Tap at Boku to Inu. Lovely shiny black with a thick brown head. Juicy malt nose, chocolate and coffee and a bit of soy sauce. Rich, malty flavor, chocolate, some berries and a bitter, tannic finish from the acorns. Interesting but would probably taste better without the acorns.

Tap at Dig. Hazy gold. Salty lemon nose, crackers. Nice tartness, lemony, salt, lactic acid is medium, with stronger bretty notes. Interesting. Pineapple really coming through. Good. More bretty than lacto.

malty, lots of green pepper in the nose. Mildly hoppy mouth with decent amount of green pepper. The bean is well integrated. Good stuff

Keyaki fall 2016. Grainy, fruit granola nose with a touch of roasted coffee and vanilla. More coffee on the palate with scratchy graininess. The coffee works pretty well, but maybe a little too one-dimensional. Peppery, rye-like finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of HsKWKF Collaboration Coffee Ale on 18 Sep 2016 at 18:57 - Score: 8

Keyaki fall 2016. Pours a hazy amber with a small finger of foam. Big earthy hops and caramel notes. Maple leaves with a slight twiggy character. Dry on the finish with nice bitterness. Fun fall beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Aki no Ogawa on 18 Sep 2016 at 18:35 - Score: 7

Tap at Keyaki. Cloudy pink-purple-orange color with lace. Not so pretty! Fruity nose, yamamomo, blueberry, raspberry, a little juniper. Nicely tart fruit flavor, spicy juniper, a bit funky. Bread. Very fun, tart, and tasty.

Tap at Gremlin. Grainy, granola like aromas with some dried apricot and raisins. Wheaty body with some more grain on the palate but slightly watery. Good fruit flavors with grain. Dry finish with some fruit. Tasty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Berry Much on 01 Apr 2016 at 20:08. Original review text: Fruity granola. Some lemon. Wheat orange. Slightly heavy. Not bad.

Tap at Transporter x Nakameguro Taproom Taiwan Earthquake relief event. Light caramel, peach and pepper on the nose. Average carbonation with a medium body. More peach and some apricot on the palate, some stone fruit. Light pepper and honey on the finish. Very nice malty British styled IPA. The yeast may have covered up some of the hoppy aromas in my glass. Anyway, not bad at all, just maybe not up to Zakkoku standards. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Door Into Summer IPA (夏への扉) on 25 Feb 2016 at 19:01 - Score: 7. Original review text: British styled IPA but nice peach and apricot notes

Tap at Wiz. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a one-finger, soapy white head. Aromas of orange, ginger and pear with a nice Belgian yeast character. Medium body with average carbonation. Nice dry and crisp finish with a lingering fruitiness. Some light pepper as well. Solid. --- Beer merged from original tick of Harvest Rustic Saison on 22 Nov 2015 at 15:40 - Score: 7
