Asahi Premium Black
Asahi Brewery
5% ABV

Asahi's venture in the world of darker more complex beers.  Using roasted barley malt, rice and maize to create this beer.

Review

The beer pours an almost black clear liquid with a just off white head.  On the nose you get roasted coffee immediately before a mellowing sweeter aroma is presented.  On tasting you get bags of the roasted malts along with a little bitterness on the back.  The beer has prefect weight to add to this terrific beer.

Great amounts of malt flavour balanced with a medium palate - a great beer.
