Root Beer Braised Lamb Chops!

I know what your thinking, root beer, are you for real?  Oh most def, most def!  The root beer and honey came together and made this the best lamb dish I have ever tasted, and I normally don't care for lamb.  Rounded out with horseradish mashed potatoes and some from the freezer veggie blend, the fork tender lamb topped with sauce made from the braising liquid was PFT!!!!

1 tbsp vegetable oil
6 large lamb shoulder blade chops, about 3 to 3 1/2 pounds
1 bottle (12 ounces) good quality root beer
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup toasted sesame seed
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chipotle
1/2 tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 cup water
additional toasted sesame seeds to garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
