33,4 cl bottle @ hotel room, Hiroshima. bottled on 03/2011, BBE 02/2012
Sweet, syrupy-malty aroma with some roastiness. Some hints of chlorine. Very malty, sweet and syrup-like taste with roastiness. Feels a bit like rye pudding. Hides the abv well. An ok stout, but too malty and sweet.

Bottled at RBJG park session. Nearly black, beige creamy head. With lots of chocolate, notes of salt and plums and solid full sized body it certainly takes me by surprise. Mild, yet warming with alcohol hidden in caramel and tar. Lingering cocoa bitterness. Why aren’t all Asahi beers this good?

From a bottle a few days past its "drink by" date. Black with a tall tan head. Appetizing. Sweet, fruity aroma, cherry, something sour, some metal, chocolate. Sweet-and-sour flavor with raisins, coffee, bitter chocolate, lots of burnt malt. Has a bit of a wild-yeast, sour flavor as well. Complex, but I think this bottle is showing its age. I’ll go for the draught for the re-rating. Nice stuff from this big brewer. Wish all their beers were this good.

Poured deep ruby/brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, whiskey, caramel, and chocolate. Body is a little thin for my tastes. Deeply roasted flavor. Sweet, coffee, bitter sweet chocolate, and a bit of alcohol though the 8% is pretty well hidden. the whiskey is noticeable in the finish along with a nice bitter end. I’m impressed, and would drink this again.

This beer is significantly better on draft, than in a bottle IMO. A beautiful pitch black color with a little amount of off white head. The nose exudes liquorice, dark fruit, salt, plums, whisky, but surprisingly little dark chocolate characters. The dark chcolate comes out more in the bitter sweet mouth that has subtulties of dark fruit, whisky, caramel, baked cake and strawberries. Alcohol has significant presence as well. The finish is like a baked cake drenched in dark chocolate and whisky, though not overly sweet. Great stuff!

Black. Slight head. Sweet, rich, dark malt aroma with massive depths of plum, raisin, dark chocolate, spices, and plenty of alcohol. The silky body is less complex, sadly, than the aroma. It has chocolate and sweet dark malts, but lacks the fruity density and alcohol kick the aroma told me to expect. It’s drinkable, and overall fairly decent, but lacks the depth and complexity to measure up to the Couragesque aroma. Flavourwise, it’s more on a par with ABC Stout...not the worst thing on Earth but the aroma had me expecting a world classic.
