Huge thanks to IslandHaole for this one. This one is world class! Obsidian pour with medium tan head and great lacing. Aromas of big chocoff, oak, cabernet, some tart kriekiness. Tastes roasty malty, with chocoff, some peat mossyness, whisky, and finishing touch of tartness. Medium palate with great complexity. A great beer.

Thanks to IslandHaole! Black pour, a little light seeps through the edges. Aroma is of rosted malts, light coffee. Flavor echoes that, but has a weird bitter hop taste, very dark as well. Strange feel too, overall a very odd stout indeed. Dry finish, lingering aftertaste.

Just found this on my last road trip, finally! An opaque dark brown/black color with a medium brown head. Dark Chocolate and roasted malts in the nose. A thick mouthfeel, bitter-sweet and warming. A touch of floral flavored hops. It is similar to their Black beer but a thicker feel and more complex. Reminds me mostly of the Australian brew, Coopers Best Extra Stout. You have to like Stouts to appreciate this beer! In my opinion, this is Asahi’s best made beer. I do have an extra bottle for trade!

Pretty ordinary.... very rough, nothing much here really. Easily one of the worst stouts I've tasted. Big dissapointment.

Very intense dark color. Coats the mouth with notes of smoke, tar and brandy. Gets hard to drink after awhile
