Tap at the fest. Almost purple in colour. Loads of fruit I guess. Nice. Blueberry, sweetness, but with big maltiness. Quite thick. Initially malty sweetness, finish has a bit of fruity sourness.

Tap at the Utsunomiya Beer Fest. Creamy, floury, malts and bit of sweetness. Like an extra creamy Pilsner. Nice enough.

Tap at Popeye. 2010 version. Clear amber colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity, steeped berries, spicy caramel if that makes any sense, popcorn. Taste is lovely, soft and bit sweet, hint of booze, but not in your face, toffee apple, Caramel. Dangerously drinkable for the strength. Hides the alcohol very well. Very much enjoying these Japanese Barley Wines at the moment. Lovely!

Tap at Bier Cafe Jan. Dark amber colour, small golden head. Aroma is caramel, quite malty. Taste similar, caramel, toffee, sweetness. Nice enough if a little unexciting.

Tap @ the source. Straw yellow pour, lightly, very lightly cloudy. Cereal nose, quite malty biscuits there. Taste has tart fruity edge, not so clearly from peaches but if the name is Monotaro then they just have to be peaches. Biscuity bready finish, light tartness lingering. Refreshing albeit relatively simple.

Tap @ the source. Dark brown pour, some light brown foam on the top. Dry roast malt nose, bit ashy. Tastes roasyed, some light berry sweetness, good body althoigh alc is probably not very high. Quite decent dry stout, nice ashy overall feel, roasted body. Pleasant.
