A Note on This Beer

Call me crazy, but a bowl of ice cream isn’t complete until you douse it in Dark Beer excellence.

And, it’s been a heck of a long time since I found a Stout more worthy of such sinful decadence than Hold the Spoon: Black Chocolate Cake.

The fabled pastry-makers at The Bruery craft this Imperial Stout to taste like ice cream blasted with chocolate cake, bittersweet fudge, and chocolate chunks. This means you can expect Black Chocolate Cake to deliver on every one of your cocoa-centric cravings.

To replicate those massive, lick-the-spoon-clean chocolate cake flavors, the brewers used a complex, yet highly choco-expressive malt bill and several types of cacao nibs. Then, to give it that rich, ice cream smoothness, they added some creamy vanilla, a dose of silky lactose, and a dash of salt to cut the sweetness.

So, if you want to know what sweet-tooth heaven tastes like, grab yourself a stash! 

Then, pour some Black Chocolate Cake over a scoop of your favorite ice cream and experience what I lovingly call the “Dessert of Craft Beer Champions.”

This was our overall fave from our initial Tavour order. Whatever The Bruery is making; I’m trying. Literally, all of the flavors of which they speak are in there.

Can I give this 10 stars!? I mean this is fantastic. The finish is loaded with cacao nibs flavor. The salt balances it nicely. I thought the name and label were a little corny when this showed up in my subscription, but wow! This is really great. Very pleased! Well done The Bruery!

If you like chocolate stouts, you can't miss this one. Like a smooth dark (very dark) cocoa.

Daily Corona battle. We decidedly did not BTHO Bama edition. See Bruery, buy Bruery. And this is amazing. Rich, decadent chocolate cake. And not just sweet chocolate, but actual pastry cakeness.

Well then. Liquid Black Forest chocolate cake with a really nice, natural bitter Baker’s chocolate and vanilla — just a hint of salt. Rich and thick without being cloying and syrupy.

Tastes like a chocolate shake. I’m generally wary of chocolate stouts as they can get syrupy, but this was pure coco goodness.

What a wonderful stout. All the flavors swirled together in a perfect balance. And all without that "too sweet" syrupy taste that can ruin a beer.
