Got my 12-pack in, yum. Otaru Helles Gold with a thick dollop of foam with a soft, semi-sweet aroma with some peppery noble hop notes. Medium to full bodied with a sort of slick mouthfeel and good flavor of bready malts and soft spice with herbal hops. Rich and enjoyable.

330ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a tall white head. Aroma is tea, caramel, malt. Taste is medium sweet, malt, caramel, herbs. Light bodied. Quite strange.

300ml bottle from TBS in Moscow. Pours dark purple with no head. Aroma is cherry juice. Taste is sweet and syrupy cherry juice, very faint sourness. It’s like drinking cherry juice.

Tap at Beer Horn. Golden coloured, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, vanilla. Taste is sweet again, strawberries and cream, vanilla, little bit of grain. Weird, but nice. Surely this can't be the same beer as Tim rated? Nice though.

Tap at Beer Horn. Light smoke nose, ham, bacon. Taste is less smoky, bit of sweetness, honey roast ham? Lots of maltiness, more grainy the further you go. Good stuff.
