Takatalo & Tompuri Kaski Imperial Stout

Dark chocolate has a fairly strong flavour that goes best with a full-bodied beer or a rich – and usually sweet – wine. White chocolate has a more delicate flavour, and is therefore better paired with very mild white dessert wines.

Beverages for socialising are usually uncomplicated, with easily approachable flavours that don’t necessarily need to be accompanied by food. They also include beverages that suit a party atmosphere.

Strong cheeses work well with comparably full-bodied beverages. If you opt for wine, it will often be sweet and maybe even fortified.

You can enjoy a broad range of beverages with savoury snacks. They are often served before the main meal, so your beverage should be mild and fresh.
