Asahi Black

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black color with excellent clarity and a modest tan head that dissipates steadily. Fine carbonation creates a lively visual presentation despite the dark malt base, with good retention indicating proper conditioning.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose of roasted malts with prominent coffee and cocoa notes that don't overwhelm. Light breadiness and toasted grain character emerge, while the absence of sweetness in the aroma demonstrates the crisp brewing philosophy applied to this darker style.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth roasted malt character and medium body, delivering subtle coffee and chocolate notes without cloying sweetness. Bitterness is restrained at 20 IBUs, allowing the malt complexity to shine while maintaining a clean, dry finish that prevents heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is remarkably clean and crisp, with a dry aftertaste that lingers briefly without any residual sweetness. True to the Super Dry philosophy, it leaves the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip rather than lingering heavily.
