The geniuses at the Food Network came up with this simple but intriguing beer cocktail.

The recipe calls for a chocolate stout. I’d recommend one by Rogue Ales or Wells & Young’s Brewing Company.

Chocolate Velvet

2 oz chocolate stout
2 oz Prosecco
Ground chocolate

Rim a chilled champagne flute with chocolate by pouring some ground chocolate onto a small plate and rolling the outer top edge of it in the chocolate.

Tilt the glass and pour the stout in slowly  down the inside of it to make as little foam as possible.

Then, slowly pour Prosecco down over the back of a spoon and into the glass, layering the two alcohols.
