Tap at Popeye. Dark brown/black colour with very small beige thin bubbly head. Aroma is malty, oats, bit of chocolate and milky coffee. Maybe a touch of liquorice. Taste is roasted malt, bit of chocolate and a touch of coffee in the bitter finish. Quite smooth and quite nice. Not mind blowing, but would certainly gladly have another.

Draught @ Bakushu Club Popeye, Tokyo as ”Popeye Black Bitter”. Rated on 5.9.2011
Aroma has vanilla, slight roastiness and toffee. Flavour is roasted, a bit ashy and has goldings-like toffee. Dryish palate. Good but a bit ashy, couldn’t really feel all the IBUs here.

Draught at Popeye. Black with lace. Aroma of coffee, hops, grains. Clean, roasty flavor of sweet malt, coffee, chocolate, great hops. Nice, though not all that exciting. Very light, and really more of a black "bitter" than IPA.
