Maybe would be better fresher or murdered by the refrigerator, still good flavor but seems bit off. Like a mango milkshake but hints of bitter hop notes on the back. Oops.

750ml bottle from Tavour. Murky golden/amber pour, instant head subsides to patchy cap. Big fruity, tropicsl aroma, definitely mangoes. Taste brings the vanilla in, blending with lacto, rendering this a mango creamsicle. Minor bitter bite at the finish reminds you that its an IPA.

Capped 750 from Bine & Vine. Pours ruddy brown with a transient beige/tan head. Aroma of wood, raisins and something treacly. Call it full bodied. Flavor is musty oak, raisins, aged malt; it is sour, but not distressingly so. In some ways it is very like a red wine. Seems toward dry, but the raisins fight that. It belongs somewhere in the families of Deschutes dissident and Russian River Consecration - tho it isn't perhaps so nicely done as those, it is suggestive.

Capped 750 from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent orange gold with a short-lived white head. Aroma is tart and fruity - strawberry does seem to be the thing. Med body. Flavor is tart. There's strawberry that requires a time to appear after a quaff. It's woody and arguably yeasty. Dry. Sharp/tart rather than bitter. Let's call the tart moderate or a bit more. Mildly mouth challenging. Good tho.

Bottleshare @ Oedo beer festival, Shinagawa Intercity. Large growler-can, thanks Adam! Dark brown pour, not much foam on top, Good barrel nose, vanilla and chocolate, and roasted coconut. Soft bourbon, not so boozy. Taste is also soft, medicinal a bit, chocolate, light cocoa coming out in the finish. Bitterness lingering. Good one, happy to get a large serving.

Vanilla shake plus huge pineapple nose, I loved it, but vanilla is 90% of this, thick and creamy as hell. Lactose will be the end of me.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is juicy mixed stone/tropicals. Med body, even better. Flavor is sort of earthy/juicy with a lot of hop, some green/herb aspects in a lite way, and some barely detectable caramel. Juicily undry - milkshake like, maybe a touch of lactose, yet it is hoppily bitter, even a touch astringent in the finish. Really, really delicious.
