And it's the hops, malt and yeast that you'll taste, not the alcohol which will be long gone after the deep fry.

On the flip side, I agree with Bitt that I dislike many things made with coffee, like tiramisu, where I find the coffee flavor overpowers everything else.


You might not like it with any hint of coffee, but overpowering sounds like a bad tiramisu. The perfect example has to be very well balanced, and unfortunately, more often than not, you'll get a sub-standard example when ordering out. At least that's my experience. I've had some pretty bad ones, but also quite a few really great ones. Tiramisu also takes alcohol - and it most definitely stays in. wink
