Kaki No Stout / Oyster Stout from Sekinoichi Shuzo / Iwate Kura Beer

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
@ GJBF 2007. Pours pretty dark with a thin tan head. Roasted malts, milk chocolate and vanilla fill the nose. Flavor is a stronger version of the aroma with the milk chocolate really showing its presence. roasted malts and some caramel as well. Creamy. Don’t understand the low ratings, I enjoyed it.

@ GJBF. Spices, fruit, floral and yeast in the aroma. Similar flavor, but had a little alcohol and a slightly bitter finish. A good wheat, though a more pronounced flavor would be nice. Refreshing.

Draught at Popeyes. Poured reddish gold with a small tan head. Aroma of citrus and pine hops. Flavor is earthy/pine hops, citrus and some fruit. Finishes dry and bitter. A very nice IPA.

Small offwhite creamy head. Hazy amber body. Very faint hop aroma. Soft sweetish bitter citrus and flower taste. Honey and strawberry notes. Dry citric hop aftertaste. Nice understated IPA. (0.25l on tap at Popeye.)

This beer looked so lame when it was poured out of the tap. Dark golden color with virtually no head. It could have been any XYZ beer. However, that is where any mainstream comparison ends. Surpringly tempting nose with hints of floral and exotic fruits. The mouh has tinge of brandy and floral, but is well balanced. The finish is clean and freshing. Definetely one of the best, if not best American wheat I have had.

Mahogany red color with almost no nose. Malty body with caramel and raspberries, but very unbalanced. Dry boring finish. Pretty lame from a brewery that does decent stuff.

Light amber color, snappy citrusy hoppy nose with some earthy malts in the nose. Weak hoppy mouth and a weak bitterness. Pretty lame

I obviously differ with my Strong Ale Festival compardres. Black color, oysters, dark chocolate and a touch of snuff in the nose. Nice dark chocolate mouth that comes across as rich dark chocolate cake. A very smooth mouth, but lacking creaminess. Smooth dark chocolate, mildly bitter finish. Interesting.

Pitch black color. Light brown head. Toffee, caramel, nuts hide under the big dark chocolate nose. Nutty sweet, malty mouth that comes across like pouring just the right amount of frangelico into cold coffee. Sweet malty finish. Nice. First stout I would say that is specifically appropriate for Christmas.

Almost black. Aroma is rich and fruity - chocolate covered cherries, new suede jackets and a Luang Prabang-style coffee. Flavour is sweet, mocha-like, with only a light fruitiness. Heavy body, very smooth. Fairly simple, but tasty stuff.
