Today in Bever
age management class we were privileged enough to do a beer tasting at NECI on Main. Denis started off with a tasting of ale (long trail) and a lager (Von Trapp). We compared and contrasted the flavors of the beer. Afterwards, Dennis gave us all some semi-sweet dark chocolate to try with the beer. It paired really well with the lager, not so much with the ale. One of the students, Todd, brought in some specialty beers that he collects. We had a coffee oatmeal stout, scotch ale, and a double baq. I liked the oatmeal stout the best, and it tasted great with the dark chocolate. The bitterness of the dark chocolate took away almost the entire coffee flavor in the oatmeal stout.
