It was oddly light and had notes of caramel with a clean finish. Their stout was waaay bitter and devoid of the coffee notes you'd normally expect from a stout, but would pair well with a dessert, I think. \n\nAnyway, as far as the food goes, I was floored. They have this menu item called Irish Nachos. It's thick, crispy potato slices with bacon, ranch, and herbs on top (and probably other stuff but I'm drawing a blank). Srsly, it's phenomenal. I also had their \"locavore\" burger option, the Home Grown Burger. Local, grass-fed beef with white cheddar, apple slices, arugula, and an apple cider reduction sauce with a side of black pepper aoli. Oh yeah--I asked for it done medium, and it was cooked perfectly. I'm pretty sure the clouds parted and I heard singing when I took my first bite. Then I ate until I wanted to die...and I would have died happy.\n\nAlso, I had this near-cathartic food experience while warming up by their fireplace and watching some bizarre, dated, bawdy Britcom/musical on the television. All in all, an excellent experience."^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . "5"^^ . . . "4"^^ .
