Sapporo Black Sgl

The historic brewing masters at Sapporo are showing off their dark side with the brilliantly executed Sapporo Black. As the legendary Japanese brewery’s premier dark lager, this is an absolute masterclass in crisp, cold fermented balance. It pours a striking, deep roasted coffee brown with a remarkably clean, frothy off white head. On the nose, it hits you with a highly refined, delicate aromatic payload of lightly roasted malts, dark cacao nibs, and a faint whisper of herbal hops. The palate is beautifully light-to-medium bodied and incredibly smooth, effortlessly layering comforting notes of toasted bread crust, bitter dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet molasses over a crisp lager foundation. Finishing remarkably clean, snappy, and bone dry without a hint of heavy cloying sweetness, it is a world-class, highly crushable dark beer built beautifully for pairing with smoky yakitori or rich tonkotsu ramen.
