Tap at Takanoya in Kyoto. Alternating Current A deep inky thick black with red highlights. The aroma is soy, black licorice, barrel oakiness, very savoury, light vanilla and no discernible coffee though I did pick up on chocolate, a solid and fairly balanced beer for 15.1/% but this is definitely a sipper to share with someone. Best when chilled and probably even better with a few more years on it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours black with a transient tan head. Aroma is chocolate with some vanilla, and maybe coffee, and definitely smooth dark malt. Full bodied. A little heat is present. There’s a strong dose of vanilla, chocolate, and probably coffee. The rest is dark treacle. Killer stuff. Like super chocolate cake for impact.
