Draught at the Nakameguro Taproom. Woody, coffee aroma, smoky with roasted malts. Great balance, with some sweetness. Undistinguished but decent stuff.

Draught at Baird Naka-Meguro Taproom. Very black. Heavy licorice and coffee aroma. Dryish with plenty of coffee. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel, tough a tad syrupy at times. Salty finish with almost aggressive tar.

Besides a slightly thin body this is a decent beer. A very hoppy stout, athough not overly so. Nothing too mind blowing but cetainly different

I found this much like the Shimaguni Stout, but with the hops cranked up. Very hoppy stout with a good roasted malt backbone. Very American. Still enjoyable, but would rather have the Shimaguni for balance.
