Occasionally dubbed “The Emperor’s Rice” or “Forbidden Rice”, this grain was reserved for only the richest of the aristocracy according to oral history.
Japanese researchers have analysed Black Rice and found that not only is it full of vitamin E – which boosts your immune system and supports skin and eye health – but it also has high traces of anthocyanin, which has anti-cancer properties.

440ml can. Pours a near opaque deep brown with a small & short lived tan head. Aroma is black rice, a hint of hops and some dark roast malt (which must be the barley or rice as there is no malt). Beer is light like a lager which is weird when it looks like a Porter, off dry & with decent depth of flavour.
I like black rice but if you are looking for a bitter, hoppy lager then look elsewhere.
Different & good.
