worth the wait

Finally, I get my porter-chocolate beer float!  It's Founders Porter, so it's gotta be good.  The ice cream is frozen solid as usual, but it's a hot day so it should soften up quickly.  It has a very milky, frosty look as bubbles and ice cream meet in the glass.  The scent of chocolate is strong, and there's typical float foam, a mix of foamy ice cream and disappearing carbonated suds.  The pastry can't battle the bitter head at first, but sugar pops up in the end.  The beer ends up looking like chocolate milk, but with foam on top.  It has a very dark chocolatey taste, a little bit bitter/sour as it goes down, which is what you can expect from the porter.  The ice cream has chocolate chunks, tiny ones, so it's a good thing I got a spoon today.  The chocolate is more resistant than the mango was, maybe it has a heavier consistency, or maybe All Day was warmer than the porter to begin with.  Seems like a porter shouldn't be as chilled if either one isn't, but it's definitely cool now.  And smooth, and bittersweet, and wonderful.  As I expected, there are lots of chocolate bits at the bottom, but they taste like chocolate liqueurs when they get fished out.  Tasty!
