Trou du Cru from Berthaut →
The Kowalski’s cheese guy strikes again. This cheese is similar in texture to my beloved robiola, but more pungent and made with 100% cow milk. Also, it comes in delightful little 1.5-inch rounds (a.k.a. personal size!)

The waffles only used up 1/2 my bottle of milk stout, therefore chocolate stout cake #2 is forthcoming.

Originally bought this bottle for my birthday chocolate stout cake, but used this instead. Naturally, I am making chocolate beer waffles tomorrow.
