Can from Taniguchi. Last Year, Brighton Bier did a collaboration with Minoh and now they’re in Japan! This is their Downtown Charlie Brown.

Listed as an American Brown Stout that’s dry-hopped with HBC 431. It’s a beautiful dark brown with an impressive head of beige foam that supports a chocolate roastedness as well as floral/piney hops.

6%medium bodied and smooth this is a chocolatey hoppy stout. Black ipa-ish but much more on the brown stout spectrum. I like this more than the Shiga Kogen IBrA but they’re clearly cousins in spirit at the least.

Draft - Nice hoppiness with some nutty notes. Jet brown black with a decent brown head. Dark roasty bitterness, hops are very prominent and bitterness is nice. Decent.
