The dark caramel, large dense headed brew, with its 8.8% alcoholic content, is unique due to its sweet notes of chocolate and coffee interspersed into a foundation of dark roasted barley. Symbolic black to denote leadership, power, focus and strength, is dominant in the labeling as the lion journeys in the twilight unafraid, unbowed and unchallenged.

A black beer with a beautiful, dense and mocca head. Balanced nose, lots of roastiness combined to sweet berries, strawberries and coffee. Taste is strongly roasted, lots of coffee and sweetness of burned sugar. The end is dryer with pleasant coffee, now more balanced sweetness. Only medium bodied that is too thin, unfortunately. Better when the beer is warmer. This is tastefull beer, simple, roastiness, coffee and sweetness.

330 ml bottle from Aeon Liquers @ Hon-Atsugi. Pours dark-dark brown with a light brown bubbly head. Aroma is fruits, cherries, chocolate, cherries again, fresh coffee. Nice. Taste has some hop bitterness and malt maltiness in the beginning, mixed with aged wine flavours - but then other taste layers come out and a fruit garden is exposed. Some dark dried fruits, cherries and raisins give way to a lingering dry and even somewhat nutty aftertaste. It lasts several minutes. It seems that foreign stouts could be one of my favourite beer styles (last week tried Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and loved it too), need to start looking for more of them.

33cl bottle. Black color, brown, thick head, looks great. Dark chocolate, roasted malt, licorice and yeasty notes. Flavor has chocolate, coffee, berries, yeasty notes and roastedness. Finish has strong coffee notes. Musty, almost full bodied, smooth. Tasty stout with some yeasty/berry notes that perhaps not belongs there.

[Thanks to McTapps]. Bottle. Black colour with a creamy and dense beige head, good lasting with nice lacework. Aroma is roasty, with light smoke notes and chocolate. Flavor is light sweet, good maltiness, notes of chocolate and light coffee. On palate results a beer very smooth, dense and moderate creamy.

Pitch black, tan creamy head that stays for a while and decent lacing. Starts very bitter, than caramel, chocolate, coffee, overall roastiness, some brown sugar, syrup. Sweet-and-bitterflavour with strong roasted malt undertones. Full body, slick feel, distinctive bitter finish with hints of spices and sugar
