So he likes chocolate in his beer... now that's strange. At least I'll eat PEAnuts with beer, I have never eaten chocolate with beer.

If there's chocolate in it, it's news to me. Plus I like Weiss b33rz.

I stole this from some site I forgot to reference:

Ingredients used for brewing porters include pale ale as the base malt; crystal (the most highly-roasted versions), chocolate, brown, and black malts; and roasted barley. Flaked corn (less than 10%), flaked barley, and some invert sugar (10–20%) are often used. London porters often include black treacle (blackstrap molasses). Crystal malt can make up 10% of the total grist bill and is responsible for much of the mouthfeel. Chocolate malts are more popular in Britain, while American brewers prefer black malts.

Pale malt is the main ingredient of bocks, followed by Munich, Vienna, and roasted malt. Small amounts of crystal, dextrin, chocolate, and/or black malt are added for flavor or color. Hallertauer, Perle, Hersbrucker, and Tettnanger are the hops of choice.

I like 'em all... Beer is good. Yet when you drink cheap beer you sometimes need to put something in it to cover up the stink. Salt (peanuts) and vinegar (olives) sometimes works.

I'm still trying to figure out why people put nuts in their beer.... is this common?!
