There is no end to the variety of beers available to connoisseurs, but perhaps that variety should have ended right before someone thought to make this blend. It’s a beer made from coffee beans picked out of elephant poop and was produced in very limited quantities on April Fool’s Day in Kanagawa, Japan by Sankt Gallen. It was real and sold out within minutes but I’d say the joke was on anyone crazy enough to drink the stuff. On that note, RocketNews24 managed to snag a bottle and had this to say about the taste:
I cracked open a bottle of Un, Kono Kuro to give it a try. I sniffed at the bottle’s neck and my nostrils were greeted with a faint bitter aroma, a little like roasted coffee just giving me a sense of what’s to come.
When I poured it into a glass the coffee-like aroma continued to build it was relaxing like an easy Sunday morning. After taking my first sip there was an initial bitterness that got washed over by a wave of sweetness. Following that, a mellow body rolled in and spread out through my mouth. [...]
Usually people talk about aftertaste when drinking beer but with Un, Kono Kuro the word afterglow is much more appropriate.
After downing the last drop, slowly rising from my throat and mouth was that afterglow. The combination of bitter and sweet stayed fresh and lingered in my head. It was a familiar aroma that accompanied me through the entire beer.

It’s every guy’s dream to have an armchair that provides him with one of the most essential things in life: beer. That dream is now fulfilled with the announcement that GrinOn will be delivering home units of the Bottoms Up beer dispensing system by March 7th, 2013, provided their production schedules go according to plan.
The system has been around for years, but it took them a while to figure out how to package all that awesomeness into a unit that you can set up in your very own home. It looks like they finally succeeded–but be warned, it’s not going to come cheap.
