So how does it taste? All in all, I kinda like it. The bitterness of the syrup filling married surprisingly well with the sweet chocolate, and the overall taste is well balanced. It’s heady aroma reminded me of Swedish brewery Oppigårds, and their pale ale Amarillo APA with it’s grassy tone and subtle hints of citrus.
Overall, a fun experiment that resulted in a surprisingly well rounded chocolate bar, designed for hop maniacs and chocolatiers alike.
A shout out to Lauren Deitsch, the lovely lady who developed this bar at Lake Champlain!
