Had a pint of this from the hand-pump cask at the Baird Beer Harajuku Taproom in Harajuku, Tokyo. Poured a chocolatey dark brown with very little head on top. Down the list, this is a wonderful brew... not overpowering in the chocolate area, but present and bitter/sweet. Thick mouthfeel that does not leave any excess gas and goes down smoothly with a bit of the chocolate aftertaste. Pleasant scent of bitter chocolate remains throughout its life. I had this as an after-dinner dessert beer, and I think it was a wise choice as it might overpower most types of food (unless it is a dark meat such as lamb or others). This is exclusive to the Harajuku Taproom, so if you are in the area, stop in and try this! Highly recommended!
