SHIKI BEER, a brewpub in Higashi-Mizuhodai, Fujimi City, Saitama, has started selling `Coffee Black` in bottles. In its Instagram post, the brewery says the beer is available first in bottle form, and whether it will make it onto tap will depend on how customers respond.

`Coffee Black` stands out as one of the darker beers in SHIKI BEER’s lineup. On Untappd, it is listed as a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, a style that suggests malt depth, Belgian yeast character, and the roasted, chocolate-adjacent notes many beer fans look for in a dark Belgian beer. It sounds like a beer to sip slowly rather than rush through.

SHIKI BEER is a brewpub, so the connection between brewing and serving is especially close. That makes releases like this feel immediate and local, with bottles offering one more way to enjoy the beer beyond the taproom. For drinkers who like Belgian-style dark beers with a calm, layered finish, `Coffee Black` is an easy one to keep an eye on.

If you visit SHIKI BEER, the first thing to check is the bottle release of `Coffee Black`. And if enough people keep ordering it, the tap line may follow.
