Lovely. Soft smooth but milky, lots of coffee. Some fruitiness in the finish. Great stuff!

Interesting fruity and floral aroma. Definitely get the pickled sakura thing. Quite sharp. Bit too sharp in fact. Caramel maltiness there too but not wild about this to be honest.

2020 Autumn Tohoku Damashii collaboration, made this time at Iwate Kura. Tap at Malt Heads. Deep, hazy gold with a low, thick head. Rich malt nose, tropical, lemon, slightly oaky Sabro hops. Rich malt flavor, nice sweetness with bread and honey. Malt seems rather English as usual for them. Enjoyable and unique.

It was version 4, an imperial lager. Good little number. These guys make reliable, simple beer. Last night.

No idea where or when this rating is from, just discovered it. Smells like quatro! Blast from the past. Big passion fruit smell. Taste is a bit more restrained. More wheaty, but still fruity.

Keyaki. Didn't notice the Belgian part of the name but I was toasted and it sounds right from the other ratings. Light blond colour, bit cloudy, small white head. Aroma is light pumpkin, little bit spicy. Taste is interesting, very light on the pumpkin but it comes afterwards. Nice and grainy. Pretty subtle for a pumpkin beer and all the better for it. Crisp and refeshing.

Tap at Gar Eden. Dark brown not much head. 2012 edition. Aroma is chocolate, alcohol, lots of booze, marzipan, fruity. Taste is good, initial chocolate, then boozy fruits, boozy kick, touch of smoke and spice. Great stuff, lots of vinous fruitiness, really smooth and warming. Booze fairly well hidden. Liquorice? Sweet fruitiness. Very smooth.
