Decadent Dessert Beers

The Salted Belgian Chocolate Stout is Perfect for Fall and Winter

The Salted Belgian Chocolate Stout boasts the perfect blend of robustness and sweetness that will carry just about anyone through the winter months into spring and summer. Although not everyone is a fan of beer, introducing a dessert spin could very well convert a few into appreciating this special alcoholic beverage. After all, many people can appreciate a good salted chocolate bar.

Brewed by New Belgium and Perennial Artisan Ales, the Salted Belgian Chocolate Stout is a collaborative effort that is made with belgian yeast, roasted malts and a shake of salt to add a bit of unexpected kick. Uncrate writes, "The 9% ABV, pitch black, sweet chocolate treat arrives this month from two respected breweries." People will be able to enjoy the drink as the colder weather descends.
