Izzy's - Irish Moxie

Irish Moxie - Coffee Ice Cream made with Jamison Irish Whiskey with a mix of Oreo cookies and Heath Bar Pieces

I decided to stick with Izzy's for the duration of my holiday trip to Minnesota.  The next flavor is called Irish Moxie which is a flavor which mixes coffee and irish whiskey -- an ice cream version of an Irish Coffee.  Oreos and Heath Bars are added to this base as mix-ins.  It looks like an interesting combination.  I am 25% Irish, but do I have the moxie to enjoy this flavor?  (groan)

Removing the lid shows the beige color of the coffee/whiskey base.  The color matches those of previous coffee bases.  Plenty of chocolate-colored mix-ins are visible right away on top.  Digging into the pint, the coffee flavor is visible right away but it is a sweeter flavor than previous flavors.  That seems to be the effect of the Jamison Irish Whiskey.  Other whiskey flavors tended provide a kick with a slight burn in the back of the throat but in this pint it makes the coffee taste sweeter.  The Oreo and Heath Bar pieces are dispersed generously throughout the pint and provide the expected amount of chocolate flavor and crunch.  As mentioned in previous reviews, chocolate complements coffee very well.

I really enjoyed this pint.  If you're a fan of Irish Coffee or if you're interested in a coffee flavor which is also sweet then you should give this flavor a try.
