For our Tuesday tasting tonight we’re doing a unique pairing of smoked beers (Rauchbiers) with very bizarre chocolates. All the beers are the Aecht Schlenkerla line of beers from Bamburg’s Heller-Trum brewery (which are made with malt smoked over beechwood harvested outside the brewery), and the chocolates are delicious concoctions from Vosges Haut Chocolat. Check out the “menu”:
Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen with Mo’s Bacon Bar (Applewood smoked bacon and alderwood smoked salt with 45% cacao milk chocolate)
Aecht Sclenkerla Urbock with Mo’s Dark Bacon Bar (Applewood smoked bacon and alderwood smoked salt with 62% cacao dark chocolate)
Aecht Schlenkerla Doppelbock, again paired with more Mo’s Dark Bacon Bar
And for the strangest twist on “dessert” you’ve ever seen, we’ll be pairing the sweet smokey flavors of Aecht Schlenkerla Weizen with Vosges Red Fire Bar, a Mexican ancho and chipotle-chillie and Ceylon cinnamon-infused 55% cacao chocolate bar.
Come on out to enjoy the most interesting flavors Franconia has to offer, and we’ll be discussing this intriguing beer region as we sip and taste the chocolates! Hosted by Taylor tonight. 6PM sharp!
