Tap at August Beer Club. Dark amber colour, small off white head. Aroma is toffee, bit of sweetness, lager like maltiness. Biscuity. Taste is similar, caramel, toffee malt, slightly woody, bit of fruit, toffee apple, touch of bitterness. Perfectly nice if a little plain. Quite easy drinking.

Bottle picked up at the Tokyo Station Daimaru for about 400 yen. Simply labelled August Beer Dark, brewed at Gotemba Kogen I believe, 5.5% I figure this must be the Maduro Dark or a Variant of it... Served in a fluted pilsner glass. A nice looking clear dark reddish amber color with a thick beige head. A rich malty aroma gives some caramel breadiness. The body is quite light, almost watery. The taste is grains, graham cracker, a bit bready with caramel in the finish. Sounds like this one is similar to shoulderbroken’s nice enough, no real off-flavors or problems to it but nothing really outstanding either... there may be two different August Dark’s I guess. This one is a good solid malty light beer.

Bottle from the Beer Club. Malty nose, caramel and chocolate. Dark brown with orange tints and a tall, fine, off-white head. Malty flavor, caramel, chocolate, light raisins. A decent dunkel, not overly rich or sweet.
