Was out for dinner this eve, had a Dogfish Head Theobroma. Chocolate (cocoa), ancho peppers, honey, anatto. Anyone done anything using this blend or these spices before?
By the way, the stuff was absolutely yummy - just enough pepper to know it was there, just enough chocolate to make it interesting, primary function of the honey seemed to be to lighten the body of this 9% monster and I have no idea what to do with anatto or what I was looking for in the flavors. The beer was medium-brown, a bit hazy, warm impression from pepper and spice and it does go to the head. Found it at an Irish pub, of all places (where I also put down a Tank 7 Saison/Farmhouse - Lola drove home....).
