Russian's who knew

Tonight I started drinking W'11 KGB a Russian Imperial Stout from Widmer brothers. I a not usually a Stout drinker, they usually don't quite fit my taste buds especially the most popular stouts. I will say that this stout I will be a return buyer because it is creamy, has a nice bite like a pale ale would and is very bold like you'd expect from a stout. A stouts origin comes from porters an rich coffee tasting beer but a stout would be the richest darker flavored porter that has a long intertwined history. The thing I would believe that makes this so rich and tasty would be that it is an Imperial brewing process. Most beers are roughly 4-6 weeks to process while Imperials are 4-6months but to find out the difference between a standard stout and an imperial stout which originates in Russia is that the imperial is brewed to have a higher alcohol content usually 9% or more to keep from freezing as easy in the colder regions of Russia. All in all this is a great beer and worth trying.

Chili seasoning (rub)

This is one of my favorite rubs it can have a tendency to be a little spicy but can be tempered with how many of the spicy peppers you put in to make your rub. This chili rub is made from dried peppers and gives off better flavors than most of the crap on the shelves in the stores even though there is a few that are good but usually cost more. This rub will give that higher quality flavor and yield at least twice the amount that you can buy in the store for the same price or cheaper.
