From a 440ml can on 28/6/2023. Pours a clear deep amber with a smallish head. Smells typically Belgian, yeasty, malty with caramel and dried fruit. Medium sweet on the sip, with more caramel and dried fruit (raisins dates). I'd be lying if I said I could detect the Adzuki Beans or Kinako as I don't know what they are, but there's definitely a nuttiness that's referenced on the can. Finishes with a light fruity bitterness. The palate is slick, the carbonation moderate. Really well done. Nicely balanced, tasty and true to style, even with the Japanese twist. And the can art and concept is superb.

Can. Clear brown with a pale beige head. Aroma of yeasty dough, dried and stewed fruit. Maybe a little green nuttiness but nothing obviously unusual. Full bodied. Fairly sweet but with firm balancing bitterness. Some stewed and more dried fruit, hints of nuts and salt. I like that it feels big without overt alcohol or excessive sweetness and that the bitterness is quite bold.
