For this beer we collaborated with our good friends at Farthest Star Sake (New England’s only sake brewer). Dark mahogany hue with an off white head. Roasty, malty, and light caramel notes on the nose. Notes of espresso and chestnut. Medium light body with flavors of fresh medium roast coffee, light toffee, and mild nutty character. Finished smooth, balanced, and clean.

Brewery draught, 10/16/25.
Clear, dark auburn-dark chestnut. Large, dark beige head, good retention.
Dark roasted coffee and chestnut, I suppose, the chestnut being the koji, not that you'd know that blind. Clean, earthy, a bit chocolatey.
Nutty, earthy, koji-like with cacao notes and roasted chestnut. Medium-light body with good depth and attenuation. Low but ample bitterness. I've never tasted raw koji, but I can imagine this represents it well here. Nice that it's not too sweet on account of the rice sugar. Clean, interesting, nutty, complex finish.
