| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 20/20 | 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! Gr0ve (1395), Oslo, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 2, 2008 355 ml bottle. Dark brown bordering to black with some copper hues. Small off-white fine-laced head. Oily roasted malt aroma. Some caramel, licorice and dark chocolate. Low carbonation level. Smooth texture. Well-balanced.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. ’ Capa (975), Yokosuka, Japan
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Deep brown with a rocky, beige head. Roasted malts, light smoke, earth, caramel. Medium, soft body. Light roasted malts, smoky, molasses, herbal notes, and a touch of vanilla. A real nice schwarz; I wish it wasn’t the hardest of the Coedo line to find. puzzl (2619), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. rallison (113), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2008 2007 Bottle (but still surprisingly decent).
Roasty with hints of licorice and caramel. Lightly smoky.
Thick for a schwarzbier - getting closer to stout range here, but quite nice. buzzoven (333), Japan
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2008 I had tried a few Coedo bottles in the past and can’t recall being overly thrilled with them; but their Shikkoku ranks up there pretty high with me. Pours a dark black colour with a well-sized and lasting head. Milk, chocolate, some fig and raisin on the nose...smooth creamy taste with a rounded mouthfeel. Slightly nutty and fizzy on the tongue. Finish is slightly dry with a subtle roasted feeling creeping in. Very nice. KyotoLefty (1415), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 10, 2008 Black with a medium off-white head.
Aroma: Roasted, smoky, creamy relatively rich and dry. Flavor: rich black malt but not burnt. Not excessively bitter. Creamy and smooth. Slightly smoky. A touch of sweetness in the mouth. A touch of tangy sourness. Dry, roasted finish. Still a bit creamy. Lasts quite a while. A decent Schwarz.
