Bottle of Black Beer Stout Lager from emart in Seoul. Just 1040 won, it pours a dark brown with a tan head. It has a strong roast malt coffee-ish aroma but the flavor is mostly lager hay/grass followed by a bit of caramel & roast dark malt flavor. It is ok but more of a dark lager. It is by no means a stout, very grassy & a twist top which I hadn’t seen in awhile.

Bottle at 7 Bar in Seoul. It poured your basic boring clear gold. It has a skunky grass aroma with a rough grassy hay flavor. It was kind of sour, worse than Cass. Not pleasant.

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear straw yellow with a thin broken white head. The aroma and indeed much of the flavour is very malty. The palate is weak and watery. It’s drinkable, but no classic.
