Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks beerandbeyond. Cloudy orange. Sansho, smokiness, spiciness, yuzu, sweet, candy, caramel, dark fruits, yeast, medium-bodied. Not my thing.

330 ml bottle from Yamaichi. Huge, spicy, cake-like nose with sansho, caramel, coriander, citrus fruits. Slightly smoky malt. Not ce but very spicy. Deep orange amber with a lovely, abt-like head. Flavor is sansho, on top of lovely caramel malts and Belgian yeast spice. Too much sansho for sure. Nice citrus, plus booze. Should be better with age. The sansho is way, way over the top and kinda ruins it. At least it’s not infected.
