Tap at the brewpub. Amber-red with lace. Nose of citrus, light tropical fruits. some caramel, and a touch of butterscotch. Fruity, lightly tropical flavor, a bit earthy. Nice, peppery, bitter finish. Good hops for an amber, reaching for Modern Times. A good start.

Tap at the brewpub. Nice Kiwi hop nose, Equinox. A bit pissy, with nice fruit: apricot, grapefruit. Clear gold with a low head. Crisp, clean flavor, crisp body, nice bitterness. Very solid.

Tap at the brewpub. Nice, roasty chocolate nose, coffee and cream. Flavor and body less impressive. Rather thin and watery, with some cocoa and coffee. Nose was great.

Tap at YYG. Deep brown with no head. Huge milk chocolate, cacao nib and espresso notes on the nose. Seriously a solid nose. Thin and watery on the palate. Flavors seem muted and a bit tired. Drinks almost like ice coffee after it has come to room temperature. Love the nose though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kabukicho Stout on 12 May 2016 at 20:32 - Score: 6. Original review text: Amazing nose. Thin bodied and watery.
