Can ordered from Ghost Whale. Aroma is fruity, spicy. Honey streak. Lightly opaque dark orange. Bubbly translucent white head. Light bitter. A touch of sweetness. A restrained fruitiness. Spice throughout. Medicinal, albeit that's not a criticism. Medium bodied. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Enjoyable. And, yes, it is restrained but that is potentially to its benefit. It remains drinkable.

300mls at Hashigo Zake pours a pulpy blood orange color with a ring of white head. Nose is stinky off the top, funky papaya, ripe berry trifle, paint, yogurt. Flavor has plenty of papaya and guava, ripe and smelly, yogurt and sherbet too. Full bodied but drinkable.

Kereru Paloma BA Barleywine 14.3% Deep ruddy brown with a huge gig & stone fruit aroma. Lots of bourbon caramel sweetness. Medium bodied finishing quite dry with a sharp bitter finish after a huge woodsy barrel seeet caramel fudge start. Nice stuff with good heat.
