If you’re brave enough to venture out into the darkness, visit a local self-pour tap wall and pour yourself some sweet treats. Here are a few guilty pleasures that will comfort you on these eerie fall nights:

Hershey’s Chocolate Porter – Yuengling (Pottsville, PA)

This is a chocolate lovers delight. A perfect balance of smooth and rich textures with a sweet finish that is not overpowering.

Sweet Baby Jesus! – DuClaw Brewing Company (Baltimore, MD)

A chocolate peanut butter porter. It’s like spreading peanut butter on a slice of bread, folding it in half, and dunking it in a cold glass of chocolate milk!

MPourium – Greenville, NC
Pour Taproom – Knoxville, TN
Stay Social Tap and Table – Evans, GA
The Vault Taproom -Pittsburgh, PA

Grand Cacao – Tröegs Independent Brewing (Hershey, PA)

This chocolate stout has complex flavors of roasted malts and a vanilla forward flavor with a sweet milk sugar finish. Well balanced between sweet and bitter with the cacao complementing the vanilla and milk sugar perfectly.
