A black beer with a beautiful, dense and mocca head. Balanced nose, lots of roastiness combined to sweet berries, strawberries and coffee. Taste is strongly roasted, lots of coffee and sweetness of burned sugar. The end is dryer with pleasant coffee, now more balanced sweetness. Only medium bodied that is too thin, unfortunately. Better when the beer is warmer. This is tastefull beer, simple, roastiness, coffee and sweetness.

330 ml bottle from Aeon Liquers @ Hon-Atsugi. Pours dark-dark brown with a light brown bubbly head. Aroma is fruits, cherries, chocolate, cherries again, fresh coffee. Nice. Taste has some hop bitterness and malt maltiness in the beginning, mixed with aged wine flavours - but then other taste layers come out and a fruit garden is exposed. Some dark dried fruits, cherries and raisins give way to a lingering dry and even somewhat nutty aftertaste. It lasts several minutes. It seems that foreign stouts could be one of my favourite beer styles (last week tried Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and loved it too), need to start looking for more of them.

Dark golden in the glass, white head. No real smell. The beer starts a bit sweet, highly drinkable and fruity. In the mainpart comes to the fruity nose a bit of alcohol. The aftertaste is a bit sharp, alcohol, malty-sweetness, not mine.
--> the 8.8% are noticeable all the time, the beer is quite sweet and has a huge lack of aroma.
--> 3/5/2/3
