Sumidagawa - Porter

Sumidagawa (Asahi) - Porter - Tokyo - ? ABV - Japanese Pint - @ The Dry Dock:
Taste: Roasted coffee, bitter, minimal smokiness, chocolate hints, some malt, less hops, not very sweet either- though some caramel in the background.
Smell: Faint nose, some coffee, toffee, and roasted malts.
Look: Dark brown, like black coffee, big stained head, strong lace.Verdict: This is more similar to a stout than a porter; that being said this is a decent beer but ultimately I could never fully recommend it for two reasons; first there are better porters and stouts out there; and second this brewery is a subsidiary of Asahi.
