リアル インペリアルスタウト イチローズモルトバーボン樽1年熟成

貴重な「イチローズ・モルト」のウィスキー樽で10ヶ月。じっくりゆっくり低温熟成させた、バレルエイジドビール。時を経て、樽香と原種由来のフレーバーがビールに移り、さまざまな要素が複雑に絡み合って生まれる、ビールの枠を超えたビールです。ロースト麦芽のチョコレートやコーヒーのようなアロマに樽由来のスモーキー且つバニラのような複雑でユニークな香味。時間が織りなす芳醇で奥深いビール、じっくりお楽しみください。

Aged slowly for 10 months at low temperatures in rare Ichiro’s Malt whisky barrels, this stout pushes the boundaries of beer. Roasted malt brings notes of dark chocolate and coffee, while the barrel adds hints of smoky vanilla, creating a deeply satisfying, full-bodied brew. Take your time and savor its complexity.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Blue session), pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry roasted malt, wood, and a touch of bourbon. Flavour has harsh wood, roasted malt, and a touch of bourbon. Very harsh, burnt, and woody. It’s alright.

On tap at MBCC 2025, blue session. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Bready malts, crusts, fairly gentle barrels on the nose. Flavour has roasted malts, thin body, very little barrel. Not good.
