A very nice dark beer. Aromas of burnt caramel, coffee and toast. Fulsome mouthfeel with a little sweetness. I could keep knocking this back.

330ml bottle while hearing the death of the Queen. Pours dark brown, off-white head. Sweet dark caramel nose. Flavoursome taste profile, good deep treacle and mild liquorice notes. Medium body. Decent.

Tap at SVB Kyoto but made at the Shiga Kirin plant. I am guessing it is a schwarzbier. Why can they put the OG and FG, Brewer, ABV but not the style??? Wtf??? The Japanese tasting sheet says it has a latte aroma, I'd say it smells like a sweet stout dosed with chocolate syrup. The taste is rich chocolatey and has dry roasty chocolate notes. Brewed by Munenori Matsumoto I'd say it is the best of the "core"

Pours dark brown, not very foamy. Aroma has some cocoa, mainly dark roast, and also lots of coffee. taste is bringing out even more coffee, really a coffee bomb. Not much bitterness, some tartness even, Smells much sweeter than it actually is. Slight roast bitterness lingering in the finish. Pretty good actually, surprising.
