Bottle from Johns. Pours a murky dark brown hue with a small white head. A big sweet barrel, clear shochu. Oxidation, sweetness, dusty tobacco, cherries, sweet barrel. Sour cherries too. OK. Not quite enough to hold up to the barrel.

330mL bottle, pours a thin dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is oxidized as hell, with lots of rice wine, alcohol, and paint thinner. Flavour is boozy and hot, with lots of rice wine, alcohol, and oxidation. How this is a stout, I don't know. A boozy, cheap rice beer of some sort. Not great.

Medium brown. No head. Interesting sochu nose with a lot of sweet sherry, maybe some nuts. Sweet, the sherry is happening a lot here, light barrel. Light body, quite drinkable, but the barrel is really dominant, kind of takes over the whole thing.
