Chocchus
Parleaux Beer Lab

We rarely dabble in pastry stouts around here, but it’s carnival season and we need a special sweet treat to pair with ALL the king cakes. We partnered with Piety & Desire Chocolate and Hey! Cafe to create a beer inspired by a rich French hot chocolate (chocolat chaud). Chocchus uses cocoa from Peru as well as cocoa nibs from Vietnam, Tanzania, and Madagascar... all at irresponsible levels. We tossed in some Panamanian coffee beans from a family farm with rich chocolate and brown sugar notes. Finished with a healthy dose of lactose, this beer is a smooth, rich, creamy, chocoholics dream. (Note: a special shout out to our friends at Piety and Desire Chocolate and Hey! Cafe who are both awesome local artisans who source directly from cocoa and coffee bean farms.)
