I retasted this beer today (21 Jan 03) and have to say that I raised the taste from 2.0 to 3.0 and the smell from 2.0 to 3.0. I the aroma and flavor remained rather weak, but amazingly like coffee. A light beer that has a distinct but light coffee palate.
This is by no means a black beer as the can claims, this is a darkish beer. It tastes exactly like the Ichiban shibori, but with black dye in it. Extremely low bitterness. No fruit. No hop flavor. This was tap water with bubbles and food coloring. Despite its lack of character, it went down quickly and I was reaching for another. I must have been bored.
