It’s Friday, so grab your favorite six-pack on the way home from work or enjoy a new beer. Bombers are 22 fl oz bottles of beer that often contain a brewery’s elite or unique concoction. Like a good bottle of wine, they are great for sharing and sipping 🙂 Stay tuned for periodic blasts of bomber Fridays.
The Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout by Southern Tier is the ultimate DESSERT beer! This is a beer to stand alone, in place of dessert. It smells strongly of vanilla and sweet caramel and it tastes of rich, creamy sweetness. It pours black in color with little to no head. This beer is brewed with vanilla beans which gives it its deep vanilla flavors.
This is definitely a beer for sharing! It could be paired with something light like custard, vanilla ice cream or plain cheesecake. Custard would be a decadent combination, giving it that extra creaminess!! Here is my custard recipe.
As a Colorado resident, we sadly do not have access to Southern Tier (Lakewood, NY) brews but if you are crafty, you will find a way to get your hands on their beer! 😀

I don’t know how to process this beer, it sounds incredibly good!! I hope I can find this 🙂
ha ha, I hope you can find it too! It is a very unique and fun beer!
I’d be really interested to try this – the idea of vanilla in a good stout sounds incredible. I’m definitely intrigued!
Ya there are some vanilla porters you can find but they are nothing like this- this is very much enriched with vanilla 🙂 if you like vanilla though, you’d probably be happy with a vanilla porter but it will be calmer (less rich) than this beer
I had no idea there is such a thing as dessert beer! I must get out more often! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome!! It’s not necessarily a category of beer- just some beers are so rich they are like dessert! 🙂
I think that there’s no end to the beautiful combinations of beer & food! As for a vanilla rich flavour and creamy sweetness, yes please! If only we had dessert beers here.
There you have it, a market opening for your craft!
Ha ha ya or you need to tell a crafty friend looking for a new niche- someone has to start it 🙂
Oh my gosh – this sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing – I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on some.
😀 I hope you can!!
Whoa that sounds delicious! I gotta see if I can find this beer in Vancouver.
It is awesome! I hope you can find it!
Oh my gosh. Creme brulee in a beer?!!! Wow, this sounds amazing Lilly Sue. I’ll look out for it in our local bottle shop. I can imagine pouring it over ice cream… yummmm! x
Oh my, it would be such a treat!! This really is a clever beer! I hope you can try it! 🙂
Anything “creme brulee” sounds delicious in my book! This has a lot of baking potential — thanks for introducing me to it!
You’re so welcome! I hope you can get your hands on it! 🙂
I had it once with a plane slice of cheesecake. It was wonderful, really adding creaminess and a lot of the notes in bith cake and beer.
Yum! Cheesecake would definitely be a great combo as well!! I will add it to the list 🙂
Sounds like a plan! Let me know what you think.
by saying it’s meant for sharing, do you mean it’s too strong to finish solo? Looks powerful. But what fun to cook and bake with! Maybe the acid would break the custard, but maybe could add flavor to creme brulee? ??
It is just really rich. I am not kidding when I say it tastes like dessert!!! lol If you can handle 22 oz of rich dessert then maybe you can drink it solo 🙂 This beer is so incredible (and probably decently expensive) so I am not sure I would bake with it but it definitely would be delicious. If I did something with it I would want to make sure it was the only flavor added so that it was really coming through. I think it could definitely be reduced and added in place of the vanilla extract- yum!! Beer-y Creme Brulee! 🙂
On another note, if I “had” to drink alone, I guess I could drink half and bake with half and then I would not feel guilty 🙂
Oh wow love the way this sounds and I am sure I can get that beer here in NYC!! Happy Valentines Day!
Lucky!! 🙂 Let me know when you try it! I think you will be rather impressed.
