Tap at Komachi. Spicy nose with caramel and citrus. Tart and citric flavor, almost sour, spicy too. Not bad but slightly too sour for me, although probably not infected.

Nice stuff! Sorachi funky chess and chive and plastic plus a bit of roast and choc.

Tap at Craft House. Orange-brown. Nose is cocoa, caramel, bready, orange, light fig. Toasty flavor, grainy bready, cocoa, with a herbal, slightly nutty finish. Quite bitter, actually. A bit light and bitter but all right.

Super fizzy fruity, but like sweets. Tart and juicy.

Tap at Komachi. Bright pale gold, slightly hazy. Thick head . Simple malt nose, grassy, lemony hops. Creamy, subtle malts. Fresh hops. Grass, lemon. A bit simple overall but no real flaws. I guess they kept the malt simple so as to show off their homegrown hops, but it ends up a bit watery.

Tap at Bungalow. Amber-orange, dark. Nicely smoked, bit of chocolate in the nose, caramel. Nice smoke flavor but the malt doesn't really come across as a dunkel--more like marzen. Nice though.

Tap at Crafthouse. Black and shiny with an off-white head. Thick and low. Nose is coriander, citrus, smoke, savory and meaty and a bit roasty. Very smoky and savory flavor, roasted too, with light citrus. This is more like a smoked porter than a Black IPA. Too roasted and savory for me to like.

Not sure I’ve had bottles from them yet, I usually get them on tap at Bungalow. Hop Kotan FREEDOMS American IPA 6.5% ABV 70 IBU Got this on sale so a bit past it’s prime. The aroma is quite fruity while the taste is more bitter pine. The finish is a touch too woodsy. Alright but I kind of wish this and the IPL version had been on tap when I had visited Bungalow when it was fresh.
