What we ate:
Cheese & lager fondue:
could have been hotter & gooey-er, but bread was firm and fresh & sauce was pleasant - tasting of its emmental & lager components
Mussels (brussels) - with spicy sausage, Delirium beer, red chili pepper, tomato, fennel, garlic & parsley:
mussels were very tender but should have been cooked a tad longer - they had not absorbed the sauce flavours and the alcohol had not been cooked off - it was like taking a sip of beer when eating sauce dipped bread
steakfrites:
one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. completely leaned, perfectly cooked medium rare, the meat melted to the bite like sashimi (note to self: try beef sashimi next time), dressed with very nice mushroom reduction with - salty, richly sopped up its gravy and fried onions that were nice and crisp, a whisper of cumin cologne; fries a bit soggy from being lain on top but good flavour and texture - as fresh cut fries should be, tasting golden with a starchy interior
skor bar beer ice cream:
melted very quickly, but delectably light caramel flavour and colour, skor bits a crunchy buttery sweet richness (fresh unlike the skor ice cream at the grocery store with stale chocolate and odd "un" toffee taste)
flourless chocolate cake:
thick, dense and creamy - almost like eating ganache, too rich for one, nice to have a couple of bites between three
suggested pairing of "black forest cocktail": oatmeal stout and chambord
sticky sweet & thick, raspberry flavour like demerra sugar sprinkled on a cookie (not sure if general rule of booze having to be sweeter than dessert should apply to non-wine alchoholic bevs)
final thought? Beerbistro, Bier markt - what's the diff?
