Comment on "butter" beer

I tried making butter beer, which is real thing that was sometimes made, but it probably isn’t what you think.
It is more of hot wine style drink. I think someone made yt video that I used as instructions. Yes it is less alcoholic because you heat the beer (which is the base of the drink) and mix in sugar, butter and some other stuff I don’t remember.
I think that it was quite good and could be made in 20min, really good for the colder evenings. I would suggest some neutral tasting beer as a base, I used some store bought lager if I remember correctly - most of the taste is from the other stuff there.

If I recall, they heated the beer with a hot iron poker, which also caramelized a bunch of the natural and added sugars in the drink.

Thanks, much better than trying to piece it together from video!
I wanted to make it again but didn’t got to it, I think I wanted to cut the sugar a bit it was too sweet for me. Also I wanted to try some different beers to see how it impacts the taste.
