Guinness and Velvet

[biblemonkey]

Started making boilermakers with Guinness and Black velvet 8yr whiskey. I call it a "Canadian Clover". Pretty good, too. The Velvet really compliments the Guinness. Just thought I'd share.

Hmmm... on another thread some folks have given their critiques of the new Guinness Black (almost mistyped "bland"). Maybe a "Black and Black" as per your new find. Actually, I tired the Guinness Black with Blue Moon (a Black and Blue) and found it better than either separately!!!

The Guinness and Velvet does sound tasty. Although I still enjoy, if Im going to mix my drinks, Guinness and a good Irish Whiskey. I do enjoy certain beers and scotch that just seem to pair well. My favorite is usually something I enjoy in the cold of winter when the oysters are in season. A few dozen raw oysters on the shell, or even in shell because Im pretty good at getting to them, a glass full of cellar temp Old Rasputin Imperial Stout and a rocks glass with three fingers of Lagavulin. My preference is to be sitting out in the cold by a fire, a box of oysters and oyster knife in hand and these fine beverages to quaff as I eat my fill of oysters......

Nice. For some reason I really enjoy homemade popcorn when drinking beer or mixed drinks and nothing at all when having a fine scotch.

I myself enjoy a snake bite: Guinness and cider.

Funny enough that's the same name as one of my favorite shots. Yukon Jack and Sweet Lime.
