This triple threat dessert offers three distinct textures and flavors: A nutty, crumbly crust is filled with a dark chocolate pudding enriched with bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and chocolate stout, then topped with a billowy bourbon whipped cream.

•If you can't find unsalted roasted almonds, buy whole raw almonds (with skins). Roast them in a rimmed sheet pan in a preheated 350°F oven until golden and fragrantly toasty (cut open an almond to see if the insides are golden), 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
•Tart (without cream topping) can be made 1 day ahead and kept chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
•Whipped cream topping can be added 3 hours ahead and kept chilled, uncovered.
•To make chocolate shavings, have a bar of bittersweet chocolate at room temperature. Holding the chocolate with a paper towel, pass a vegetable peeler over the edge or side of the bar. The chocolate will curl up like wood shavings.
