It’s widely known by sweet-tooths that imported, European candy treats put any plain ol’ Hershey bar to shame.

Just think about biting into the ooey-gooey middle of an English Cadbury Creme Egg; the melt-in-your-mouth flaky biscuit of a German Ritter Sport Bar; or, my personal favorite, the nutty-crunch of Ferrero Rocher’s Fine Italian Hazelnut Chocolates.

The flavor masters at WeldWerks must have taken a page from Europe’s finest confectioneries, because they made a Stout that drinks like a liquefied bar of elegant, specialty chocolate: today’s decadent Starry Night Milk Stout.

Breaking through Colorado’s competitive craft scene with multiple GABF and World Beer Cup awards, the crew at WeldWerks is beloved by locals for their pulpy Juicy Bits IPA. But today’s scrumptious dessert sipper shows that these Rocky Mountain beer pioneers have a sweet side, too!

Brewed with hazelnut, toasted coconut, and milk chocolate, every mouthful of Starry Night tastes just like a melted Ferrero Rocher! And for those of you less versed in European candy bars, it’s like a thick scoop of Nutella, masterfully wrapped into a silky-smooth Stout body.

Luscious aromas of freshly-roasted hazelnuts overwhelm the senses from the pitch-black pour. Rich flavors of chocolate ganache wash over the palate in a wave of silky decadence while tropical coconut builds on the sweet, nutty notes in every sip. The addition of creamy lactose gives this dark delight a thick mouthfeel that hides the 7.5% ABV.

Bring cans of Starry Night to your next dinner party, and watch as all your friends fight over it, like candy-hungry kids. Just be smart enough to save a few to indulge in yourself!
