As Konishi Chocolat Premium 4.5% on tap at B&G
A cola black with ruby highlights, a beige head and a chocolate syrup aroma. The body’s quite full while the carbonation is sharp. The taste is chocolate syrup all the way. One dimensional but not too bad.
Sweet & syrupy chocolate sums it up well.

Pours dark brown, nice beige head, persistent. You get all these chocolate beers in Japan as Valentine’s day gets closer. This one is looking nice. Aroma is sweetish, some molasses, milk chocolate and herbal cocoa. Taste feels actually somewhat boozy, which is weird for just 4,5% beer (labels is saying 4,5%, not 5,5%). Sweet, cocoa and I am also getting come milk cocoa candies that have alcohol filling. They taste nice, maybe too full of cocoa or too sweet but not really bothering me. Bitterness is also there, also overshadowed by this chocolaty booze - and something resembling malts is coming out in the aftertaste. Body is thin, even a bit watery - but still almost in balance. Overall, for some reason this beer makes me feel nostalgic, probably some Soviet sweets I used to eat as a kid tasted similar :) Paired this with cheese and it did a good work.

Bottled. Hazy brownish amber, rich creamy head. Milk chocolate aroma. Sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Some red berries, but mostly cocoa. Low bitterness. Rather superficial.
