Sapporo Premium Black
Sapporo's first dark beer is a deep black lager with a creamy head, brewed from roasted dark malts with a restrained hop charge. The roast brings notes of coffee and dark chocolate, backed by caramel, toast and a sweet, rounded malt fullness. Despite the colour the body stays fairly light, and the finish turns clean and crisp with a light roasted bitterness and a faint hop spice.
