From notes: bottle bought in Tokyo in May 2008, enjoyed October 2008. Almost black color. Small head. Aroma’s: sweetish, roasted malts. More roasted retronasal with additional sweetness and some bitterness. Flavor is moderate sweet, coffee, moderate bitter. Light to medium bodied. Finishes with coffee, bitter, but not harsh. Nice!
