A friend had been telling me about a chocolate stout recently and I was quite intrigued.  I lean towards IPAs and wheats but will try something off the wall.  She had to wait to go home at Christmas to get this stuff as it’s hard to find around here.  So, last weekend I finally had the great treat of sampling some Southern Tier Choklat.  Per the bottle, it’s a stout brewed with chocolate — sounds deep. WOW, give me some gingerbread, dark cherries and dark chocolate to pair with this and heaven had arrived!  It’s 10% ABV, super smooth and just disappears.  You don’t need much.  It comes in 22oz bottles so pick one up to share with a friend for dessert.

I’m going to have to check out some of Southern Tier’s other stuff, now, too.  They are located in NY and have a nice menu.
