Cola-like acidity mixed with modest notes of chocolate and caramel, with a touch of lemon and a faint floral bitterness on the back end. More complex than regular Sapporo but not better.

Drunk in NYC from a can purchased in a Japanese supermarket. Brings back memories from Richmond and Cary Street Wine, where I believe I often got this beer around 25y ago. Yep there's that malty, light-molasses black flavor that is full but dry, balanced with pretty smooth earthy-forest-smelling hops. Not super complex but sufficient, quality flavor and refreshing bitterness. Drink cold!

Tin. Black body with fast fading brown head. Malty aroma. Malty taste with a little fruit. Fast finish. Last tin at a local Safeway.

650ml can into glass. From 1st choice liquor, Sylvania. Made in Vietnam. Dark brown/red beer with a thin coffee coloured ring. Nose has touches of fruit and coffee. Chocolate/coffee flavour, slight effervescence. Quite sweet. Finish has loads of umami and lingering coffee. Self described as a dark Lager, not so sure about that. Nice enough but too sweet to have more than one.

Can. Pours a very dark clear amber-brown with a beige head. Malty aroma. Taste is toasted malt, caramel, some nuttiness. Finish is a bit sweet. Not great, but better than expected.

22 oz can. Black pour with ruby highlights and a beige head with decent retention. No lacing. Low carbonation. Light body. Muted roast lager flavor. Smooth and easy drinking. The flavor is simple and short-lived. Decent.

Brewed in Canada. 650 ml can.
A very dark brown..reddish highlights pour. Nice head of tannish foam.
Smells of roasted malt, grain and some hops?
Light roasted malt flavour, dark chocolate, which I would suggest brings the bitter notes to the table. There are some sweet chocolate/caramel tastes as well.
Decent body with adequate carbonation.
Not bad.
