6 To Go on tap at Craft Beer Base 3.8% It pours like a creamy stout with a thick light beige head on a pitch black body. The nose is bready pithy orange mixed with light coffee & acrid black patent malts. Med-light bodied which at 3.8% is no surprise. The taste is tangy bitter dark malts with a spritz of lemon. It’s an easy drinking session beer but I was expecting more, I’d guess it was served too cold but I gave it ample time to warm up. Maybe the contrast with the more flavorful Baird x Great Leap Blind Monk I was drinking side by side made this seem tame by comparison though it was a way better looking beer. It grows on you as you sip it but it is not Ushi-tora’s best.
