This is a "mash-up" from Hokkaido based brewery Sapporo and Hokkaido based chocolate company "Royce", and an unusual mix it is too.Location : Japan > Hokkaido

I've had chocolate beers before and, well, I'm not a big fan, so wasn't expecting too much from this.
It's a dark red/brown colour on pouring leaving a black filled glass, with an off white foamy head (does a good impersonation of a glass of coke!).
It has a really strong smell of bitter chocolate.
Has quite a smooth but unusual taste, with quite a strong bitter aftertaste followed by chocolate. Leaves a bitter chocolate taste in the mouth.
Overall not as bad as I was expecting and the aftertaste actually left me wanting to go back for more.
Having said that, I don't think I'll buy any more of this as by the end of the glass it was becoming a bit too heavy and well, chocolatey I guess.
Good to try though, give it a go if you like beer, or chocolate, or both.

| The flavor was quite strong, but the beer lacked the supporting texture. Like you, its consistency and head reminded me more of a Coke. Interesting. Obvious chocolate + dark beer flavor. Enjoyed the novelty of it, but not something I'd order on a regular basis. My review of Chocolat Brewery here: http://bit.ly/aSZPtu |
