Commercial Description:
Bottle & can: Pasteurised.
Ingredients: Dark roasted malt; hops; rice; maize; Asahi’s pure cultured yeast.
Japan’s favourite dark beer. Brewed in Osaka, Asahi Black is made from three different roasted malts. This gives it a rich, nutty flavour and makes it incredibly smooth-drinking. Unlike other, more bitter dark beers and stouts, it’s brewed in a process called bottom fermentation, which gives it a subtle, sweet edge and smooth 5% abv.

Deep purple color, almost black with a small light tan head. Aroma is sweet with a hint of cola. Flavor starts sweet followed by a light black coffee bitterness and a touch of cola with a quick dry finish. Thin bodied with a watery texture and lively carbonation.

Draft. Pours a red darker than a black steer’s touckus on a moonless night. Aroma is heavy of malt and notes of spice. Extremely smooth palate washes the tounge with a complex variety of flavours. Roasted barely, butterscotch, pepper, and a fast disolving bitter finish. True to japanese style of finishing quickly with little or no aftertaste.

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A red-brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with light roasted notes and a dry slightly bitter end, but the body is thin. A nice Schwarzbier.
