Brewery's Review:
Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm, settle, breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakeably GUINNESS® beer, stout, or draught , from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS®.
My Review:
Oh.yes.we.did. (make beer cupcakes.) In celebration of my roommate's 21st birthday (for the third time,) we crafted homemade guinness chocolate cupcakes, and boy were they good. Guinness on it's own is a very thick and dark beer, which I don't find to be particularly appetizing. It is almost so thick that you have to chew the beer...gross! While I typically like dark beers, Guinness has a strong licorice taste which, accompanied by the beer's already thick nature, I do not find very pleasing. As part of a cupcake recipe, however, it was absolutely spectacular. Words cannot express how delicious these cupcakes are... the Guinness definitely enhances the chocolate flavors of the batter, making them crack for fat kids (a.k.a. me).
