Tap at Hacchio. Aged for 1 year in barrel, then 4 years in the keg. Nose is licorice, coffee, dark chocolate. Not much barrel or whiskey. Flavor is creamy and chocolaty, cafe au lait, rich deep malts. Not much whiskey left. Rich nice flavor after a slightly disappointing nose. Too cold, but soft carbonation with decent. Probably past its prime but nice.

Tap @ BeerFes Yokohama, September 17th, 2017. Pours nice dark brown, bit of beige foam. Not very carbonated. Lots of roast malts and coffee in the nose, liqurice and soy. Lots of umami. Light vanilla in the nose goes few degrees up in taste, roast bitterness, some bitter chocolate and coffee. Spicy and booze well hidden. Feels light and drinkable. Chocolate in steroids, nice. One of the best imperial BA stouts from Japan, world class.
