Tap at Gar Eden. Dark brown, creamy golden head, little bubbles. Quite thick. Aroma is chocolate, cocoa powder. Nice. Taste is good. Rich chocolate, but some bitterness too. Malty ovaltine. Good stuff.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Iwate Kura’s Chocolate Stout 5% pours a thick fudge brown that becomes pitch black in the glass with a filmy beige head. Medium bodied with a silky mouthfeel. It has a strong savory chocolate syrup aroma with soy & hints of smoke. Wow, the taste is very roasty, oats & dark chocolate. Quite a solid chocolate stout & one of the better ones I’ve had this year.

Draught at Barley in Nishinomiya. Aroma of cocoa and roasted malts. Dry, bitter chocolate and coffee and roasted malt flavor. Good balance between them. Not too sweet. Creamy, rather light, and very drinkable. The chocolate works nicely.
