I visited Dogfish Head's Rehoboth Beach brewpub while relaxing at that Delaware beach over Easter weekend and I was invited to try an early taste of their third ancient beer revival, Theobroma. It's Aztec-style fermented chocolate, at about 10% alcohol.

I'd describe it as moderately sweet with a complex flavor that (I'm speculating) comes at least in part from the chilies in the recipe and a distinct chocolate aftertaste. A glass of this would make an excellent dessert all by itself. Theobroma is scheduled for release in August
