Cote d’ Or–This Belgian Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate (we carry them both) double-bar is one of our favorites!  With 80% cacao on the dark, it’s a dark chocolate lover’s dream!  The milk chocolate bar is creamy and wonderful!  Pair this with a Allagash White for an after-work reward!

Lindt–We offer a fun variety of Lindt Swiss chocolate bars such as Chili Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, Swiss Bittersweet, and Pistachio.  Anything goes with creative beer pairings, but, one of our favorite is the Sea Salt paired with a chocolate stout!
