0,25 l bottle. Don’t really remember where did I get it, probably from Dogenzaka Shinanoya, a while ago. Pours hazy reddish copper, thin foam film that is completely gone in seconds. Aroma is rich, opulent, full of sweet caramel, fig fruits, sticky dates. Somehow appetising though, filling nostrils with satisfaction. Taste is also full, has fruits, dates, some sugary marmalade - but also dry hoppiness that succumbs into quite straightforward oak. Like chewing wood. Aftertaste is oak, mixed with some "old" sweetness. Quite kick-ass beer I would say, very different but immensely enjoyable.

250mL bottle, pours a very muddy, murky reddish brown with a miniscule head. Nose brings out notes of oxidation, liqueur, caramel and candied dark fruits -- so far seems identical to Red Horizon 2. Flavour is perhaps more robust and less cloying, with notes of candied fruits, caramel malts, alcohol and brown sugar. Rather sweet, but not cloying. Not sure what is different about this -- maybe more hops to balance, though I can't really tell. All in all, more drinkable than Red Horizon 2. Nice stuff in small amounts - thankfully this only comes in a small bottle, but the price they charge for this is ridiculous.

Head gone in secs, reduced to rim around brownish, unclear beer. Fruity nose, but as fruitsweets, bit artificial, oxydized too. In the Japanese mode, I’m thinking of their dried or preserved prunes. I blame the sake yeast. Alcohol, some fusels, yeasty and very fruity esters (plums, dried peach,...) and really sweet. Bit of liquorice, and faint, periferal (fruity) acidity. Long dry-bitterish, bit spicy finish; whilst in the aftertaste, the characteristic benzene flavour, hallmark of sake, appears. Very slick, oily feel; well-bodied; alcoholwarming. Certainly not bad - but I prefer more conventional beer yeasts, I’m afraid.

Bottle at home. The colour is deep amber with a small, off-white head that fades fast. Sweet aroma of caramel, leather, oak, alcohol and hops in the background. Sweet flavour as well with more sweet caramel, leather, oak and a strange cigarette and cardboard ending. Has a slick and silky mouth feel, and a medium bitterness. A sweet and interesting ale, but the flavour feels a bit unbalanced. Maybe over top.

Draft at Churchkey. Hazy amber color. Aroma of spiced caramel. Taste is similar; not nearly as sweet as the others in this series (all tasted side by side).

Bottle #04297, brewed 20.12.2011, bbe 20.12.2016. A reddish brown beer with a very weak and blond head. The nose is complex, unique adn interesting. Richness of malts, sweet fruits and caramell, melon, marshmellow, strawberries, riped bananas. Taste is quite sweet but it’s not bothering, caramel malts, melon, lots of unspecified fruits, some drying bitterness. Full bodied, low carbonation, not heavy. Sake yeast has made the work and the result is a unique fruitmix. Interesting and succesfully, fruitful and sweet beer.

God duft av frukter, krydder og noe alkohol. Dunkel rødbrun farge. Nesten ikke skum. God smak av frukter og med en liten skarp smak av alkohol i ettersmaken.
