Bottle. Best Japanese beer I’ve had to date. Slightly sweet flavor. It has a pleasant spicy aroma that smells just like the description "Orange Peel, Coriander, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, and Vanilla Beans". Highly recommended.

330ml bottle at 8%, as Hitachino Nest Commemorative Ale. Hazy amber with a beige head, dissipating. Aroma of bready malts, spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, fruits. Taste of bready malt, sweet, vanilla, spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, ripe fruits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Interesting beer, sweet and spicy isn't really my thing though as I felt the flavours clashed a bit but seemed fairly good I suppose.

Thin off white head soon left a cover on a hazy, walnut coloured, slightly effervescent body. Barley Wine aroma with malt, hops, treacle & honey. Medium to full bodied, thick & cloying on the palate with minimal carbonation. Heavily spiced tastes of Christmas spice, nutmeg, over ripe grape, cinamon & honey.

330 ml bottle. (Commemorative Ale, 8% ABV) Pours a hazy orange with an average, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet, spicy aroma of nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, yeast, orange and malt. Sweet, creamy orange flavour with subtle, spicy notes of coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, yeast, alcohol and a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Quite unique.

Bernsteinfarben im Glas, Schaum perlt gleich weg. Schönes Malzaroma, leicht fruchtig. Geschmacklich sehr intensiv, alkoholisch, im Abgang leicht Zimt. Respekt, Japan kann Bier brauen.
