Gotta start cracking open my chocolate beers as Valentine’s Day fast approaches. The special 2021 variant from Sankt Gallen is: Sankt Gallen Le Lectier Pear Chocolate Stout 7% I didn’t think the ABV would be so high but this inky black brew has a decent tan head. The aroma starts off roasty chocolate goodness then in comes sweet pear notes. Fairly full bodied and the flavor of pear is quite full on sweet pear interlaced with roasty cocoa. Kind of weird but it does what it set out to do, mission accomplished. I wish I’d found some pear sweets to pair this with...

Bottle from Takashimaya. Roasty nose, cafe ua lait, dark chocolate, light pear-like fruitiness, berries. Black with a tall tan head. Pear is more evident in the flavor, dark milk chocolate, sweet milk coffee. Interesting gentle fruit sweetness does eventually cloy a bit but it finished dry and roasty.
