Can from Daiei. Drank on the train home. A little roasted malt and light chocolate. Yeast is the first flavor that stands out. Too much yeast. Some raisin as it warms up. Mellows out a little s it warms. Body is ok....maybe s little too thin. Interesting slight sourness on the finish though.

Can from Mick, 5%, served in a snifter and drunk on the train home. A dark black, pretty much black pour with alight beige fizzy head. The aroma is sweet candy roasted chocolate sweetness. The taste is roasty chocolate & sweet fruity dark malts. A solid though unexciting dark beer.

Draught at Raisin-do. Shiny black with a tight, tan head. Chocolate nose, with milk, berries and fruit. Light and smooth body. Rich but not too roasty and also not too sweet. Nice fruit, some wood. Refreshing, very drinkable and tasty, with great balance, though quite light—probably great for Okinawa.
