Warning: The following pairing suggestions are not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution, and don't blame us when your taste buds are ruined.
Pair your stout beer with chocolate that's as dark as your heart. We're talking at least 85% cocoa, or you're just wasting your time.
Step 2: Avoid the Weakness of Milk Chocolate for more expert pairing advice.
Coffee and stout are like two peas in a pod, except one of those peas is a coffee bean and the other is an Irishman with a beard. Pair your stout beer with coffee ice cream for a match made in heaven.
Step 3: Throw in Some Coffee Roast for Good Measure for more on this pairing.
You think you can just slap some plain chocolate on your stout and call it a day? Think again, pal. Try pairing your stout with some fancy-schmancy truffle chocolate. Your taste buds will thank you (or not, we're not judging).
Step 4: Truffle Trouble for more on the art of being fancy.
