Bottle, from Mitsuwa Market, Edgewater NJ. Pours cloudy dark brown with faint red highlights, small frothy beige head, caramel-dark roasted malt aroma, medium carbonation, bitter dark roasted malt taste with distinct oyster flavor, smooth body, long bitter finish. I did like it despite the bitterness.

Strong caramel maltiness, very strong. But little touch of spice too. Nice! Surprisingly satisfying

330ml bottle from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. The aroma is banana, bubble gum. The flavour is herbal, crushed banana, with a smooth, earthy, herbal, yeasty banana, light spicy clove palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Nice enough, but doesn’t stand out from the crowd.

330ml bottle at School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt and herbs. The flavour is light bitter, with a crisp, big herbal, yeasty, earthy, mineral, light chamomile, light hop palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. What did I just drink? Actually, not the worst beer I’ve ever had by a long way and I’d have another. Very unusual. --- Beer merged from original tick of Iwate Kura Naturally Fermented Beer (自然発酵ビール) on 03 Dec 2022 at 14:17 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5.
