Look for something malty and dark, either roasty like a stout or porter, or with good dark fruit flavors, either from fermentation like in an old ale or a dubble, or from actual fruit, like Cherries in Kreik. I had a buddy who made a Klingon Stout with prune juice that would have gone nicely with chocolate.

Beer and chocolate....
Mmmmmmmm

Rum, Bermuda or Jamaican Dark rum especially goes well with chocolate. Brandy - Cognac or Armagnac. Sloe Gin.

Wine does not work all that well with chocolate. More accurately, it ought to work better than it does, but the mouth coating properties of chocolate that are scrubbed so well by beer tend to prevent wine from being tasted properly.

But this is nonsense. Sacramental wine is what you need with Chocolate Jesus. It's an immaculate confection.
