We’ve all probably kicked off a nice meal with a drink or two. While beer can certainly be a great way to start your evening, it can be a wonderful choice when it comes to ending your night as well.
Quite a few breweries have started to make (or have made for a while) tasty beers that resemble our favorite sweets. Whether your sweet tooth gravitates toward chocolate or fruit, there’s a dessert beer out there with your name on it. Here are a few of our faves.

DuClaw's Sweet Baby Jesus tastes so much like a chocolate peanut butter cup you'd be forgiven for thinking you were chowing down on some Reeces.

Ballast Point's Pineapple Sculpin is guaranteed to bring back fond memories of grandma's pineapple upside down cake.

With hints of chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow, Highwater Brewing's Campfire Stout is closest thing you'll find to a smore in a bottle.

Dogfish Head's Fort offers a raspberry flavor that you'll keep coming back for, that is if you can score more than one bottle of this hard-to-find brew

With a name like Voodoo Doughnut, how you could possible go wrong? This beer was inspired by Oregon's Voodoo doughnuts (as the name suggests), specifically the bakery's Voodoo Mango Tango doughnut

We love pretty much everything in Almanac's farm-to bottle series. The Blueberry Reserve is made using hand-picked blueberries grown in the hills of Butte County, California, that are then added to a sour golden ale aged in wine barrels. The result? Delicious.

If you're looking for a beer with a dessert feel without a super sweet flavor, then 21st Amendment's Toaster Pastry might be just what you're after. The red ale has a bit of the fruity flavor you might expect from your favorite Pop Tart, with some hoppy goodness that balance it out, and makes the brew something you'll probably want to enjoy a few of.

An oldie but a goodie, Young's Double Chocolate Stout is a smooth chocolaty stout that manages to not be too overpowering
