St. Gallen Chocolate Glass Set

St. Gallen "Chocolate Glass Set

A combination of one chocolate glass and one 330ml (11.16us fl oz) bottle of Imperial Chocolate Stout 2022, a chocolate-flavored beer.

Imperial Chocolate Stout 2022 does not use confectionary chocolate or cocoa, but instead uses high temperature roasted "chocolate malt" to bring out the chocolate flavor. About three times as many raw materials are used as in regular black beer, and only about half of the usual amount is produced in one brew, making it very rich. The foam is hard and chunky, like a chocolate shake. It has a high alcohol content of 9% and can be aged for two years like wine.

The chocolate glasses are original creations by patissier Masashi Yanagi, and each glass is handcrafted from selected cocoa that goes well with the beer. The aroma of the cocoa in the glass and the aroma of the chocolate-flavored beer go well together, and it is said that you can feel the chocolate all the way through the aroma when the beer is poured, the aroma in your nose when you hold it in your mouth, and the aftertaste after drinking.
