Japan Brewers Cup. Nice aroma of dark fruit, caramel and touch of smoke. Bit of spice. Taste is good, with all the above, but lacking something.

Black as pitch, thick looking, with a medium tan head. Strong roasted barley aroma, dry and burnt, unlike a bock, slightly creamy and nutty with cocoa and just a touch of dark fruit. Dry burnt malt flavor, creamy, chocolate, coffee, slight dark fruits, a touch of smoke or peat. Tastes more like an export stout. I would bet there is roasted barley in there. Quite nice, really, but there is little bock about it.

@ GJBF 2007. Dark brown with a thick, tan head. Aroma is chocolate, sweet caramel malts, some milk. Flavor is similar, with plenty of tasty powdered chocolate, roasted malts, light smoke, and milk. I’d love to find a few bottles of this, this winter.

Very dark brown color. Big toffee, milk chocolate nose. Smooth, milk chocolate, hazelnut, toffee mouth and a milk chocolatey finish. Probably the best Christmas beer in Japan
