🍺 A clean, easy-drinking dark lager with one of Japan’s most recognisable anime collaborations behind it. This Evangelion limited edition release takes Sapporo Draft Black’s smooth roasted profile and wraps it in collectible packaging that stands out instantly on shelf.
Brewed by Sapporo Breweries, Sapporo Draft Black is a Japanese-style black lager built more around balance and drinkability than heavy stout richness. The Evangelion collaboration packaging gives it collector appeal while keeping the beer itself approachable and sessionable.
The palate is smooth and lightly roasted, with subtle coffee bitterness, soft caramel malt and a crisp lager finish that keeps it refreshing rather than heavy. It drinks lighter than many dark beers, making it an easy crossover for standard lager drinkers wanting something with more depth.
At 5% ABV, it sits in a familiar, accessible range — easy to bring to gatherings, anime nights or casual drinking sessions without feeling overly rich or intense.
