Dākumōdo is our take on a black Japanese-style rice lager that’s easy drinking yet focused on complex flavors. A blend of toasted & roasted malts provides a deep, jet-black color and light notes of espresso and bread crust, balanced with spicy, herbal Aramis hops added throughout the boil. Forbidden black rice, Okinawan Kokuto Black sugar and Black Dragon Pearl tea lighten the body and add notes of cocoa, caramelized sugar and molasses with a quick snap of tannin to balance the malty sweetness.
