Tillamook - Cold Brew Chocolate Chip

 

Today's flavor comes from the Tillamook Creamery and is called Cold Brew Chocolate Chip.  I bought it at Kowalski's on Grand in Saint Paul, but I have also seen Tillamook carried at local Target stores.  As mentioned in recent reviews, Tillamook has re-imagined their flavor menu for pints this year.  Their preview coffee flavor, Stumptown, appears to have been retired with this coffee-chocolate-chip flavor placed in its stead.  I have written in the past many times that coffee and chocolate is a great natural pairing because they each have a similar stimulant included -- coffee has caffeine and chocolate has theobromine.  Let's see how this Tillamook flavor compares.

Opening the pint and peeling back the protective foil, the coffee base has a pale beige color -- a lighter color than the usual coffee base.  The flavor is not strong, but it is quite delicious.  These frozen custards from Tillamook have a thick, but soft texture with not a lot of air churned into it.  As I keep digging my way down, I occasionally run into the chocolate chips.  These are of decent size such that a single chip can provide a good amount of chocolate.

This is a pretty good coffee and chocolate flavor from Tillamook.  Neither the coffee nor the chocolate is very strong, but both have an appealing taste.  I think this appeals to fans of Tillamook's frozen custard texture, but coffee and/or chocolate junkies may want something stronger.
