I am not sure what Maekchu means, maybe he got an off can or something... 280 yen or so from Lawson. 5.5% can served in a glass beer mug. It’s quite a good looking stout, deep black with a foamy beige head that left behind no lacing. The aroma is a mild chocolate with a bit of roastiness. Medium bodied the flavor is mostly lightly roasted coffee bitterness with a bit of chocolate in the finish. I think this is pretty good not terribly complex but alright.

0,35 l can. Ginga Gogenis one of the most available craft beers in Japan but for me this is the first time to try their Stout. Can looks stylish, black, some explanation about "what is stout". Beer pours out nice, beer is deep brown, almost black, some brown even in a foamy head. Well, that head disappears fast, leaving only few bubbles. Aroma is a bit too simple - it is possible tonote some roasted malts, and something soft - difficult to put my finger on it but it feels maybe like... raw potato? Something buttery in the aroma also. Taste is smoked malts, slight bitterness and somewhat sour finish. Body is light, not bad but also not entirely satisfying.

Dark beige head, fast gone over virtually black beer; shards of lace. (Wal)nutty, but also hazelnuts, perfumed in a very good way; roasted aromas. Sweet, liquorice, roasted nuts, black rice, walnuts. Not really well-bodied, but quite grist-slick. Not bad, just a tad too timid and sweet.

Draught at the Craft Beer Festival in Ichinoseki, Iwate. Roasty aroma, some dried fruits, lactic acid. Creamy, smooth body, good palate, good sweet / bitter balance. Slightly sweet but well-balanced and nice. Rich chocolate flavor and a nice roasted level. Very flavorful.

Dark brown with a lasting off-white head. Weak aroma of caramel. Dry and malty flavour with a caramel note. Clean, thin and boring beer.

Bottle, courtesy of faroeviking. It pours a clear, amber body with a beige head. Vegetables, caramel and burnt plastic in the aroma. The flavor is better, but it’s still not a very good one, with caramel, roasted malt and some fresh and dried fruits. Medium body. Roasted finish. Not a well-crafted beer. (080823)
