Coffee-rubbed Porterhouse Steak

Coffee-rubbed Porterhouse Steak

Coffee rubbed porterhouse smoked over hardwood, roasted sweet potatoes with maple syrup and autumn spices, and green beans with almonds served with an Evil Genius’ Trick or Treat chocolate pumpkin porter. The roasted flavors from the coffee rub paired well with the chocolate in the beer and the sweet potatoes played off the pumpkin flavor for a great seasonal pairing.

Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower Soup

Creamy cauliflower soup made from locally grown cauliflower garnished with florets, browned butter, and homegrown chives. Served with a 2005 vintage bottle of J.W. Lees’ Harvest Ale aged in Lagavulin whisky casks. The slight nuttiness of the cauliflower was complimented by the malty sweetness of the beer and the hint of whiskey which made for a good seasonal autumn meal.
