Tap at Komachi. Full on coffee aroma, not much else. Taste is similar, coffee dominated. Bit of light caramel behind it. Alright. Maybe the coffee hides everything else.

Tap @ BeerFes Yokohama, September 17th, 2017. Light brown pour with not much carbonation. Nose is thick with caramel and sweet Starbucks frappuccino. Not a pure coffee but a sweet gimmicky one. Some salty caramel umami. Actually interesting how they can get this dry and drinkable body to match with this caramelly and sweet frappuccino flavor. Coffee is there and drinks well, I guess that's good.

Tap at Awashima Souko. This was is the Kenya cinnamon roasted (fairly light roasted) version and the 4th in the series. It seems as though Marca uses a different single origin roast for each batch. Past batches included a dark roasted Brazilian single and a light roasted natural processed Ethiopian. Thanks to Davido for sharing! Pours a deep amber with a little bit of head that lingers. Huge milk chocolate bomb nose with some light espresso bitter notes along side some dark cacao as it warms. Very rich on the palate with more coffee, chocolate and caramel notes. A slight bit of buttery diacetyl comes out as it warms, but not terribly distracting. Good chocolately finish that lingers with nice caramel notes throughout. My first Marca and a good one at that. --- Beer merged from original tick of Coffee Amber on 13 Apr 2016 at 19:47 - Score: 7

On tap at Bay Brewing Yokohama, Yokohama. Slightly hazy dark amber with a minimal off-white head. Lovely aroma of freshly brewed coffee! Malty with notes of caramel, but the fresh coffee is dominating. Moderate sweet, surprisingly balanced and surprisingly delicious. Impressive and just lovely!

Marca Coffee Amber 4.7% On tap at Komachi. A nice reddish-amber-brown pour with a light beige head. The nose is a sugary milk coffee, enticing. Medium-light bodied with a raspy carbonation. The taste is sweet coffee and a honey biscuitiness in the finish. Very nice stuff.

Tap at Komachi. Deep brown, cloudy, with a low, thick head. Perfect coffee nose, rich and balanced without any astringency or sourness, plus some chocolate and caramel. Great mocha flavor, coffee, chocolate, some unnecessary esters with banana and peach, but the coffee is really perfectly done. Body is good and pretty full. Slightly too sweet, but really impressive. I would raise it up to about 6%abv and try to get it better attenuated and less estery and it would be world class.
