Bottle, 330 ml, trade with TimE. Pours brown with light brownish head. Bit roasted, coffeeish, chocolate, some lactic notes, lacks body. Smooth, simple brew. OK, could be much better.

Tap at GJBF 2016, not quite as nice looking as the Chatan Stout but it is a decent looking brown with a light beige head with a more potent tangy sweet fruity aroma. Nice round medium body, good carbonation with a semi-dry finish. The taste is fruity (stone fruit), dark chocolate. Not what I was expected as it is fruitier than most stouts but pretty good.

Draft at GJBF 2016 in Osaka. A mildly opaque gold with a big coriander (celery salt?)and mild citrus peel aroma. It’s a classic witbier. Light bodied and very crisp it drinks easily and tastes super fresh. The taste is light soda bread, coriander, wheat and just a touch of citrus. Decent balance, I like it. Best of the three.

The Kamikatz Pale Ale is a a surprisingly cloudy gold with a unique bouquet. It’s intensely floral and perfumey, so powerful it evokes a cologne. Nice medium bodied, an interesting biscuit malt character(Marris otter?) and that insanely potent floral hoppiness. It’s just too much, very different though.

very dark brown color. Light brown head. Sweetish malty with slightly chocolate nose. The mouth is chocolate sweet with some coffee in the background. Definitely more of a porter than stout. Medium body but a bit simple though well made enough. . A bit of lactose

light amber color. Big floral nose. Malt driven, excellent hop bitterness with some peach cobbler. A bit strange but relatively well made beer.

Tap at the brewpub. Rich, malty chocolate and sweet potato. not overly sweet, but nice balance overall. Dry finish, slight minerals. Much, much better than the last bottle, and the roasted sweet potato is a very nice touch. Bottled, March 2016. Pretty head on cloudy black beer. Dry, minerally nose, coffee, some chocolate. Dry and mineral flavor too, with cocoa. Ok, but a bit bland, and thin body. 5/3/6/3/11

Tap at the brewpub. Minerally and dry, not a whole lot of hops. Still lacking something, but much better than the last time. Bottled. March 2016 Nose of caramel, a bit of vegetables, minerals. Amber-orange, hazy, with lace. Harsh, somewhat extract-like flavor, minerals. Amateurish. 5/3/5/3/9

Bottled. Interestingly, mine was very different from what Tim had. This was a Wit all the way. Nose of coriander, esters, orange, clove. Slightly weizen-like esters, but the additives are clear. Cloudy, bright gold, lacy head. Creamy wheat flavor, spicy, estery. Rather sweet and just a bit candyish. Decent wit, though, and the best of their 3 so far.
