New from Hawaii – @MadreChocolate #chocolate

Triple cacao – chocolate, nib, and pulp. Yum. Hawaiian chocolate is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

#eatdrinkrelax #chocolate – High West Bourye

Blend of 3-yr bourbon, 12-yr rye, and 16-yr rye. Nice depth and complexity with a touch of sweetness and rye’s spice. I’d pair with a warm spice dark caramel ganache.

#drinkeatrelax #chocolate – Calvin’s of Brooklyn

My vote for the best filled tasting plate of the day. Jerk pork tips, ribs, pulled pork, and BBQ tips.

#drinkeatrelax #chocolate – Weihenstephan Korbinian

Dark, but not too. Malty, but not too. Brilliant soft bubble structure. Dark milks and “chocolatey” chocolates or caramels w/ peanuts or pecans. Yes – pecans. Nothing with fruit acids in it.

#drinkeatrelax #chocolate – Blacksauce bacon buttermilk biscuit

W/ smoked sausage gravy. Thinking maybe Porkslap Butternut? At a loss to think chocolate at this point … only halfway through the first session.
