330ml bottle. My very first Valentin Japan beer. Pours out a murky brownish almost no head. Nose is very interesting chocolate pit fruit spice very ripe banana and maybe even some green apple. Taste is just as interesting lots going on heavy pit fruit and a nice light sweet chocolate end.

4.5% bottle from Yamaoka. Served in a snifter. A cola brown pour with a very thin tan head that vanished as soon as it started. The aroma is sweet, yeasty, candied fruit like plums or figs with just a hint of chocolate in the finish - think fruitcake or brandy cake. The flavor is quite good, like a fruity dark Belgian beer, warming but it is just 4.5%! The taste is sweet, fruity, figs, with chocolate just being present in a sweet fudge/caramel finish. Probably one of the better Japanese Valentine’s beers out there. I really like it but it isn’t so chocolatey, tons of flavor for the low ABV. Think of it like a Westmalle dubbel with a hearty dose of chocolate flavor in the mix.
