Chocolate and beer pairing is the perfect way to celebrate World Chocolate Day on Tuesday, 7 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovingly created by the Lindt Master Chocolatiers, Lindt Excellence features a wide variety of flavours and textures. Each chocolate delivers a sophisticated taste journey as it stimulates your five senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you may not know is that the Excellence range<\/a> of chocolates pair well with beer, as the flavour profiles of different beers are often similar to the notes in dark chocolate. The different flavours vary from intense to sweet, ensuring chocolate novices and connoisseurs alike are delighted when their favourite Excellence chocolate meets its perfect ale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindt\u2019s Master Chocolatier and the Brew Master at Jack Black Beer<\/a> in Cape Town, have put their heads together and created a list of recommended pairings you can easily try at home on World Chocolate Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindt Excellence 70% Dark with Jack Black Butchers Block Pale Ale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Balance” is the perfect word to describe this combination. The fruity undertones of the ale balanced by the 70% cocoa flavour pair extravagantly well with the symmetry between malt and hops found in Jack Black\u2019s Butcher Block Pale Ale. This, along with the underlying vanilla notes in the dark chocolate, creates a wonderfully distinctive taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate also pairs well with double espresso, Shiraz wine, green tea and red Vermouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
