chocolate beer?
A Danish beer brewer has launched a chocolate-flavoured dark beer which is a hit among tested beer drinkers and candy-lovers alike.
The drink is brewed with 10 grams of Valrhona dark chocolate per bottle; a dash of liquorice; and six different kinds of malt and has an alcohol content of 6.8 per cent.
The beer was first tested at 30 of Copenhagen's top restaurants in 2000.
It has been so well received, the company has decided to develop the project further, adding more chocolate to the mix.
The beverage reportedly goes down well with just about everything, complementing fish, meat and sweets.
The company has yet to decide whether it will export the product.
Chocolate Beer is a new beer for me Rox. The recipe is quite interesting. I'm planning to try it. I'm not sure if there will be a good outcome of my Chocolate Beer. Thank's for the idea.
I'm surprised it would taste good with fish. I imagined it might be good on its own, or maybe after a meal. I like chocolate and beer, but I'm not sure they belong together like that...
Has anybody here tried it?
Most of the stouts I make I use Hershey's unsweetened baker's chocolate. Between 4 and 8 oz. for a five gallon batch seems to work extremely well have had good success. I had to take a different approach to chilling the wort as it thickens up if you chill your wort prior to adding water to meet 5 gallons.
I have tested choclate and also tested beer but never had a choclate beer. I would love to taste it
I'm a little bit afraid of disadvantage of chocolate beer. Simply because a friend of mine has diabetis. She's not allowed to drink sweets. But she's very much interested to drink chocolate beer.
I went over to another home brewers house this last weekend to get his opinion on our BKB stout.
He has been brewing for years and is a ribbon winner many times over.
So I respect his opinion, I know he wouldn't BS me about the stout. He liked it.
I said something about trying a chocolate stout and he gave me a tip.
When you bottle your chocolate stout, he said to add a mint leaf or two to a couple bottles, then you will have a mint chocolate stout, or use mint extract, add this with an eye dropper, one drop in this bottle two in the next one, then three, and so on. Label them with which is which, how many drops and so on. Same with the leaves.
Sounds like a good tip to me so I thought I would pass it on.
As he said to me, "this is experimentation".
Oh, and keep good notes.
Has anyone tried Goat Scrotum Ale... found in Papazian's book???
I have seen where some have, but I'm planning on using the chocolate, licorice, ginger root and the juniper berries!! If anyone has brewed with all or most of these please give me some pointers. Why use them all???? Sounded yummy and I definately wanted something different. Also please state what the beer was like.
