Chocolate & Beer Bliss
Words to describe beer are synonymous with the delicious and decadent food we eat. From toasted malt, smooth caramel character, to bitter chocolate, fresh cut citrus and fruit-like esters. Essentially, beer is food.
With this is in mind we teamed up with Pinellas Chocolate Company, to create our Maven Chocolate Milk Stout. Dark and Ominous This medium-bodied brew aged on Venezuelan cocoa nibs sourced from PCC, has interwoven flavors of dry roasted malt character, slight creamy sweetness, notes of cocoa, dark chocolate and roasted coffee.
The Pinellas Chocolate Company are local Bean to Bar Chocolatiers. Here is more on this truly unique local company from their website :
“Pinellas Chocolate is a family-owned chocolate maker, located in Pinellas County, Florida. Through our roots in confectionery R&D, we were introduced to the fascinating world of bean to bar chocolate while working on a contract project for a Hawaiian cacao grower.
Soon after that, we began experimenting with cocoa beans from all around the world. We learned how each step of the chocolate-making process influences the flavor and quality of the finished chocolate, and how each bean has it’s own unique flavor profile, depending on origin country, growing region, tree variety, and other factors.
As our trials continued to yield delicious results, it was only natural for us venture deeper into the world of bean to bar chocolate making. With the overwhelming support of our test batch recipients, we decided to turn our love for this special chocolate into a business and share it with you.
Our product line consists of single origin, Florida-inspired and seasonal varieties of bean to bar chocolate, to accommodate a variety of palettes and preferences. Regardless of which bar you choose, we think you’ll agree that Pinellas Chocolate is a delicious escape, ready any time to share with friends and family, or keep all to yourself!
