Bottle from Setagaya Summer Festival 2015. Pours darker amber, almost brown. Nice and persistent foam head. Aroma is full of toffee, darker malts, bit of caramel. Actually smells for me more like a brown ale than an altbier. Taste has surprisingly a lot of body, nice malt caramel. Aftertaste sort of disappears and does not carry on as well as everything else did in the beginning but still, solid beer!

(Bottle) Clear brown with short lived loose cola-like head. Subtle and quite pleasant aroma - toasty, caramel, hints of cardboard. Light body, decent carbonation. Taste is toffee with some darker toasty notes and some, slightly harsh, bitterness. Pretty acceptable beer.

Bottle. Brown with a frothy beige head. Aroma of toasty caramel and spices. Smooth, medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Sweet and quite chocolatey with some bread. Low bitterness with a very little pepper at the end. Pleasant enough.

Bottle direct from the brewery as part of a 1000 yen set. It pours a clear ruby brown with a thick fizzy beige head that leaves no lacing behind. This beer was a bit of a gusher when opened. A nice nutty aroma with a dash of chalkiness & toffee. Smooth medium-full bodied with a malt forward flavor of toasted oats, graham, crackers, light caramel & nuts. Actually better than I expected, then again after that terrible Tsumagoi beer this one shines in comparison!

Bottle. Very dark brown with orange tints. Dark for an alt, but with a nice, thick head. Aroma of caramel malts and minerals, some grass. Nicely malty but a bit dry. Appetizing. Nice rich caramel malt flavor, some minerals and metal, and just a touch of unwanted vegatables, though after their last two infected messes, this comes across as a godsend. Slightly sweet, but with an earthy and dry finish. More like a brown ale. Decent. Wow, they can do something nice.
