Why do we love them so? Do they go toget her? You bet! Rich\, full flavored beers can balance the sweetness of many desserts and rich\, roasty stouts\, in particular\, make wonderful compan ions to the roasted notes in chocolate.\nIf you have never tried this deca dent fellowship of beer and chocolate\, you are missing something very spe cial\, indeed! For those lucky few that have already experienced this unco mmon marriage of food and drink\, you will instantly light up and say\, "W hat have I been missing all this time?!"\n\nBeer loves chocolate and its l ove is reciprocated! Historic cousins\, beer and chocolate truly belong to gether. With a full range of complementary aromas and flavors\, “the ele gant social elixir known as beer” marries exceptionally well with chocol ate! Many feel that the combination of malt and carbonation in beer and th e creaminess of chocolate create a lovely textural experience within the m outh\; expanding the flavor of chocolate on the palate.\n\nWhether beer is served with a chocolate dessert 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 arti san craft production of both chocolate and beer\, this is an elegant culin ary exploration of the physiology of taste itself and the taste pairing of beer and chocolate together. It will excite and educate your palate unlik e 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 fro sty glass of milk to go with that chocolate cake\, why not make it a glass of milk... stout?\n\nWest Flanders Brewing Company\, Jeff Mendel and Piec e\, Love &\; Chocolate have created this class like no other just for y ou chocolate and beer lovers!
