Soft and supple - though not a great deal going on. Smooth - low carbonation. Thin to medium body. Some berry, a little chocolate and a slight roast. Solid drinking, but a bit too quaint for the style.

Bottle from Kyoto station. Pours out a crisp brown topped with a small cream tan head. Aroma is of light sweetness, dark fruits, and some rich malts. Taste of pit fruit, light bitter sweet chocolate.

Draught at Q-Brick as W-Chocolate Bock. Think it is the same one. Rich munich malt aroma with chocolate and caramel. Fragrant and nice. Black with a thin, fine, head. Slightly smoky flavor of chocolate and caramel with some wood. Very rich malt, yet not cloying in the least. Very nice bock indeed.

med dark color, very subtle chocolately nose with a touch if bananas and cherries. Very malty, rich, med full body, low hops, very subtle chocolate flavors. Lingering chocolate finish.
