Keep The Buzz Going
Dessert Beers
We all have our vices - those things that we can't resist. Restauranteurs have learned to turn a buck by tempting our tastebuds (and getting us buzzed). The Chocolate Room in Brooklyn serves the Chocolate Stout Float that features Brooklyn Brewery's stout and their own vanilla ice cream ($8USD). The Markt restaurant serves the Tartelette au citron â€" Citroentaartje which is a lemon tart with almond flour crust, served with kriek beer sorbet ($8USD). Gotham Bar and Grill has served cheesecake with Guinness ice cream (yum). I like the concept.
