漆黒 -Shikokku-
Like all beers from the Japanese brewery COEDO, their dark lager Shikokku is award-winning. It has won numerous international awards and brought the brewery worldwide reputation. We are proud to be the exclusive partner and general importer of this exceptional beer brand!
The Japanese term stands for the pitch-black color of onyx - a stone that is said to have miraculous, powerful powers. In spiritual circles, onyx is considered a warrior stone with protective effects. It calms and combats fear. With their onyx-colored beer, COEDO proudly faces international competition in the fight for the best dark beer in the world.
As expected, Shikokku comes in a deep black mahogany tone and presents itself with a foam head that is reminiscent of black Earl Grey. The rich, complex scent of fresh hops pampers the nose and pairs with the smoky-caramel notes of roasted malt and a lovely note of coffee. Eight different malts are used when brewing this masterpiece and ensure the wonderfully mystical color and full-bodied malt character. Shikokku enchants in taste with dark notes of coffee, dark chocolate and caramel. The lager finishes in a crisp dry finish and is cleverly balanced. Subtly composed bitterness meets sweet malt notes, a surprisingly lively carbon dioxide underlines the play of aromas.
An excellent dark lager. Highly Recommended!
