Chocolat Brewery Beer from Sapporo

"Chocolate" beer is taking Japan by storm. Beer Chocolate, Kinshachi's Imperial Chocolate Stout (AMAZING-more to come on that soon!) and other darker malted brews are finding themselves onto shelves and into coolers around the nation. This latest brew, limited edition from Suntory, doesn't look like it will be sold in stores, but only online. Below is the description from Japan Marketing News.

"The headline reads "A chocolate drink for adults, from Sapporo and Royce.*" Mmmm. Exactly the thing for people addicted to both.

Japan's Sapporo Brewery and domestic confectioner Royce will start selling Chocolat Brewery, a limited-edition beverage, starting next Wednesday, January 14. The bitter malt brew is infused with chocolate flavor and will be available order-only through the Sapporo website until just January 23 (with deliveries around February 10). A three-pack is priced at 1,480 yen, more than $5 per can."

Sapporo isn't one of my top Japanese brewers, but I think I will order a pack of this interesting way to con me out of my hard earned money...I'll let you know how it goes...
