One of my daily reads is Boing Boing, the “Directory of Wonderful Things”.
The other day, guest blogger Bruce Stewart from (among others) GeekDad (another regular read) offered an ad for a new chocolate beer from Sapporo, then seemed incredulous at the combination.
There’s beer in my chocolate! There’s chocolate in my beer! Somehow this combo doesn’t feel nearly as right as Reese’s famous mixing of peanut butter and chocolate. I drink many different types of beer, but I don’t think this chocolate beer is going to work for me. Anybody tried this?
To me, someone who drinks “many different types of beer” might have come across beer made with chocolate, or at least realize that there is a whole world of beer out there with non-Reinheitsgebot-allowed ingredients. I hope Bruce’s horizons have been broadened. Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is mentioned multiple times in the comments (I rather like it myself) but there are quite a few others mentioned.
What’s your favorite beer made with chocolate (as opposed to chocolate malt)?
I’m a big fan of Southern Tier Chokolat.
Me too. Oddly enough, I’m NOT a fan of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Blech.
I love Rogue Chocolate Stout
choco beer is great, I suggest this one from Japan called Imperial Chocolate stout

While Youngs and Rogue are delicious, i think the best is Ommegangs Chocolate Indulgence.
I’ve seen Chocolate Indulgence at my retailer. I don’t know if I’m ready to take the plunge on such a large bottle.
