Tap at the Romantic Village. Bit creamy, some soy sauce, decent roast. Bit of smoke. Alright. Smooth. Nothing wrong with it, just not so exciting.

On tap at Ibaraki Bakuon. Romantic Mura Tochi no Kuro 5% a deep black with a ruby highlights. The aroma is savoury chocolate syrup. Med-light bodied this is bitter chocolate fudge on a raspy carbonated body. Decent but I’d like a somewhat fuller body.

Bottle. Dark brown. Woody, smoky roast nose, with cream and chocolate. Sweet flavor, very milky, with chocolate, cafe au lait, pretty well roasted too, with wood and a bit of smoke. Very sweet, and cannot quite maintain balance. A bit cloying. Not all that bad, but too thick and syrupy.
