Niterói’s Cervejaria Noi offers whisky barrel-aged Imperial Stout kits as a bold, adult alternative to Easter eggs — starting at R$ 139.
Chocolate you drink
Cervejaria Noi, a craft brewery from Niterói, Brazil, is offering a sophisticated spin on Easter gifting: chocolate-forward craft beers, sold individually or as a gift kit. The centerpiece is the Cioccolato line — two award-winning labels that bring the world of cacao into the glass.
The Noi Cioccolato is a Russian Imperial Stout bursting with dark chocolate, coffee, and caramel. At 54 IBU and 12% ABV, it’s a historically bold style — originally brewed in England to survive the long sea voyage to the Russian imperial court. Noi brings that tradition to life with a distinctly Brazilian craft identity.
The barrel-aged version: layers of complexity
For those who want to go deeper, the Noi Cioccolato Barile takes the same base beer and ages it in oak barrels previously used for whisky. The result adds woody, vanilla-laced depth that makes each sip a different experience. Same 12% ABV and 54 IBU — completely different sensation.
Pairing ideas for your Easter table
Head brewer Guilherme Zanin shares pairing tips that go beyond the obvious. He recommends the Cioccolato alongside dark chocolate, where shared tannins and bitterness create harmony rather than competition.
The Cioccolato Barile pairs beautifully with milk chocolate and — believe it or not — white chocolate too. The wood and vanilla notes from oak barrel aging create an unexpected bridge with the cocoa butter in white chocolate. It’s worth trying!
