On tap at Craft Beer Bar iBrew Ebisu, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of sweetened coffee and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is nicely balanced, with coffee upfront, accentuated by cocoa and lactose in good fashion. Not exactly complex but the flavours are harmonious and well-balanced. Good stuff.

Nara Public Pleasure American IPA 6.5% 50 IBU This is their 5th anniversary beer with most being sold in kegs but I snagged a can online. Deep clear gold with a thick rocky white foam and a citrusy hop bouquet. The taste is pithy citrus with bright grapefruit notes before a slightly dank bitterness comes in on the rich medium to full bodied. Very much a fresh west coast ipa thatβs on point. Happy Anniversary! 3.9

Bottled, enormous thanks Miro B for sharing at the RBESG 23 grand tasting! Murky golden body, white head. Apple notes, maltiness, and a light phenolic touch in the pleasant aroma. Spicy, clean, soft, flowery taste, lean, dry and minerally, with very well hidden alcohol. Really glad to have tried it, nice stuff indeed!

Bottle at RBESG GT 2023. Feels quite... not nice. Phenolic, but unpleasantly so. Too much warmth, chlorphenol. Eh. Averageish.

Thanks Heitaro for sharing the can! Taster showing pitch black with a finger of clean latte colored foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of latte and cappuccino.
The palate is pillowy and soft with a very light body. Light latte with a slight coffee tartness and a mild cappuccino bitterness that follows with a light lactose sweetness.
