Sunday Night Suds - Shiner Candied Pecan Porter

 

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Shiner's Candied Pecan Porter.

Much like last year's S'more Chocolate & Marshmallow Ale (reviewed here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/02/sunday-night-suds-shiner-smore.html) this is not a beer that you can have with any kind of chili, wings, sliders or other fleishig fare.

I picked this up at Total Wine on Old Country Road in Westbury for the low price of $8.99 a six pack and after confirming with the Va'ad of Detroit that it is under their kosher supervision (they have not put out a new LOC since December 2019), I began experimenting with the beer. 

The first bottle was enjoyed as an aperitif following the fish course at lunch this past Shabbos. Mrs KB and future KB/young talmudical scholar both thoroughly enjoyed the beer. Although the beer is a porter in name and perhaps in style, other than the coffee backbone, this beer is basically a dessert beer...and it is delicious.

The second bottle was paired with paired with gluten free chocolate brownie, not because I am into gluten free, but just because it was something sweet which I happened to have handy when I drank the beer. The pecan praline and vanilla notes worked very well with the ersatz brownie too.

I would recommend sharing this with your spouse after dinner on a Friday Night and away from the kids who will want to try it. It is 6% abv, but keep this as a treat for you and your AC (aishes chayil). 

The Shiner Candied Pecan Porter is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit although there is no symbol on the the bottle. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew click here beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/143/351197.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
