Suntory Caramel Brown, 5%abv

I bought this at a Maruetsu Petit in Tokyo for ¥129 about 35 minutes ago. I paired this with a ¥105 pseudo-fried chicken sandwich. The writing on the can says "Mellow sweet aroma with rich flavor. Enjoy the rich moment of winter." Okay. I'm guessing this product is a seasonal offering from Suntory. It poured a amber brown hue with copious fine bubbles producing a thick pillowy head. The nose is hoppy, hints of metal, and molasses. The taste is nearly exactly as the nose except the metal wasn't noticeable. There is a satisfying linger of hop bitterness. The mouthfeel was thin and highly carbonated. Overall I felt this product to be better than the average Japanese brew thanks in large part to the hop presence. As far as I know the Suntory Caramel Brown is not exported outside of Japan.
