Rogue Chocolate Stout was released for sale in the USA in early 2001 in 22 ounce bottles and kegs. Until then it was brewed for export to Japan (12 ounce Choco Bear Beer) and sold on tap, very occasionally at Rogue Ales in Newport (before Issaquah Brewhouse, Eugene City Brewery and Rogue in San Fran, Portland & Astoria, Oregon opened), That all changed in 2001 and by 2003 Chocolate Stout became available year-round due to popular demand.
Infused with real Dutch bittersweet chocolate using an oatmeal stout as the base (Shakespeare Stout), Rogue Chocolate Stout is a hearty ale, chock full of body and flavor. Truly a 20th century recipe for the 21st century beer drinker!
