Bomber of Boomer, picked up at Schooner Exact a little while back, for a stupidly ridiculous bargain price for a 22. I was stoked at the time, and now, I wish I would have bought a few more. A muddy, reddish brown pour, some foam head, a sticky lacing. Dark fruit and bready malts pair nicely on the aroma. Some dusty, bready malts, bran, hints of dark fruit on the flavor, but mostly the smooth, cereal grains, with a warming touch. I like this. It's perhaps my first winter ale/olde ale of the season, so it adds to the fact that it's a memorable one. Hope this one comes back again.

Tap at Beer Brain. Nice enough, bit of resin, pretty easy going. Not ultra exciting though. Some creaminess. Bit malty. Not sure

Tap at CBM Koenji. Dark amber. Chocolate and light spice aroma. Taste is interesting, sharp hoppiness, dark fruit, but of spike, some caramel.

Most Ise Kadoya beers are American IPAs anyway. Good one, at any rate!
