A Note on This Beer

Chocoholics like me know three things to be true:

One: The more chocolatey, the better.

Two: A few creamy sips of a chocolate-rich Imperial Stout can be even more luscious than a bar of Hershey’s.

Three: It doesn’t get much more luscious or chocolatey than Hubbard’s Cave’s Pot de Creme Imperial Stout series.

That’s why I went to the fridge and promptly cleared out an entire shelf the moment I saw the brewery dropped a fresh new release of Chocolate Pot de Creme. With huge additions of chocolate, vanilla, and lactose on a base of dark, chocolatey malts, this edition is like melted Godiva wrapped in boozy silk!

On that note, it IS boozy. The 12% ABV creates a nice warmth that rises up and wraps you in a velvety cocoa hug.

The good news is that I warded off my own chocoholic cravings long enough to set aside a stash for the Tavour community. But, grab your supply soon – the last three Pot de Cremes all vanished in less than a day!

The chocoholics on Untappd agree — they rated this Stout a 4.23!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

This was FANTASTIC. I was mad after I’d finished drinking it, realizing I’d only ordered one can.

Dessert beer 100%. This is super sweet. Pour this bad boy over ice cream and you would have the best beer float the world has ever known.

Delicious. Love the flavor of the chocolate mixing with the cream. The 12% ABV was a great accompaniment to the flavor. Would definitely recommend and will order again

Took a sip or two to truly enjoy because boy does this have flavor. Once my taste buds adjusted, this was a fantastic drink, chocolatey and smooth. Not only that but it gets the job done at 12% ABV

Thick, dark, chocolaty and boozy. This was a very satisfying stout.

I have to say I think this was astounding, the alcohol that was amplified in this beer was phenomenal. It had the sweetness of the chocolate, the boldness of the alcohol. Plus it was smooth and silky as well.

Chocolatey and rich. Maybe it's my imagination but it seemed to pour like motor oil. There's so much to like here!

The chocolate flavor is amazing!

Typically, I don’t like to have more than one imperial stout in a sitting because they are so rich and heavy. But I think I could make an exception for this. The lactose rounds off the chocolate flavor and adds a nice creaminess. Based off another review I also recommend letting it sit in your mouth for a few seconds because it really highlights the flavors. Kind of tastes like a super rich chocolate milk. One of the best imperial stouts I’ve ever had would definitely recommend!

One of my new favorite Pastry Stouts! So silky smooth and creamy. All the notes are balanced perfectly, especially when drunk at a Cold Temperature.

This was yummy! Usually malt heavy browns give me an instant headache. But not this. It was silky and smooth. I haven't tasted a brown that bests Belching Beavers PB Stout, but this was still a delightful sipper.

No. I was seriously looking forward to this one too. The Hubbards Raspberry French Toast was bomb! This one, I don’t taste the chocolate at all. Don’t smell it either. It’s got a creamy feel to it, nice dark rich color, but the taste is a little bitter, not that sweet for a dessert beer. I won’t be ordering again on this one.

I’d like to know how they got a head on that beer in the photo... otherwise amazing flavor and one of the best chocolate stouts I’ve had. You KNOW it’s a chocolate stout as you drink it. VERY THICK full body and nice scent.

I’m disappointed in this one. This was the first beer I had ordered on my account. After reading the description I was sold. The taste to me is pretty chemical tasting. There is a bitter dark chocolate/ cocoa aftertaste, but overall this one is just not for me.

Chocolate. Beautiful, smooth, chocolate. This stout goes down easy, too easy. Just brimming with coffee underneath chocolate.

I love Hubbards Cave. This one was not as good as their other stuff I’ve had but still pretty good.

WOOOOOW!! Sweet, chocolate, sticky, friggin' deliciousness!! This is an imperial pastry/dessert stout. Best when it comes up in temp, to bring out the sweet. Fantastic!!

Hershey’s chocolate syrup ... with mild boozy heat

Overall good, very syrupy almost like drinking a rich chocolate syrup.

I’m loving the desert beers. Some beer purists say beer should taste like beer. I disagree. What beer used to taste like is one of the many flavor styles of the root product. I love that there’s a beer for every season, mood, and meal. This is a solid stout with just enough chocolate to classify it as stout and not a desert beer. I would totally buy more of this.

Thick, sweet, and full of chocolate. Nice aroma. Mostly real chocolate taste, but after the whole can, felt it got a little overwhelming. Although ABV was high, didn't drink like it.

Creamy chocolate and caramel with a boozy finish.
