Coffee beer, now Chocolate beer in Japan
If coffee flavoured beer doesn’t sound good, how about chocolate flavoured beer? A local brewer in Kanagawa has produced a limited edition “chocolate beer,” especially for Valentines Day.
The “Imperial Chocolate Stout“ beer does not actually contain any cocoa, but the malt is roasted at a very high temperature to create the chocolate flavour and produce a rich, dark beer. The chocolate beer which has an alcohol content of 8.9% was first produced last year and costs about 630 Yen per bottle.

Nothing new about Chocolate Beer. We have it here in the UK too, and the Belgiums have it as well. Pretty tasty stuff.
Before my wife and I moved to Japan, we brought a pile of the stuff (http://www.bottledbeer.co.uk/index.html?beerid=142), and sent it on so that my parents-in-law could taste. They quite liked it. The Belgium one is a little sweeter and thinner than the stout.
Mind you, wish I was in Japan at the moment (came back to the UK), as I would like to try that beer! Anyone willing to send me some
