Bottle at Arima Onsen. Pours a dark brown with orange tints and a low head. Nose is fruity and malty, grapes, caramel. Sweet flaovr, licorice and umami beans, lightly roasty, fruity, with chocolate and caramel and something like natto. Too estery, too funky, not sure if its got diacetyl too but unpleasant.
