Can. Deep copper to amber. Medium-sized head, lasting quite long before moving towards lacing. Good malt aroma, though hops seems to dominate, not cascade, fuggles, I think. It is slightly fruity tasting, with quite a bit of caramel. Butterscotch or maybe honey? Rich malt, more roasted tasting. Stronger—good alcohol taste. Dark or dried fruit flavors, very strong bitterness, but not citrus. British, old fashioned, serious. Finish is intensely bitter and long lasting. Pretty light body for a strong tasty beer. Excellent, very complex and interesting.

Last japanese beer provided by daijokey at JoeMcPhee’s for CaptainCougar comes to NY. Notes were very short and messy by this point (also could not find the damn beer). Aroma is musky-sticky syruppy sweet hops. Taste is grassy hops with some sweetness. Decent stuff, served in a can.

Deep amber color, cotton candy, caramel, strawberries, cherries in the nose. Thick caramelly mouth. Med-full bodied. slightly hoppy dry hoppy finish with a touch of brandy. Not enough hops in there for me.
