In my home town, there’s a rural hipster cafe where they serve a delightful little concoction called the $5 Shake.
It goes something like this:
$5Shake
- 16 ounces imperial stout, like Otter Creek Imerial Russian Stout
- 1.5 ounces espresso
- 1/2 ounce pure Vermont maple syrup
Combine all ingredients in an imperial pint glass, stirring gently.

Where’s my ice cream?
Grade B I hope…
Hell yes!
