Coffee and chocolate fever about to hit Johannesburg

Decadent combinations of coffee and chocolate are sure to hit the spot with Johannesburgers attending the annual Coffee & Chocolate Expo at Monte Casino in July.

South Africa’s favourite stout brand, Castle Milk Stout, will be in the mix with their popular Chocolate Infused Stout as well as beer cocktails.

Made with real cocoa, Castle Milk Stout Chocolate is brewed with speciality malts to create a malty chocolate character; this richness is complemented by the creamy smooth taste of Castle Milk Stout.  With an alcohol content of 4.5%, it is designed to be sipped and enjoyed for an easy drinking experience.

Castle Milk Stout Chocolate is slightly sweet, with hints of coffee laced with chocolate liqueur.

Johannesburgers will get their fix on at Monte Casino from 14-17 July. Tickets to the country’s tastiest expo are available online: www.itickets.co.za/search?query=coffee+chocolate
