so, i am from sapporo, and i have had royce' "raw" chocolate as well as having been to sapporo beer factory. while this particular beer i have not had (as others mentioned, it won't go on sale until 1/14, which is basically tomorrow US time), i know how well received royce' chocolate is. in fact, i brought a few boxes of raw chocolate here and all my friends loved it! so, i am very confident this beer will be good. can't wait to try one! (though i am slightly allergic to chocolate...)...
We will be holding a Chocolate Beer tasting at Bear Creek Beers on Friday - the line-up? Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence, Sam Adams Chocolate Bock, Siletz Chocolate Porter, Rogue Chocolate Stout, and Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I've had everything except the Ommegang, but I expect it to be delicious too. @#82 Seattle Pete, let me know if you get really desperate for the '09 Abyss, Southern Oregon is a tad bit flooded.... www.beercreekbeers.com...
