    Any that exist that anybody knows of? Randomly thought of this and think it could delicious. If not strawberry, raspberry.

    I've been to brewpubs and bars where they mixed chocolate stouts and strawberry beers to make something like this. Not aware of any that actually brew a chocolate strawberry beer, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone does it.

    It's a tasty combination.

    I mixed a Rubaeus with a Young's Double Chocolate Stout a few months ago and it was pretty good, but I think a specific strawberry or raspberry and chocolate stout would be great (FOUNDERS, YOU DO IT).

    Bramble Rye, Lindley Park, and Rasberry Truffle Abduction are all great raspberry stouts.

    I've mixed Sam Smith's organic chocolate and organic strawberry, and it was good

    Goose Island brought a Neapolitan BCBS to the Great Taste a few years ago that was out of this world!

    Beer Works will soon be releasing a chocolate strawberry stout as their next bottled seasonal. Unfortunately for the OP, this beer will not be available in markets outside of Massachusetts.

    I really liked Saugatuck Neapolitan Stout. Available in MI as a shelf beer.Strawberry was a bit artificial but I still really enjoyed it and thought it pulled offthe neapolitan concept great. I'm willing to bet the exact same beer would have a better rating if made by Founders or Bell's, as Saugatuck has a generally ho hum reputation.

    Yeah, again not strawberry but Stone made a cherry chocolate stout as one of their collabs, it was pretty darn good.

    I went to a tasting this week and they were pouring Sam Smith's Chocolate Stout with a raspberry Lambic, I wasn't a huge fan but a lot of the people there thought it was a marvelous idea.

    I'd rather have a Courage stout with a chocolate covered strawberry on the side.

    I made a homebrew chocolate strawberry imperial stout last summer. Came out pretty decent. Used 6 lbs of frozen strawberries in secondary for 2 weeks. Still have some left.

    could you taste any strawberry?? If so did it fade?

    Strawberry was definitely noticeable and can still taste it a year and a half later. Since the strawberries are flash frozen, they're pretty much the freshest you can get them.
