A Note on This Beer

Every time I’m invited to a BBQ, I get the same question from the host:

“You’re bringing dessert, right?” 

They usually follow this assumption with a sly wink and a nod towards my beer fridge. 

Hey, how can I blame them? Ever since I started bringing Hubbard’s Cave’s decadent Imperial Stouts to parties, guests forget all about the other treats on the table — like my friend Sarah’s famous fudge brownies. When it comes to rich chocolate flavors, Hubbard’s Cave takes the cake!

And this weekend, I know I’m REALLY gonna wow the crowd with this limited edition Tavour exclusive: Barrel Aged Chocolate & Blueberry Pot de Creme!

Hubbard’s Cave crafted this boozy beauty with tons of yummy chocolate, juicy blueberries, Madagascar vanilla beans, and creamy lactose. They aged it twice in two sets of Bourbon Barrels; once for 12 months and a second time for 16 months.

It opens with the intoxicating aroma of fresh preserves, and tastes like someone took a bowl full of blueberries and drenched them in chocolate fudge! As it warms, whispers of caramelly bourbon rise to the surface — a belly-warming reminder of its 13% ABV.

This sumptuous brew is nearly sold out at the taproom, so the only place to find it is right here. Why not bring a few bottles to your next summertime celebration? Just be sure to give the bakers in the group a heads-up: this time, dessert’s on you.

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Hubbard's Cave is certified independent by the Brewers Association

Stunning scent, and even better taste. This is deep, rich, and full of blueberry and chocolate.

Blueberry dominates, so maybe it should be called blueberry and chocolate pot de creme.

Did everything it said it would. Impressive amount of blueberry came through on the nose and followed through on the palate. Supported by ample chocolate - worked well for breakfast

blueberry doesn’t come across as sweet as it could have been.

They nailed the blueberry and the barrel with this one. Other blueberry stouts pale in comparison (Founders Lizard of Koz….anyone remember that one (?) - the blueberry was really overpowering)). The more I drank it, the less I enjoyed it; that is, most definitely, not true of this delicious stout.

Nice chocolate and bourbon aging. Blueberries are a little out of place.

Comes through with a pretty good flavor of blueberries (The good kind). Barrel is there, but not strong.

Normally I don't like a stout to be so sweet but there was plenty of barrel presence to balance it out and no medicinal taste that pastry stouts sometimes have. Very nice.

Sooo much dehydrated blueberry in syrup in your full body BA Stout. Always fun to cuvee with other stouts for interesting combinations.
