330ml bottle from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured murky dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is herbal, floral. The flavour is moderate to light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, dry, herbal, slightly rich, dark malt, floral hop palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A shock to the system initially, but it grew on me.

This koslch from Niigata pours a surprisingly dark amber brown. I bought it to take my new stange kolsch glass for a spin. A fruity but somewhat neutral aroma if that makes any sense. The taste is very malty, nutty, sweet with some wine like character and a bit of heat, geez this is 7%! Ah no wonder this is nothing like I remember, the last time I had a Kolsch from Niigata it was their European Kolsch and this is their Golden Kolsch which is actually not gold in color, weird. I like it well enough but it is closer to an Old Ale or Scotch Ale than a Kolsch. This should be renamed. Pretty tasty but not what I was looking for to christen my kolsch glass.

Deep amber color with a medium head that quickly turned to lace. Fruity aroma, slightly spicy, amber malts, yeast evident, cherries. Sweet, port-like flavor, somewhat earthy and roasted tasting. Dark fruits, also a slightly medicinal aspect. Strong, a slight sour tinge. A bit like cough medicine. Strange and not very nice. Almost flat. Close to vile.
