Back at the Library for a Theobrama. Broke the usual rule and looked it up before deciding to go for it. Because I looked it up, I tool one sip and waited to see if the pepper would kick in after a min or two, and it DID.
At first it's sweet and smooth, really nice. An earthy, subtle bitterness follows but it's not exactly malty. Then in the back of my throat I can feel the peppery heat. Really light, completely unoffensive. Awesome how original this is.
Salma Hayek, easy call. While it might be offensive to say this to her face, I don't think she's as "Latin" as her attitude and image lead on. She's smooth and sweet first and once those characteristics have a chance to win you over, the heat drops in, just barely. This is an attractive beer. Also, boobs.

LA Beer Week: Dogfish Head Theobroma
So I dragged David back to the Library Ale House hoping to find redemption, which tonight might be spelled THEOBROMA. Dogfish, don't fail me now! (you almost never do)
Watcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when Theorboma comes for you. BAD BOYS rating.

| Hello gorgeous, you may look blonde but you taste like chocolate. I like you. |
So this is one of their specialty beers and I don't believe is widely distributed, so it might be hard to find. This is the description from Dogfish, it's a little wild:
Fortunately Library is awesome and has it on keg this week. To me this is a very remarkable beer. It pours a golden hue like a belgian and is briefly sweet upfront, but then it follows with a subtle spice and ends with chocolate crashing the party. It's a golden beer that tastes like chocolate. I'm in Heaven. If Theobroma was the President, I'd be chanting "4 MORE YEARS." President Theobroma. Has a ring to it. Adding points to awesomeness, the meaning of Theobroma is similar to a frequented phrase I use, 'nectar of the gods.' I can tell, this beer and I will be lifelong friends. Hopefully I can find it soon!Theobroma, or "food of the gods," is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs from Askinosie Chocolate, honey, ancho chilies, and annatto. The recipe is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras, which scientists claim is the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink.
