Tap at Keyaki Spring 2017. Oily, ugly, flat orange color, looks like honey. Nose is orange and peach, biscuit, pepper. Oily and peppery, slick, creamy and messy. A big miss on their first try at the NE style. Nothing works.

juicy apricots and mandarins in the nose, which isn’t all that bad. The mouth tastes like unfermented wort, sour lactic and rotten fruit. Some hops, but fuckin horrible. I was looking for a place to spit this beer out at Keyaki beer festival but unfortunately ended up drinking it.

Does not look very hazy. More like amber-golden. Nice fresh herbal hops in the nose, grass and pine needles. Sweeter malt character in the back. Taste is hoppy but not sure if this hop is really the best chosen, grassy and earthy, bit skunky. Citrus there, also herbal bitterness. I could drink it alright but not really NE style.

Bottle thanks to KBL. Big grapefruit nose, zesty, big fruit, slightly peppery, but mostly the fruit. Deep, hazy golden, low, thick head. nice malt and hop kick. Tasty. Not just fruit, the malt background is nice, and so are the hops. Bit of biscuit and honey. Prickly carbonation. Pretty nice.

Sankt Galen’s 2017 April Fool’s Beer: Namaguso Beer 5%
Inspired by an oddly named soft serve ice cream in Akita Prefecture - this beer label and name are freaking my wife out as the soft serve on the label and the name 生グソ could be read as 生クソ (Namakuso) which means fresh poo! Made with grape fruits and lactose this opaque copper brew smells like sweet grapefruit zest. Medium bodied, the taste is earthy, herbal hops, rough malt character, honey and sweet grapefruit. It’s a fun little beer in a quirky series.

33 cl bottle from Tanakaya @ home in A’dam. Black color. Big beige head, stiff and lasting. Aroma’s of roasted malt, coffee, roasted sesame, light (red) fruit. Retronasal there’s more to it: roasted malts, and then chocolate and sesame, but not overpowering, some sweetness, light fruit. Flavor is light to moderate sweet, roasted, chocolatey. Medium bodied. More roast in the finish, moderate bitter. Very nice!

Bottle at CBB. Big nose of sesame butter, cocoa, peanut butter even. Dark brown to black, a bit thin looking. Light body, great sesame flavor blending with chocolate and roast and some peanuts. Very nice flavor, body is a bit light. Would ramp it up to 9%.

Like other chocolate stouts from SG, this is fairly refined with lots of sesame and chocolate. Smooth and balanced. Good stuff.
