This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into 'food of the gods') is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds). It's light in color - not what you expect with your typical chocolate beer. Not that you'd be surpised that we'd do something unexpected with this beer!

Sounds interesting!

7. A bar I went to the other night had it on tap and I tried it - really good

It's hard to find a place that sells it but a store near me just got some and I'm picking it up after work.

2. I love me some Dogfish but it's damn near impossible to find out here in the west.

3. Dogfish did an extreme beer with a Czech brewery I know and....

it was rubbish! Undrinkable

4. Isn't there an inherent redundancy there?

Must drink beer.

8. now were talking,

I'm willing to try anything once, or twice, so where can one obtain this potent Brew?

9. First you have to be someplace in Delaware or nearby

I'm guessing it doesn't make it all the way down to Austin

11. I'm intrigued!

Lucky thing, there's a store called Wide World of Beer and boy do they have a wide world.

I'll have to look for that next time I'm up for some beer and in the neighborhood.

I got a Scottish Seaweed Ale that was DEEE-LISH!! Can't wait for more of that. :9
