The former is Sapporo ’ s first dark beer , which aims to be bold and flavourful , yet retaining the smooth and crisp texture of the classic Sapporo . It is crafted with roasted dark malts and a refined hop bitterness that is complemented by a sweet , round fullness , and distinct coffee and
chocolate flavours .
The latter , perhaps , needs no introduction as it is the flagship offering by Sapporo ; it comes with a crisp , refined flavour and clean finish .
