The Perfect Valentine’s Date

Forget the crowded restaurants and prix fixe menus. This Valentine’s Day, treat your special someone (or yourself!) to an evening of chocolate and craft beer.

The Pairing Experience

We’ve partnered with Austin’s Delysia Chocolatier to create a five-course pairing of chocolates designed specifically to complement Dark Roast Porter.

  • Three single-origin dark chocolates (Ghana, Ecuador, Madagascar)
  • How terroir affects both chocolate and coffee
  • Porter served at cellar temperature

Course 2: Inclusions

  • Chocolate with espresso nibs
  • Chocolate with sea salt
  • How salt enhances chocolate and beer

Course 3: Texture Play

  • Silky ganache truffle
  • Crunchy chocolate bark
  • Exploring mouthfeel contrasts

Course 4: Sweetness Spectrum

  • 85% dark chocolate
  • 70% dark chocolate
  • Milk chocolate
  • Finding your sweet spot

Course 5: The Surprise

  • A special creation just for this event
  • We’re not telling - come find out!
