Mikuni Japanese Black Beer

Brewed for a Sacramento chain of sushi restaurants (Mikuni). Compares quite favorably with Kostritzer Schwarzbier. Opaque. Little head. A little of roasty malt, a hint of chocolate, and a long lingering aftertaste that only hints of bitterness. Goes down easily, and goes well with ginger and wasabi. If the alcohol content were reduced, it would make a good session beer.
