Keyaki. Aroma is spicy, medicinal. Taste is weird, not sure what's going on, or why.

Keyaki. Smells of sun cream. Taste is creamy, bit of butter. Not sure these are things I normally look for in a beer.

Keyaki. Very murky. Strange, fruity flavour. Light bitterness. Very thin again. No aroma, but taste is a bit better than the others.

dark brown color. Good baker’s chocolate, bread, dark fruit in the nose. Too light body, a bit sweet and lacking roasted malt character. Smooth body. Some dark fruit. Pretty mediocre

CBS vertical tasting @ Tim's. Bottle, special Valentine's label. Dark mahogany brown pour with light red notes. No carbonation really. Coffee and deep caramel in the nose, malty and chocolaty. Taste is chocolaty, cocoa and medium body for imperial stout. Light astringency, something buttery. Smooth and not too bad.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Dark amber, light skirmish of foam on top. Roast rye bread in aroma, caramel. Taste has some sweetness, roast bread, actually feels a lot as a hopped brown ale. Fruity. Not so bad actually, weirdly liking this. Dark bitter linger in the aftertaste. Pretty good one, better than expected.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Light amber with a sourish fruity nose. Roasted malts there as well. Taste is herbal, light raw green sweetness. Not too bad but not really great either. Vegetable bitterness. Texture medium, kind of weird.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Pours light amber, hazy. Light toasted bread nose, caramel and burnt sugar. Taste is caramelly, some bitterness, herbal grassy but not really on "real" IPA level. Weird brew.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Light brown or hazy amber. Light roast nose. Spices and cinnamon. Taste is light, more of cinnamon there, light caramel.Bitter and herbal medicinal thing also. Christmas but not too heavy on that. Drinkable.
