    Stout-Flavored Coffee And Other Beer-Flavored Products You MUST Try

    Everyone is buzzing with the news that Starbucks might be putting out stout-flavored coffee.

    The beer-flavored beverage is reportedly being tested out in Ohio and Florida.

    Referred to as the Dark Barrel Latte, the product is supposed to be named for the increasing popularity of craft beer and said to blend stout and chocolate flavors.

    Sure coffee and beer are a fun combo, but this is hardly the first time that someone has used beer flavors in an unexpected way.

    If you love hops and trying new things, then there are some other beer-flavored goodies you may want to get your hands on.

    Take a look at some other really cool beer-flavored products.

    Beer-Flavored Desserts

    Coffee isn’t the only sweet food item that others have wanted to mix with real craft beer.

    Meet BeerCandy, a company that specializes in delectable treats made with craft beer. Their products include caramels, taffies, and “hop drops”.

    We also have beer-flavored ice creams and even stout-flavored chocolate cakes. PubCakes offers cake mixes made with your favorite beer flavors.

    Beer-Infused Pizza Dough

    Just as the introduction of coffee-flavored donuts was a big “duh” moment, fans of beer and pizza no doubt think that it only makes sense to bring the two things together.

    When Sam Adams got pizza maker Mark Bello to sub their Boston Lager for water, the result was a rather tasty, if not malty, pizza crust. See the story here and feel free to try the pizza dough recipe for yourself!

    Beer-Flavored…Dog Treats?

    Yep, you read that correctly.

    This can probably be chalked up to persons not wanting their pets to ever feel left out of human activities like social drinking.

    Before you think someone has canines bumbling around the house in a drunken haze, the product is ONLY beer-flavored. The product is non-alcoholic, so there are no intoxicated pets to worry about.

    It’s just a way for dog lovers to enjoy a “cold one” with the family dog.

    Bottoms up, Fido!

  • Stout-Flavored Coffee: The New Pumpkin Spice Latte?

    Stout-Flavored Coffee: The New Pumpkin Spice Latte?

    Stout-flavored coffee could be coming to a Starbucks near you. The coffee giant is testing a new beer-flavored coffee in Ohio and Florida.

    If you like beer and you love coffee, this could be the greatest thing ever, or it could be more along the lines of a two-great-tastes-that-don’t-taste-great-together situation.

    Starbucks developed its stout-flavored coffee, called the Dark Barrel Latte, in response to the rise in popularity of craft beer.

    According to a Starbucks spokesperson, the latte is topped with whipped cream and dark caramel, and incorporates a “chocolaty stout-flavored sauce”.

    Beer flavored like coffee has been around for quite a while, but stout-flavored coffee is a new thing entirely.

    To me, it sounds absolutely horrid, but to many it’s actually quite delightful.

    One commentator on Reddit isn’t impressed with the new idea, but probably has it figured out.

    “Part of the problem is they are not catering to people who actually like coffee, they are catering to people who like sugary drinks flavored with Coffee. I tend to stay away from them because I like other local roasters better than theirs, but when I’m traveling they have a pretty consistently decent cup of medium roast black coffee. This drink to me feels like the same type of things Lay’s is doing with their cappuccino flavored chips, of course no one will like it, but they sure will talk about it!”

    The new stout-flavored coffee test has been aligned with Starbucks’ annual roll-out of their fall flavors like the ever-popular Pumpkin Spice latte.

    Could this be THE new fall flavor? I guess most of us will have to wait until the flavor comes to our neck of the woods to know if it is worthy or not. If and when that will be is a very good question.

    “We’re looking forward to learning more from the test, but do not have additional information to share on future availability of this product in our stores,” says a Starbucks spokesperson.

    What do you think? Does the new stout-flavored coffee sound awesome or disastrous?
