Oh, I don't worry too much about most of the "cutting machinery" with one serious exception - radial arm saw. I take it 110% seriously every time I even think about using it! I think back on some of the stuff I have done with it, and wonder, "What was I thinking...".

I had to try this just so I could say in all honesty that I'm drinking Sweet Baby Jesus,

Chocolate peanut butter porter. It's not bad, but it's trying to do way too much in one bottle.....

[J. S. Bach]

Just the thought of chocolate tasting beer makes me want to .

The first one I tried I had the same apprehension; as it turns out, coffee and chocolate stouts and porters are rather good.

In fact, The Yardhouse serves a double chocolate stout ice cream float. I confess not having braved it as yet.

This one is absolutely fantastic!!!! Wife thought it was amazing and so we got 3 more bottles right away.

[J. S. Bach]

This was ok but I will probably not buy it again; the brewery also offers Commodore Perry and at least two others that I do not remember.

It's the peanut butter part that would have me keep it at arm's length. The "butter" part sounds greasy, and to me beer is supposed to cut grease, like in a pizza, not add grease or buttah to the slide.
Murph, a beer amateur.

Burning river ale is named for a famous incident back in the 60s where the Cuyahoga River caught fire in downtown Cleveland. They also make a Christmas Ale that is very popular and somewhat debilitating when consumed in quantity due to it's 8% alchohol content.

Hmmm......I'm guessing you've never had a Reese's candy? Or, maybe some Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream???

Reese's cups, yes, but sparingly (even though we have a refrigerator drawer full of them [left-over from Halloween].) I like Twix bettah - less greasy.

I love TurkeyHill ice cream and prefer any good ice cream w/ pralines and/or butterscotch; with caramel, or with black cherries; yes, even simple vanilla bean-fleck, but not the peanut butter concoction (had it once,) though I respect its right to corrupt and destroy.

P.S. Don't tell Frank53 I still eat ice cream - I'll get another scolding for sure.

.......pralines (whatever they are).......

Oh, my......you have not experienced pralines????

"French settlers brought this recipe to Louisiana, where both sugar cane and pecan trees were plentiful. During the 19th century, New Orleans chefs substituted pecans for almonds, added cream to thicken the confection, and thus created what became known throughout the American South as the praline. Pralines have a creamy consistency, similar to fudge. It is usually made by combining sugar (often brown), butter, and cream or buttermilk in a pot on medium-high heat, and stirring constantly, until most of the water has evaporated and it has reached a thick texture with a brown color. Then it is usually dropped by spoonfuls onto wax paper or a sheet of aluminum foil greased with butter, and left to cool."

I've had good ones and some excellent ones in Savannah, but it's hard to compete with ones from New Orleans,

I really like pralines but have a nut problem.
No,not because I may be one but because of a medical problem.
If I call early to one of the Savannah places they will make some
without the nuts for me.I don't know the name for that as a candy.

I worded it incorrectly (ironic?) and went back and adjusted the statement.

I don't know either, but I'm ready to have a few of them! Some good ones down by the river in Savannah!!! Although I recall that I overdid it with the cashew butter filled dark chocolates last time I was there,
