Why do we love them so? Do they go together? You bet! Rich\, full flavo red beers can balance the sweetness of many desserts and rich\, roasty sto uts\, in particular\, make wonderful companions to the roasted notes in ch ocolate.\nIf you have never tried this decadent fellowship of beer and cho colate\, you are missing something very special\, indeed! For those lucky few that have already experienced this uncommon marriage of food and drink \, you will instantly light up and say\, "What have I been missing all thi s time?!"\n\nBeer loves chocolate and its love is reciprocated! Historic c ousins\, beer and chocolate truly belong together. With a full range of co mplementary aromas and flavors\, “the elegant social elixir known as bee r” marries exceptionally well with chocolate! Many feel that the combina tion of malt and carbonation in beer and the creaminess of chocolate creat e a lovely textural experience within the mouth\; expanding the flavor of chocolate on the palate.\n\nWhether beer is served with a chocolate desser t or the chocolate is brewed right into the beer\, the two work incredibly well together. Both share an affinity for a wide variety of foods such as fruit\, nuts\, salt\, and - have you heard - ? Yes\, even bacon!\n\nWith a focus on the beloved and small batch artisan craft production of both ch ocolate and beer\, this is an elegant culinary exploration of the physiolo gy of taste itself and the taste pairing of beer and chocolate together. I t will excite and educate your palate unlike any other food pairing\, and likely turn everything you thought you knew about taste and flavor upside down.\n\nSo\, next time you reach for a frosty glass of milk to go with th at chocolate cake\, why not make it a glass of milk... stout?\n\nWest Flan ders Brewing Company\, Jeff Mendel and Piece\, Love &\; Chocolate have created this class like no other just for you chocolate and beer lovers!
