Crème Brûlée
Rich vanilla custard and sweet caramel carry this 10% stout, with black malt and milk sugar underneath. Crème Brûlée belongs to the Blackwater Series, the imperial stout line Southern Tier launched in 2004, a brewery that counts itself among the pioneers of the dessert stout, whose Blackwater Series opened the door for pastry stouts.
