“Invention, my dear friends, is 93 percent perspiration, 6 percent electricity, 4 percent evaporation, and 2 percent butterscotch ripple.” Those are the words of Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Brewing beer could be much the same, mainly when creative beer makers use all kinds of sweet treats in their recipes, from candy and cinnamon rolls to cereal and cookies. While the notion of a sweet beer may be sickening to those who prefer their hops, malt, yeast, and water to be unadorned by ingredients more commonly seen in the sticky hands of children on Halloween, there are many more beer lovers whose sweet teeth just can’t be satiated. For them, we present Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: Sweet Tooth — a continuation of our February Stout Month.

Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: Sweet Tooth

Great Divide S’mores Yeti

9.5% ABV

Reach for Great Divide’s S’mores Yeti and find yourself transported to a cozy campfire without leaving the comfort of Peaks and Pints. Enjoying this decadent imperial stout beside our fireplace is encouraged. This s’mores version of the Denver brewery’s award-winning creamy Yeti Imperial Stout hits the nose with roasted malt, chocolate, marshmallow, and some vanilla, followed by roasted malt, graham cracker, cocoa, and marshmallow with a long chocolate finish.

Trap Door TrapRoom Vol. 2

11.5% ABV

Trap Door Brewing teamed up with TapRoom Beer Co. again to bring you this decadent stout. Released at the Fort George Brewery 2025 Festival of Dark Arts last weekend, It’s a blended stout with 80 percent fresh pastry stout and 20 percent 16-month barrel-aged stout. After picking a worthy barrel to blend in, they decided to adjunct this with a Compost Cookie theme in mind. In this imperial stout, you’ll find coconut, cacao nibs, Peruvian coffee from Puff Coffee, Graham Crackers, butterscotch chips, potato chips, and pretzels. We get notes from the whiskey barrel, caramel, chocolate, spices, and a thick, sweet mouthfeel.

Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break

11.5% ABV

Once you’ve started the day with a few biscotti dunkers, you’ll probably not get much work done. You might as well start drinking, huh? Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø contract brewed at Westbrook Brewing in South Carolina before moving his Evil Twin brewery to New York City. At Westbrook, he brewed his Imperial Biscotti Break, a gourmet imperial stout brimming with vanilla, coffee, almond, and chocolate notes. This beer starts with a strong scent of dark chocolate and dark fruit. The fruit isn’t present in the taste, but there is plenty of dark cocoa and roasted bitter coffee, all with a rich coating of nuttiness. When using flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and almond, it can be very easy to have a beer that is too cloying or tastes artificial, but that is not the case with this beer.

Timber Chasing Darkness V4

12% ABV

Timber Ales’ Chasing Darkness ever-evolving imperial stout series Batch 4 (Blue Label) is conditioned on coffee and a blend of Papua New Guinea and Ugandan vanilla beans. The end product gives off notes of baker’s chocolate, heavy pecans, and faint marshmallow.

Hubbard’s Cave Barrel Aged Me Love To Eat Cream Filled Cookies 2023

13% ABV

This bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with chocolate, cream-filled chocolate cookies, vanilla beans, and lactose was crafted by Hubbard’s Cave, which moved north from Chicago to Niles, Illinois, in 2019. Chocolate, roasted malt, lactose, vanilla beans, cream-filled chocolate cookies, oak, bourbon, raisins, and plums merge into a savory craft beer. The cream-filled chocolate cookies and butterscotch-infused bourbon complement the combination of chocolate, roasted malt, char, lactose, and vanilla beans.
