Aroma: Freshly brewed mocha cappuccino from your favorite local roaster. Flavor: Loaded with dark chocolate ice cream and chocolate frosted coffee-cake.  Perfectly balanced, the à la mode pastry sweetness is cut with robust roastiness from hints of espresso. Mouthfeel: Thick like if pudding was drinkable. Ingredients: Chocolate malts, Abacus coffee & real maple syrup.

There are some crave-worthy beers we just can't get enough of — like today's 4.27 Tavour-rated Coffee & Cakes Imperial Pastry Stout from Hubbard’s Cave. We love this decadent dessert indulgence so much, we got a tad bit greedy... 

And we jumped at the chance to snatch up over 50% of their newest nano-batch! It's only been two months since we (ahem, the Tavour community) devoured the last batch, which vanished in record time! So we’re bringing it back for the hundreds of you left empty-handed, and the many unfortunate souls who didn’t even catch a glimpse of it last time. 

If you were one of the hapless folks from before — get those thumbs ready. Here's your chance to get a taste of why Toppling Goliath, Three Floyds, and Goose Island don’t hold an Untappd-brewery rating as high as Chicago’s Hubbard’s Cave!

Your buddies probably don’t know this brewery, and have no idea there’s an underground star in Illinois that’s outshining many of their favorites. Today you get to be the one to introduce them!

The brewery is lesser known because their beers are mega-limited and only grace a handful of Midwest states, but it takes just one taste to get hooked on their dark, delicious brews. Soon you'll be feverishly coming up with reasons to spend the weekend in Chicago just to get your hands on more.

Hubbard’s chart-topping craftsmanship is on full display in today’s 12% ABV thick-as-a-milkshake Dark Beer. 

The next time your friends are bragging about how awesome their favorite brewery is, point out the ratings for Hubbard’s Cave. And the next time they bring their favorite Pastry Stout to share, pridefully pull out the real dark star of the night: Coffee & Cakes.

The last batch is rated a 4.27 on Tavour; 4.34 on Untappd
