Tokyo Black Porter


You know us Good Beer Country Boys can't leave the night with an article about crappy beer. I won't try and water down what Nate wrote, those beers were crappy--and we can brew up stuff better than that in a tiny apartment here in Japan with limited supplies. 'Nuff said.
Tokyo Black however, is great beer. It is made by Nagano's Yo-Ho Brewing (a pirate's life for me!), and Tokyo Black is only one of many great beers that they make. I am not going to talk about the company or all of their beers, but Tokyo Black is worth your money and your time. It is a great porter with tons of toasted malt taste. Out of the can it is steller. On a Real Ale tap, it's enough to make your toungue slap your brains out. If you can find it, drink it. If you drink one, drink another. If you drink two, send the third one to me. I will drink it. And I will thank you.
This is GREAT BEER IN JAPAN. DRINK IT.

It was on tap in Towzer. Very good, it was too.
Yep, one of my fav Yohos too. I also highly recommend Yoho National Trust porter. Even better then Tokyo black. Arrghh!!!!

No doubt, I gave Towzer a mediocre review...but you guys have made me rethink my opinion...time to hit it up again for try #2!
