It has a toffee brown, dark leather colour and is slightly fizzy with a gorgeous ale smell and hints of toffee on the nose.
In the mouth it has a smooth, subtle hoppy flavour and is medium bodied.
It's bitter and dry and there are toffee notes on the palate and also hints of caramel.
This is quite a flavoursome ale and overall...Excellent.
I would have liked to have bought more but unfortunately it's pretty expensive (in Japan at least) at a fraction under ￥1000 ($10) for 500ml bottle (Japanese beers for example cost about ￥350 for the same).
However all the profits go to the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation so at least the money goes to a good cause.
