(Can) Pours clear dark brown with big loose tan head. Pleasant aroma of toasted bread although with some boiled vegetable and metallic hints. Light bodied with good carbonation. Dark roast / burnt flavours with vegetable and toffee notes and a bit of balancing acidity. Pleasant enough.

On tap at Osushi, Coolangatta. Brown/red beer with luscious creamy head. No carbonation. Fruit and malt nose. Smooth texture, really smooth. Light malt. Good lacing. Malty fruity dark lager. Very very nice. Great with Japanese food.

Can, 6C. Deep brown with a dense pale beige head that never quite disappears. Aroma of singed toast with some caramel. Clean, barely sweet with some coffee, caramel and toast. Modest bitterness but enough. Refreshing. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Monsuta Okinawa Dark on 19 May 2024 at 12:39 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Can. Another Dan Murphy partially-disguised house label beer. Brown with a good inch of pale beige head that fades after a while. Aroma of caramel, some toast, hints of nuts. Pretty sweet but clean and convincingly malty with modest bitterness. Not bad at all.

Can at the Landronka diskgolf course. Dark amber-red body, off-white head. Dry meaty minerally aroma. Bit smokey, dry, lean taste, caramelly and roasty. Quite okay! And yay for my first Okinawa tick!
