Tap at iBrew, a while ago. Dark, fairly thick, lots of coffee, but not sure I get the latte thing. Aroma is roast, coffee, soy sauce. Taste too is a bit saucy. Not as dry as I might have expected. Feels a bit juicy, brown sauce fruitiness. Interesting, but misnamed I feel.

On tap at CBM Koenji. Deep brown with a tan, soapy head. Big aromas of espresso and milk chocolate with vanilla, star anise and prune on the nose. Taste is more of the same with a nice roasted espresso bitterness that stands out front. The chocolate kind of disappears, but the fruit and vanilla stay. Wonderfully sweet with a rich and creamy (oatmeal) mouthfeel/body. Wonderful stuff. Great finish with a touch of sourness also present.

Very dark brown color. Dark brown head. Beautiful nose of liquorice, dark chocolate, dark fruit, molasses and charcoal. Body isn’t quite big enough, a bit thin and too sweet (though it is a sweet stout so that is understandable). Intense molasses, dark chocolate and dark fruit in the mouth, though not perfectly balanced. Still nice lingering molasses and licorice finish. Decent stuff.

I have tried an 8% stout from these guys that was called an Imperial Latte Stout but I am not sure if it is the same as what is in this 7% can. Here’s what I had to say about that tap at Bungalow: Imperial latte stout - sweet creamy coffee aroma. Medium bodied, coffee & creamy fairly smooth bodied. Now on to the can, served in a pint glass it pours out reddish-brown like a cola and settles into the glass a dark brown verging on black with a filmy tan foam that leaves a whispy skim along the beer’s surface. It has a creamy roasty coffee-ish aroma. The carbonation seems sharper from the can but the mouthfeel is overall very smooth. The taste is roast coffee with a generous helping of cream and sugar. This is a damn good sweet stout and by far the best of the three. It’s well balanced, a bit sweet but not cloying, roasty without being acrid and has a great sweet creamy coffee flavor. Wonderful, I am guessing that these are the same beers but they just haven’t standardized their naming yet.

Tap at Eni-bru. Pretty black color with nice lacing. soft, milky nose, vanilla, some coffee, some wood. Fruity, rather sweet flavor, nice bit of brown sugar and hop. Solid. Surprisingly good from a rather new brewery.
