Tap at Nakanoshima Craft Beer Picnic. Muddy-ass dirty brown nasty, full of thick nasty yeast. Yeasty, malty noise, orange, peach, bread. Fruity flavor, peaches and bread, thick nasty yeast. This whole keg was like this, and it should never have left the tank. Big mistake. Hope they sort it out.

Y Market Brewing - Trinity Black 8.2% On tap at Molto. A deep reddish brown that is black in the glass with a tan head. It’;s got a fruity chocolate fudge aroma. The taste is bitter roasted malts, raisins, chocolate & pitted fruit. A bit less body than I’d like but overall quite solid.

Tap at the Gifu Beer Matsuri 2015. Brown-orange color, cloudy. Meaty malt nose, bread, caramel, chocolate, cherries. Dirty, grass hop flavor, peppery, earthy finish. Good alt.

Tap at the Gifu Beer Matsuri 2015. Lovely, shiny golden color, cloudy. Nose of white grapes and citrus, comes off a bit like Nelson Sauvin, crackery malt. Dry, fruity flavor, crisp, grape and citrus, crackers. Excellent use of the grapes for a dry, fruity beer.

Tap at the Gifu Beer Matsuri 2015. Nose of lemon, grapefruit, biscuits, a bit of diacetyl. Sweet and biscuity flavor, citrus but too much diacetyl. Still not really ready I think. Golden color, clear. Good recipe, they just need to get the contract system sorted out.

Re-rate: Tap at Craft Heads Y. Market Tap-Takeover. Same coffee and cacao nib notes on the nose along with some dark fruit. The dryness is still there but pleasant. The yeast really works well and the pepper plays nicely against the sweetness. Dry cocoa-forward finish that lingers. Solid. 8.8% ABV version on tap at Watering Hole. Big roasted malt and espresso nose with some dark chocolate with some dark fruit. Taste is very Belgian. The yeast is there. Very dry mouthfeel almost a little chalky. Roasty and bitter finish. Not bad, but again a slight slip for Y Market. --- Beer merged from original tick of Trinity Black on 04 Sep 2015 at 19:26 - Score: 7

Clear golden colour, white head. Hoppy aroma, straw, resin, light tropical fruits. Bitter hoppy flavour, straw and resin. Finish resin, malts, bitter hops. Nice.
(from 33cL bottle @ Let’s drink all of Rich’s American beers Tasting. Thanks for sharing, KansaiBeerLvrs!)

light body lots of hops very quaffable fairly sharp alpha acidity in the mouth. Longer bitter finish.

Bottle @ Drink Rich’s American beer, thanks to KansaiBeerLvrs. Dorée, col fin blanc légèrement jaunâtre. Arôme est fruité laissant pas mal d’agrumes, léger houblonné rappelant les C-Hops, ainsi qu’un fin rétro-nasal résineux. Palais est houblonné très frais avec des houblons américains. Le tout se termine sur une certaine sécheresse en fin de bouche, pointe épicée et tropicale.
