Novelty foods/drinks

[Pidgeon]

If by "all" you mean "not much when compared to all the beer that's made," then yes (which I'm sure you did).

The Iron Monkey has a lot of "craft beers" on tap including what seems to be about a dozen different chocolate beers.

why are we putting chocolate into everything?  blegh.

personally, i can't stand chocolate or fruit beers/stouts, but i enjoy anything draught.

as for "novelty", in memphis, i enjoy the fried pickles.

I like this Alex vs. Alex crankiness.  It's cropping up all over the place.

I have no idea why I felt I needed to come to the defense of weird, unnatural beer.

Abita Strawberry, which is a seasonal beer from Louisiana, is awesome. Insanely great with boiled crawfish.

I like flavored beers when they taste good and don't when they don't.  I've had good pumpkin ales, good chocolate, coffee, and chicory stouts, and that banana bread brew.  Haven't had much luck with fruity ones, though I did once have a gooseberry beer that was pretty good, and I'm not just saying that because "gooseberry" is such a fun word. (Also, Dogfish Head makes something called "Raisin d'Etre" which is raisiny and good, but it costs over $10 for a 12-oz. bottle.)

Flavored coffees, however--gaaaahhhhh.

dogfish head doesn't make much of anything i don't enjoy; and i hear you on this one...i enjoyed it.

Comes with a Jon Langford-illustrated label too!  I think.

[yesno]

I thought it was pretty well known that a lot of beer, particularly unfiltered wheat beer, can take on a citrus or banana flavors.  I couldn't tell you a particular kind since I'm not much of a beer guy.  Chemicals.

Raison d'Extra is the one that is about $10 a bottle, it is a limited version of their Raison d'Etre which is about $10 for 6 12 oz bottles.  That's very good too if you want a cheaper option. 

Not foreign or super exotic, just regional, but these are currently being devoured in great quantity in our household thanks to a care package from Marylanders.
