May 31, 2008 Pours black with light tan foam. Extremely unique aroma swirling with strong vanilla and sweet rice notes, burnt malts, chocolate, dark fruit, and mellow coffee. Flavor is also extremely unique, a great combination of mellow sweet notes and slight coffee bitterness. Cacao, vanilla, coffee, with cream and sweet rice. Very pleasantly surprised with this one, points added for originality.

May 26, 2008 Appears black in the glass. Full, large, well-developed light tan foam. Nose has an expressive espresso character, with mocha, dark roast coffee and a touch of chocolate and vanilla. Lots of taste, with a really impressive coffee character. Finish lasts and lasts. What else to say. Just a really impressively crafted beer. If I were in Ibaraki, I’d drink this daily.

May 25, 2008 Black in colour, rich tan coloured head, good size and retention, light lacing. The aroma is incredibly roasty, LOTS of coffee and espresso, sweet, some chocolate and cream. The flavour is roasty, again lots of coffee, cream, sugary sweetness, chocolate, a bit burnt. Very roasty mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, very roasty with lots of espresso bitterness.
This was just like a fine cup of coffee, excellent from start to finish. I loved the roast in this.
330ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheCheeseMan, thanks Dan.

May 25, 2008 Aroma of fine roasted coffee, dark chocolate, deepest brown, small cappuccino head. Flavour begins with a big roast coffee punch, some dark chocolate followed by burnt toast. Medium bodied, very well balanced, beautifully bitter. Terrific! Most impressed for a Japanese offering. Thank You Torontoblue.
