Bottle from the brewery. Amber-orange color, tall head. Rich, malty aroma, biscuits and cookies. Sweet and slightly spicy, with soft, rich, malts, and cherries, bread or cake. Hot and brandy-like. Big, full mouth that is super smooth. Alcohol is a bit too noticeable, so I would like to try it in a few months. Really an amber bock. Big, rich malt with nice fruitiness and a good overall balance. Another strong lager winner from Yokohama!
