Thin body. Nice flavour - toasted malt, a hint of cocoa, and a bitter coffee finish. Not bad... RichardGretton (3143), Leicestershire, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 8, 2004 Very dark beer with a strong head and a burn’t slightly aniseed and banana aroma. The flavour is mild and sweet with hints of banana. Overall not a bad beer but could have been a lot better. FtWorthBrew (105), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2004 very nice Japanese Black. Reminded me of an Irish beer but there was something missing; tasted one demensional. An excellent choice if you only have Japanese beers on the menu. screwball (796), Motala, Sweden

Dark amber. Light roasty malty, toffee flavour, hints of butteriness. Somewhat fruity. An average schwarzbier, consumed by Tokyo biznizmen? rlgk (3377), Vårgårda, Sweden

Sweet malt, brown sugar and coffee aroma. Roasted malt flavor. Fruit, citrus and slight coffee notes. Very thin in the finish. Still a nice and easy beer. aceofhearts (1375), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2004 Bottle. Not too bad for an Asian beer. Dark, opaque, slightly mahogany pour. Grapes, raisin, toffee in the flavor; dry throughout. A little bit resinous; nice dark malts. This will prolly be a staple for me if I move to Japan...
