There are many beers that have chocolate notes and Theo Chocolate's four-piece Beer Confection Collection explores the fusion of beer and chocolate flavors. The soy-free confections are said to have been created "to highlight the flavors of beer, from the smokiness of stout to the bright citrus of an IPA." In the collection, those who love chocolate and beer will find flavors like Immersion Amber Peanut Caramel, Dark Star Imperial Oatmeal Stout Marshmallow, Hazealicious IPA Pate de Fruit and Bodhizafa IPA Syrup Confection, each of which features the taste of local beers from different brewers.
The unusual chocolate collection brings out the flavors of ingredients like barley, hops and yeast, as well as honey and oats.
