Chocolarder x Verdant Lightbulb Pale Ale Dark Chocolate 70g

Description

Chocolarder x Verdant Lightbulb Pale Ale Dark Chocolate is an extraordinary collaborative creation bringing together two iconic Cornish craft producers. Infusing single-origin dark chocolate with the vibrant spent hops and aromatic profile of Verdant’s celebrated pale ale, this innovative bar delivers a striking harmony between rich cacao and bright, resinous botanicals. Crafted for adventurous palates, this distinctive chocolate serves as a superb partner to juicy IPAs, complex saison ales, or vibrant citrus cocktails.

The aromatic profile opens with a captivating bouquet of crushed pine needles, grapefruit zest, and tropical fruit, beautifully integrated with deep top notes of roasted cocoa and toasted grain. On the palate, this dark chocolate presents a smooth, luxurious melt that reveals rich flavours of bittersweet cacao, candied lemon peel, and juicy passionfruit, balanced by an intriguing hop bitterness and subtle biscuit malt depth. The tasting experience finishes long, crisp, and delightfully aromatic, leaving a lingering, sophisticated trail of pine resin, dark chocolate, and zesty citrus.

Hailing from Falmouth, Cornwall, both Chocolarder and Verdant Brewing Co share a passionate commitment to local provenance, ethical craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Utilizing zero-waste principles and traditional machinery powered by renewable energy, Chocolarder carefully processes ethically traded cocoa beans to harmonise seamlessly with Verdant’s hop profiles. By merging world-class bean-to-bar chocolate making with modern Cornish brewing innovation, this collaboration delivers a truly unique, award-winning confection celebrating West Country craft.
