Yebisu Black Beer from Sapporo Breweries, Ltd.
Rating: B-
Purchased at a Shanghai supermarket. I was impressed with Yebisu's "The Hop" and thought I would give this "black beer" a shot.
Appearance: Pleasant dark leather in color, clear with red tints. One finger khaki head with modest retention.
Smell: Aroma is less roast, and more vegetable. Faint hints of coffee.
Taste: Flavor is better than the aroma, reminiscent of a schwarzbier. Caramel, roast, and coffee but lager-clean.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability: Medium body, mild carbonation. On the whole, not nearly as good a beer as The Hop. Moderately drinkable.
