UPDATED: APR 12, 2007 Bottle with a label in pure kanji and katagana saying "Oshima Nagasaki Dunkel". Very dark brown colour. Aroma of roasted malts and some caramel. Flavour has some good dark caramel sweetness and roastiness. Bitter finish. Average aftertaste of the roasted malts and caramel. A good dunkel! "Nagasaki Oshima Jozo Kabushiki Kaisha" means: Oshima Island Hotel & Beer Restaurant.

Bottle. Rather unimpressive, faint nose of chocolate brownie, grains, a hint of orange, and spice. Too faint. Deep amber-orange color. Rather nicely balanced flavor for a dunkel, with chocolate, caramel, grainy and malty and also with decent bitterness. Body is light and a bit too fizzy. Likeable.

Bottle. Yellow copper with a medium yellowish head. Good caramel aroma. caramel flavours, sweet, but not excessively. Some roast. A nice dunkel.
