Tap at Molto Stand. Just slightly hazy gold. Nose is orange / tangerine, bright citrus, sweet honey malts. Flavor is similar, with the tangerine standing out. Tasty, but relies a bit too much on the fruit.

I was hoping to try this so I’m glad I spotted it online when I put in my order. WCB Dark Crispi Boi 5% Czech Amber Lager Orange brown in color with a thick beige foam which vanished quickly leaving only thin lacing behind. It has a malty caramel brown sugar bun aroma, a touch sweet but not overly so. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation and very dry finish. A touch gassy but this beer really showcases the malts well with biscuit, brown sugar and hints of toffee as well as caramel with a lingering black peppercorn element in the aftertaste.

Very dark with a dark head. Very simple stout with sweet notes and light coffee. Not much coffee or roasted malt notes. Medium bodied. Enjoyable but could use more coffee.

Clear orange with a white head. Citrus, melon, light pine, maybe some floral notes in there. Medium bodied. Decent hop bite without being bitter. Solid brew but I think the OG Starwatcher is the better of the two.

The canned version I have says 7% so they may have changed the recipe some over the years. Mostly clear golden copper with slight cloudiness and a tall white head. Citrus forward aroma with noticeable pine dankness along with some sweet caramel malts. Medium bodied. Citrus and resin in the flavor with background sweets. Finish is medium and bitter. Lovely stuff.

WCB Curious Conundrum 11% BA Imperial Stout Deep inky black with the tiniest wisps of light tan foam. I’d say it’s a good example of a solid BA imperial stout though the cost is quite high (5000¥+) though I’m glad a friend shared it at a recent tasting. Better value would be to get two or three of WCB’s Black Book series.

Black with lace. Nose is vanilla, caramel, chocolate, oak. Whisky notes abound int he flavor, soft, low carbonation, vanilla, oak, Shizuoka whisky. Good, but does nothing to merit the ludicrous pricing.
