Beer of the Week

The beer: Cookie Puss Birthday Beer

Brewed by: Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, Elmsford, New York

Description (from the website): "Inspired by Carvel fresh vanilla ice cream and the iconic Cookie Puss cake, this milkshake IPA is brewed with Carvel vanilla and milk sugar. It has a rich and smooth, creamy vanilla flavor that will make craft beer and ice cream fans rejoice!"

Would I buy it again?: For a beer that's got so many things going on, the taste was surprisingly mellow. I don't know if it really tastes like vanilla ice cream or cake, but it didn't taste too bad. Honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed, considering all the flavors that got thrown at it. I wouldn't buy it again, but it wasn't the worst thing I've ever drank.
