Bottle from lawson kyoto 255 yen. Straight from bottle, nice design. Aroma of light roasted malt pale malt and an earthy smoked tone with caramel. Mild grainy a bit fruity maybe. Taste light sweet balanced. Medium body carbonated good dry finish but too short. Ok.

Bottle from Liquor Mountain. Earthy caramel nose, oranges, chocolate. Deep brown with orange and a medium, thick head. rich malt at first with chocolate, bread, and some caramel. Earthy, spicy hops with some citrus. Very nice at first, but it ends up a bit watery and thin, as most of these do, which seems to be because of the lactose they add. Lacks a punch, but generally tasty enough.
