I’m a busy guy. Who isn’t, right? So even though I can hold my own in the kitchen, whenever I get invited to a dinner get-together, I volunteer to be the one who picks up dessert on the way over.

Even though this move gets me out of cooking, I always make sure to bring something fancy and delicious. My go-to impressive dessert is brownies. But not just any brownies, chocolate blueberry brownies! The flavors really pop and it’s fun to watch friends’ eyes light up, curious to indulge in something they’ve never tried before.

That’s why I’m so excited about today’s 11.5% ABV Blueberry Obsession Imperial Stout! It’s made by the Dark Dessert Beer masters at Virginia’s Lickinghole Creek, who lay claim to 3 of the state’s Top Imperial Stouts on BA. Now they’ve worked their Stout magic to create a beer that tastes just like chocolate blueberry brownies!

The secret to this Stout’s rich flavor lies in the brewery’s use of premium ingredients. It’s made with Virginia-grown blueberries and over 40 lbs per batch of patisserie-quality Peruvian cocoa nibs.

For those of you recreating the latest recipes from The Great British Bake Off, more power to ya  — Blueberry Obsession will make a great sip-while-you-bake brew. For the rest of us that don’t have time for that crap, this beer is a get-out-of-cooking-free card that’s sure to steal the spotlight away from any dinner party entree.

*Best served between 52-55 degrees, more berry and bittersweet dark chocolate notes will appear as it warms.
