Nice. Light smokiness about it somehow. Got the malty sweetness thing going on of course.

Can from the brewery mail order. Malty nose, caramel, some citrus, fruity esters. Very cloudy, almost muddy, dark brown. Flavor is malty caramel, chocolate, a touch vegetal, and a very bitter finish. Nice enough but slightly flawed and unbalanced.

808 Brewery ESB 5.5% A style you don’t see enough of in Japan this ruddy orange-brown brew is topped with a tan head and has a toffee biscuit aroma. Medium bodied but very crisp and clean with caramel, biscuit and a bitter tobacco leaf in the finish. The lingering bitterness might be a touch to high but a really really solid beer.
