Tap at Eitai. Not too sure about the name on this one, as it made no sense. Nose is diacetyl, orange, leaves, tobacco. Buttery, soapy flavor, ok hops, grassy, caramel, butterscotch. Diacetyl ruins it.

Bottle. Pretty black with nice legs. Nose of brown sugar, molasses, cafe au lait, chocolate and some fruit. Flavor is less nice, thin, sweet, watery. Body is too light, nose was good.

Bottle. Reddish orange with lace. Huge crystal malt nose with toffee and butterscotch, caramel apples. Muddy flavor with caramel apple and pine, bit astringent finish. Very rough, more like a very old APA.

Bottle. Orange golden color, low fine head. Lemony, herbal nose, biscuity malt. Tart and spicy. Quite spicy and a bit phenolic, and sweet. Lemon and orange, wheat. Oily, silky body. Yeast isn’t quite right.
