Boulder Shake. Anyone else love it?

[ptrthgr8]

A couple of months ago I fell in love with the Boulder Beer Company's chocolate porter... the Shake. Was only able to find it on tap until two days ago. I saw the bottles on the shelf and was informed they just got it in that same morning. Bam! Good timing on my part!

I described it to my sister in law as follows: "It's sorta like the Qwik bunny and Starbuck's mermaid got sauced on Guinness and B-52 shots and then got a little freaky. The end result is wicked awesome." She replied by saying it sounds like a weird movie. Indeed it does. But it makes a mighty fine beer. Nice evenness between the chocolate and coffee flavors (not too sweet, not too bitter) and not super heavy like some chocolate porters can be. I won't say it's a session beer, but you can easily drink 3 or 4 big glasses in a row before needing to change it up. It's better on tap than out of the bottle, but even the bottled version is a damn fine beer. Check it out if you haven't already!

Cheers,

Greg

Kinda Hot in AZ to drink porter, but you just talked me into it. Going to pick some up tomorrow.

Never too hot to drink a nice cold beer! Let me know what you think of it. The Jolly Roger Christmas Ale from Maritime Pacific (from my hometown of Seattle) is my all-time favorite beer, but the Boulder Shake has definitely made my #2 spot.

Love it! It is one of my favorite beers during the colder months.

I've had a PSD4 and a RyJ Churchill while drinking the Shake. Very good with either one. I'm not really one to pair cigars and beers (I go for whatever sounds good at the time) as I generally don't find that beers have the same impact on a cigar's flavor the way a scotch might... but different strokes for different palates I suppose.

If you're into chocolate beers Sam Smith does an excellent chocolate beer, as does southern tier
