CITP - Vintage Irish Cheddar with Porter

Oh, how I love Irish cheese!  And it's fun to take cheese out of wax.  It reminds me of when I was first explaining the heaven that is Irish butter to my brother.  He'd never heard of Irish butter so his first reaction was, "What's Irish butter?  Do they put whiskey in it?"  Ha!  I wish! 

In any case this is a soft cheese that looks like a wedge but in reality is a bunch of delicious curds pressed together in some kind of Porter glue - half of the slices broke apart on me as I cut it apart.  It has a rich flavor but the beer doesn't dominate at all, for the most part just blendning into the backgrounds of the curds.
