May 23, 2009 Bottled at RBJG park session. Almost black, fairly rich head. Licorice aroma with lots of coffee underneath. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Caramel lures underneath all the coffee. Medium bitterness.

Aug 29, 2007 Updated: Jun 20, 2008My Bottom Line:
Toasted bread sandwiches the caramel maltiness into a simple union sealed in an oily, svelte body. This is a clean and efficient Schwarzbier, nothing less, nothing more.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam skirts the copper-tinged black.
-Roastiness is rather mild, but the malt profile still works.
-Carbonation is harmless and fits the silky mouthfeel.
-That toasted bread dominates the nose, and reappears in the finish.
Bottle; 2007 vintage; best before 2007/12/27.

Jun 12, 2008 Medium beige head does not last. Black body goes dark red-brown at edges. Delicate burnt caramelly aroma,very harmonic. Sweetish burnt caramelly taste with chocolatey notes. Very clear and distinct. Sooty burnt caramel aftertaste lingers for a long time. Very nice. (0.33l bottle from Naito-san.)

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle. Small tan head that is quick to fade over a near black body. Aroma of coffee, leather, light wooden and must notes. Taste is dry, cocoa, smoke, coffee grounds and leather. A little bit sourish. Dry mouthfeel. Better than their Vienna.

Apr 6, 2008 A rather thin, sweet, mild schwarzbier (maybe even a dunkey) that’s got a lovely flavor profile if you like that sort of thing. I can’t wait to try their Vienna. Found it at a 7-11 in Tokyo. One of my favorites!

Jun 20, 2008 Blackish and stouty, filthy tan collar and lace. Fat and persistent. Brine, chocolate, smoke and bramble aroma. Bittersweet, burnt and swimming with yeast extract, cocoa and roast. Baltic-like, but creamier. Dry and attenuated with a burnt toast-like lingering bitterness. Too thick and ’glossy’ for a schwarz? Richly roasty, massively drinkable stout. ’

Jul 13, 2009 Bottled. Dryish, vegetal, funk, farmhouse and white sugar aroma. Light espresso notes. Light carbonation, medium body, with a nice roast bitterness in the finish. Pretty good.
