We all love a good beer for dessert, how about a beer thats made to be dessert? Check out the Southern Tier Crème Brûlée.
Don't worry, I'll plan your evening for you. Schedule a date with your significant other, Head over to the store and grab a couple of bombers of the Crème Brûlée because it doesn't come out that often. On your way home, head to the grocery store to pick up some vanilla ice cream.
Now for the good part:
Dinner can be whatever you want. Exactly. It doesn't matter because dessert will make up for whatever you do.
For dessert, divide 12oz of the Crème Brûlée between two Belgian-style glasses. Brandy snifters might work as well. Then make two bowls of vanilla ice cream and pour another 3oz of the beer on top of the ice cream. Serve by candlelight and enjoy!
WHOA! I did what? Yes, I did it. Now, this wont work with just any beer. Don't plan a date and pour Sierra Nevada Pale onto some ice cream. It won't work.
Heres why this one does:
The Southern Tier Crème Brûlée is an Imperial Milk Stout that tastes like Crème Brûlée. Yup, they nailed it. Upon opening the bottle, you're immediately hit with a French bakery and coffee shop. Sweet vanilla, caramelized sugar, mocha, and coffee will immediately fill up the whole room. The taste is perfectly matched to the sweet heaven that just hit your nose. It doesn't show the ABV or flaunt the fact that it is an imperial stout. The beer end is there, but it is put into perfect proportion with the Crème Brûlée to make a fantastic dessert beer. And yes, it pairs perfectly with ice cream.
So, Southern Tier nails it again. Enjoy the beer and your date!
-Beer. Nuff said.
