I'm making some aji de gallina for dinner, and sipping this badass stout. Oddly enough, I'm getting a bit of that root beer aftertaste that THP was getting from a stout he had a week ago, or so. I did have an insanely hopped TIPA(Sensai), right before this.
THP, did you have a juicy IPA before that stout you were talking about?
I wonder if there is a lingering hop alkaloid from a certain type of hop, that blends with a bourbon barrel aged stout, to cause a root beerish flavor.
