Gangaroo's,
A match made in heaven. My bestie came to visit this afternoon and we decided to have one of the Fat Molly's before they had properly rested; only in the humi a week since delivery. Never being boys passing up the opportunity to enjoy good spirits we also opened and killed half a bottle of Jamison's (stout) caskmates. If you haven't yet tried the Jamison's DO IT, DO IT NOW. Sooofffttt as a baby's butt.
We both really enjoyed the KFC's. Exceptionally so. I expected much more in the way of over the top BBQ-ish flavors, instead I found it to be rather understated, not garish at all. I fully understand those who opine that you'll either love it or hate it. I loved it, but it will be an infrequent treat. We agreed to try one again in 3 months when we could be on the deck with sunshine instead of in my office. We plan to put a brisket in the smoker that day to celebrate.
I found it to be a bit sweet - in a savory sweet sort of way, the "smokiness" wasn't nearly as pronounced as I expected, staying well in the background and allowing some earthiness to come to the fore. Did not get too spicy, or overly complex.
Razor sharp burn line, no touch-ups for either of us. Solid ash. Did not get bitter at the end, and being a 50+ RG it stayed cool until I got tho the very end.
All in all, very enjoyable and satisfying.
Oh, did I mention a half bottle of Jamison's? That helped too. Been a rough week!
