but I once had a chocolate stout with a splash of cream soda

I like both items individually, I'd have to give it a try sometime.

Have you tried the "hard root beer" they sell nowadays? It's actually an old-fashioned recipe (if you made soda pop and let it continue to ferment it would become a beer or wine), and it sounded like a great idea because again, I like both individually, but I didn't care for it as a beverage. Too sweet to be a beer and too alcoholic to be a soda.
