Wrong again. Not a stout, more like a bizarre barleywine, doppelbock, freestyle mix. I heard it was kinda like a port wine, hence my pairing

Flabbergasting. Golden? No, it's dusky dark brown. Kolsch? Not even slightly, more like a Belgian dubbel/ bock hybrid. Good? Well, sure.

These guys do interesting takes on beers, though I'm not sure if it's on purpose. Organic, grassy, thick, bitter in an earthy way.

Thanks Raul. Aroma is fruity, sour. Taste has some coffee, lots of sweetness, toffee, sticky, Apple. Interesting, but not sure.

Bottle. Somehow weird aroma of pear and sweetness. Bit funky, decent fruity pear taste, something a little milky. Surprisingly alright.

Bottle from Hanadaya. Very dark brown/black colour with small golden head. Aroma is a bit Belgian, some sourness, lots of dark fruits, slightly roasty and some syrupy sweetness too. A real mixed bag. Taste is similarly mixed, initial sourness fading into something like a really sweet belgian dubbel. Quite fruity. Maybe a touch thin, but I actually quite like it for it strangeness. The sweet and sour thing is strangely alluring.

330 ml can at Kinyoubi Izakaya, Collingwood. Sweet grain nose. Golden amber beer with a thin white head. Slight effervescence, starts a little sour then finishes with full on caramel! Wildly sweet finish, really surprising. Late lingering sourness balances some of the sweetness. Not unpleasant but I don't want another.

Mine said "Aperitif" on the label. Same? Who knows. Not bad for a random beer vendor in the park.

Good for an outside local market with my gal Sal.

Slightly sour, which was nice, but not incredibly well balanced.
