Hop BroNoroshi Brewing in Otakanomori, Nagareyama, Chiba, has released Noroshi India Black Saison. Dark and dry—now that is intriguing!
MugiWhat?! A dark beer that is also a saison? Dark beer and saison have not even met in my head yet!
Hop BroIt starts with a classic American Black IPA recipe, then layers roasted malt, American hops, and saison yeast into an unconventional black saison.
MugiWhat exactly is saison yeast? Does beer have a dedicated yeast specialist like bread does?
Hop BroPretty much! Saison yeast brings spicy notes and a crisp finish during fermentation. It is the commander of the dry finish.
MugiWow! It looks like a dark beer but drinks bright and spicy? Dark yet easy-drinking is an unfairly great twist!
Hop BroThe hop bill is Simcoe, Centennial, CTZ, and Amarillo, delivering classic American hop aromatics like pine, citrus, and grapefruit.

A new black saison from Noroshi Brewery
Noroshi Brewery has announced the release of Noroshi India Black Saison, a new beer brewed in Nagareyama, Chiba. It follows the well-received India Black Lager, released around winter, while taking the concept in a different direction rather than reproducing the earlier beer.
The recipe is based on a classic American Black IPA. Simcoe, Centennial, CTZ, and Amarillo hops bring notes of pine, citrus, and grapefruit. Carafa Special III and Black Malt contribute the beer’s dark color and roasted malt aroma.
Dark in appearance, dry and lively on the palate
India Black Saison is listed at 6.5% ABV with 2.5 volumes of carbonation. Its aroma layers the roastiness of dark malt with classic American hop character, while saison yeast adds a spicy, dry fermentation profile.
Despite its nearly black appearance, the beer is designed to drink lightly and finish dry. The alcohol level provides substance, but the roast, hop character, and saison fermentation remain clearly defined without making the beer feel heavy.
The result sits between several familiar categories: black beer, American IPA, and saison. At Noroshi Brewery in the Nagareyama-Otakanomori area, beer drinkers can look forward to exploring how these elements meet in a single glass.
