Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is molasses, soy sauce, and roasted malts. Taste is sweet, but not at all cloying. Kind of burnt molasses aftertaste. Not a great stout, but it is what it is.

Some Japanese store: Pours amber with a whitish head. Aroma is light caramel and mediocre amber ale smell (if you know, then you know, if not, then you don’t). Taste is old caramel and some nondescript bitterness. Sugary aftertaste. Very mediocre.

Golden color with a white head that quickly diminishes. Aroma has grassy notes, light malts and hay. Light maltiness with a light sweetness. Watery on palate.

Can from Daiei in Himonya. Drank from the can. Light resiny pine aromas with faint caramel syrup. Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Resin, piney flavors are faint but noticeable, also some grapefruit and a weird cardboard caramel that reminds me of a macro lager. Clean finish that is lightly dry. Refreshing I guess, but not much malt or hop character noticeable. Pretty bland.

Can from Food & Company in Gakugei daigaku. Drank straight from the can. Nice light roasted malt and a touch of lemon in the nose. Body is a little thin and mouthfeel starts off creamy but then spins out of control into watery territory. Palate is well-balanced without being too sweet. Malty character present but a bit too light. Slight hoppy finish with a bit of sour tang in there as well. Dry and bitter finish. Not a bad effort.
