Small sample from tap. Poured dark brown, bit of white foam. Aroma was quite lenient, some roast malts. Taste was quite enjoyable actually, dunkel is not my favourite style but this one had nice roastiness and quite fulfilling medium body, soft and fulfilling. Nicely brewed.

Small sample from 330 ml bottle. Pours golden, clear, a bit of white foam. Aroma has ginger, sweet, sort of like ginger lemonade. Carbonation is high and you can feel it in the taste. Strong ginger sensation, maybe a bit of honey but losing to ginger, highly carbonated, so feels like ginger champagne. Not that bad but by far not the best ginger beer out there.

35,5 cl bottle @ VastActiv, BBE 05.05.2014Thanks mjs & baggio!
Aroma soy sauce, some licorice and a feeling of starchy malt I usually sense in bad pale lagers. Flavour has starchy malt, licorice and some ash. Feels rather watery, which is quite an achievement for a 7% stout.

Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were chocolate, sweetness, burnt malts and bitterness. Afteraste had chocolate, burnt malts and bitterness. A rather nice stout with chocolate character.

Pours pitch black with a bubbly head. Aroma of berries, light roastiness, some herbal earthiness and coffee. Taste is sweetish, lightly roasty with notes of berries, cocoa and herbal earthiness. Finish is smooth and slightly roasty with notes of cocoa. Decent.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Ginger and honey nose, light orange, bit of bready malts. Pale orange-gold color, low head, cloudy. Sharp ginger flavor, honey, citrus. A bit of a burn, though not overpowering. Mostly ginger flavor though. Prickly carbo goes well with prickly ginger. Interesting, though not quite beery enough for me.

On tap at Bungalow’s 2nd Anniversary IPA Event. it is made with Northern Brewer & Cascade. A cloudy light gold pour with a filmy eggshell white. It has a mild grassy citrus hop bouquet. A very bitter grassy earthy taste that is too bitter & unbalanced for me.

On tap at Bungalow as Crimson Lager which is what it was listed as at the GJBF maybe add that as an alternate? 5.5%, part of the Miyazaki no Mori series along with hyuganatsu & kinkan. This one is made with murasaki imo(sweet potato). It pours a luscious reddish purple, somewhat kool-aidesque. A sweet earthy fruity aroma. The taste is rough, artificial, sweet grape skins, chalky, a bit of a red wine type of tannic bitterness in the finish. Possibly also a bit of cardboard in the flavor as well. Not terrible per se but sub-par for sure.
