5% bottle from Yamaoka. The nose is wheaty cloves with some white chocolate(think a white chocolate latte) in the nose. The pour is a dusty opaque gold with a thick head of foam which leaves spotty lacing behind. A light spritzy carbonation with chewy malts. I first thought this was made with a white chocolate extract but looking at the ingredients it said malt, rice, lactose, skimmed milk and white chocolate. The flavor is bizarre, very sweet and candyish, white chocolate, some white beer character and cloves. It isn’t balanced and gets somewhat cloying, kind of a mad experiment that just doesn’t work. Doesn’t seem to have any production issues or off flavors so it is meant to taste this way. Perfect as a girichoco gift(duty chocolate) they will know you don’t like them in that way...
