The Art of Darkness

Feb 13, 2009 08:20

The Big Time had a little festival of beer and chocolate yesterday evening. Scott and I donned our beer aficionado hats for the event. There were eight dark beers and four Theo chocolates on offer. The owner of Theo Chocolate was on offer too. Well, I guess he was just there shaking hands with everyone. He asked us how we liked the chocolate. I ( Read more... )

My favorite Theo is the Bread and Chocolate, with the Vanilla second. Yeah!

What flavor is the Bread and Chocolate? Bread-flavor?

It's dark chocolate, with tiny bits of buttered, salty bread. So it's crunchy and a little salty.

Ooh, that does sound good.

I like the sound of Holy Mole, though the only chilli flavoured beer I've had was, as expected, appalling. It'd be interesting to taste it done "properly".
I made Claire bounce last night when I told her, over a pint of Dark Star Espresso Stout, that I'd picked up a bottle of BrewDog's Coffee Imperial Stout on Saturday. I rather think she wants some.

Yeah, the chile flavor in the Holy Mole was very subtle, and blended well with the cocoa and cinnamon.

I'm not sure where I'm at on coffee-flavored beer. Wasn't real wild about either one at the festival. I love coffee on its own, so I dunno.

I finally tried the Southern Tier Choklat, which is a chocolate-flavored imperial stout. It had been promoted to me as tasting like a German chocolate cake, and that's not far off. Probably too rich every day use, but quite nice. Maybe we'll spring some of that on Claire at Corflu.

Oddly, whilst I like a few coffee flavoured beers I'm not a fan of coffee. Though I have been thinking I should give it another try recently.

What I want to know is why we don't have chai-flavored beer yet. Or green tea beer, yeah, that's the ticket.

Nope not even that in any great amount it tasted generic blond beer

randy_byers February 19 2009, 16:48:13 UTC

Ah well, then I guess I'll just skip it after all!
