Can. Black with a light tan head. Aroma of mild roast and sweetened black coffee. So it tastes. No real finish. It really needed a little bitterness at the end but I guess it's supposed to be bland. Sound but dull.

Draft at Sapporo Bier Garten, Sapporo, Japan. Pours black with limited but persistent light yellow foam. Aroma is light of coffee and licorice stick. Body is kind of light with good carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet, with medium bitterness. Finish is kind of short too.

Light brown head. Dark brown color. Not much nose but the mouth has a nice sweet maltiness with good amount of roastiness. I detected some dark fruit and caramel notes. Modest acidity below the sweetness. Very approachable.

Can from Yamaya, Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, chocolate, soy sauce. Pleasant.
