the ice cream. This Deschutes Brewing product is brewed with chocolate beans and coffee, with 20 percent aged in bourbon barrels. It’s 11 percent alcohol by volume.
The Black Butte XXI tastes better with ice cream than Guinness because of the chocolate backend taste, rather than the bitter taste that often appears with Guinness.
The Red Hot’s beer floats are a Sunday only treat. They’re open until 10 p.m. today.
