Tap at Cafe de Tete. Smoky and roasty, lots of yuzu, bubblegum, bit of belgian yeastiness, pretty full on. Milky coffee, chocolate, cream, perfume. Bit of a mix. Unsure how much I like it. Middling score as I'm really not sure.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a pitch black with almost no head. Funky Belgian yeast aromas all over the nose, with light roasted malt and cacao. Dry mouthfeel with a light, roasty body. Yuzu rushes in but isn’t overwhelming. Dry finish with a lingering yuzu juiciness.

huge roasted malt, coriander and Yuzu nose. The wit is really over powering but balances nicely with the stout. Smooth body.

Minoh’s Masaji Project beer this year was a Belgian Stout made with Yuzu. On tap it was listed as 5.5% but this bottle says 5%. In the pint glass it gives me roasty coffee & cacao notes, some spices(cinnamon, vanilla) with an underlying yuzu aroma. While in a snifter it gives more of a smooth cacao & yuzu aroma. Either way it smells great! This beer is smooth & full bodied while the taste is super yuzu, then chocolate & coffee but the yuzu really lingers. Kind of overpowers the beer, if it sat 6 months it’d probably mellow out & really hit it’s peak. ---Feb 2014---on tap at Beer Belly Temma, it has mellowed out quite a bit, you still get lots of yuzu in the nose but also some dark malt caracteristics. The taste is coffee & yuzu which isn’t so overpowering.

Tap at Tenma BB. Lovely Belgian stout nose: orange chocolate, coriander, coffee, licorice. Just right. Shiny pitch black with a low, fine head. Lovely. Tons of yuzu flavor that overwhelms the rest. Yuzu is overdone. There is then some coffee and spice and just a touch of chocolate where you want more of that. A bit think in body. Still good, but can’t live up to that great nose.
