So where do I begin a post like this? It is the end of an era. The reign of Suntory's The Premium Malts Black has come to an end. Now just to be fair, we didn't but the black up against some super vintage micro brew that it just couldn't compare to. No, we put it in a head to head match against Kirin's Muroka Beer Chocolate. And the Black Malts came in second. Beer Chocolate is good. Really good. Not to say that we won't keep drinking the fire out of the Black Malts...we sure will. Beer Chocolate is only going to be around for about three months, so get it while it lasts.

Just stumbled across your blog in a search for the Muroka...beer advocate doesn't even have it up yet. Just picked one up at a 7-11 and am pumped to try it. Awesome blog, love the idea. Japan really has a great selection of beers. I love it here.
Good taimingu. Black has already started disappearing out of the conbini's around Nagoya.
By the way, the word I must type in below to verify to the computer that I'm not a computer is 'chodous'. As in, "The taste of Black Malts is swell, but Super-Dry is simply chodous."
