Chocolate is the classic gift on Valentines day, so what could be better than a chocolate beer for the beer lover in your life? If you head over to the Valentine blog post on CraftBeer.com, you’ll find that two of their top ten beers come from our own back yard.
If you have a craving for beer, chocolate and cherries, then you could do much worse than a Chocolate Seduction from Brewery Ommegang. In the words of the brewer “Ommegang Seduction is lovingly brewed with six dark malts. Chocolatier Callebut
provides the chocolate, while Liefmans brings the cherries. This international romance is
consumated with a full body, alluring aromas and flavors of Belgian chocolate, and tart
cherries. Seduction is an ale to be lovingly embraced.
Beautiful, rich and smooth, roasty and malty throughout, Seduction offers balanced
chocolate-cherry notes, a bit of caramel sweetness, and a long, slow finish. Seduction is
welcoming and warm-hearted, gently hopped and harbors no bitterness, leaving only
a lingering glow. ”
Tipping the scales at 11% ABV, stout lovers may also want to give the Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout a try. Here is a beer that combines roasted malt and Belgian chocolate in the same glass.
