Black beers made in Asia have a well deserved reputation for tasting terrible and having alcohol levels so high that even Chang drinkers think twice before opening a can.
But Asahi Black is an exception and for once the description on the can is very accurate: “Asahi’s original brew” has a “rich and smooth taste” that is “fine taste beer” for you to “relax and enjoy”!
Brewed in Osaka by Asahi Breweries Limited it is an original Munich-type beer brewed using their pure cultured yeast and Asahi’s advanced brewing techniques that have made their other beers so popular in Japan and many overseas markets.
Asahi Black is a highly drinkable beer. It truly is a rich and smooth brew and at 5% it’s one of the few black beers in Asia with an alcohol level that doesn’t overpower the taste (or the drinker).
This beer is well recommended.

Hey,
I love Asian beers, but there's a bunch. To compare them I go to this beer comparison: http://beer.findthebest.com/. It allows you to compare beers from around the world by region, ABV, calories, and type. You can look through the entire list or compare them head to head like this: Bud Light vs. Coors Light vs. Miller Light. You can also hit Visualize in the top left corner to view graphs of the data. You can embed these charts to supplement the reviews on your site.
Let me know if you find it useful, would like to blog about it, or how you think it could be improved.
Thanks,
Atanas
