Root Beer

Produced by Hogarth, this Root Beer bar represents a departure from traditional single-origin focus. The maker processes the bar using a melanger to achieve a consistent texture, resulting in a 70 gram block that highlights the balance between cacao and added aromatics.

The chocolate base consists of 68% cacao sourced from Ecuador. What distinguishes this bar is the deliberate inclusion of ingredients typically found in traditional root beer recipes. The flavor profile features candied orange, sarsaparilla root, ginger root, licorice root, and orange oil, which provide a distinct herbaceous and spicy character against the dark chocolate foundation.

The ingredient list centers on cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and organic sugar, complemented by the botanical blend. Consumers should note that due to manufacturing practices, the bar may contain traces of milk, gluten, and hazelnuts.
