Chocolate Stout | Rich and full-bodied, a bitter beer for adults

Bitter chocolate aroma comes from roasted malt

Although the name contains "chocolate," it uses absolutely no cacao! This is a rich dark beer made with "chocolate malt," a roasted malt with a bitter chocolate-like flavor.

Also known as Japan's original chocolate beer, it is brewed using traditional methods without any added flavorings or auxiliary ingredients, allowing you to enjoy the high-quality flavor unique to this process.

We have selected the rich "Chocolate Stout" and the subtly sweet "Milk Chocolate Stout."

〈Chocolate Stout〉

Stout means "strong" or "robust" in English. As the name suggests, it offers a rich body and a pleasantly bitter, aromatic flavor. It also has a solid alcohol content of 6.5%.

It pairs wonderfully with richly flavored meat dishes and cheeses, without being overwhelmed by their taste.

If you love high-cacao chocolate, this is a bottle you absolutely must try.

〈Milk Chocolate Stout〉

This is an adult dessert beer that adds a hint of sweetness from "lactose" to the rich bitterness of Chocolate Stout. It does not contain milk. (In the UK, the term "milk" is no longer used due to potential misunderstanding.)

It pairs exceptionally well with desserts like fruit tarts and cheesecakes. We encourage you to compare it with the Chocolate Stout.

It has a slightly lighter alcohol content of 5%.

Best enjoyed 30 minutes after taking it out of the refrigerator

To fully appreciate the deep flavor of Chocolate Stout, a slightly higher temperature is recommended. After taking it out of the refrigerator, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Allowing it to mature slightly in the bottle is said to deepen its flavor even further. Please take your time to savor its unique, rich body and aroma.
