Draught @ Beer Belly, Osaka. Rated on 12.09.2011
Aroma of raspberries and vanilla. Almost no hops at all, hints of fruits. Some raspberries and much overaged strawberries in the flavour. Also some hops. One weird, sweetish berry-dipa, feels a bit like Amager Rated XxX, but a bit lighter.

Keg at the Japanese Craft beer tasting at the White Horse. It pours very dark brown, near black, with a thin tan head and soft carbonation. The nose is rice, charcoal, sweaty socks, coffee, liquorice, leather and dark stewed fruit. The taste is rich-roast coffee, charcoal, brown sugar, dark chocolate, toasted sesame seed, with a roasted malt finish. Quite meaty Imperial stout.

On tap at the White Horse. Big thanks to Doug, Jamie and Mark for arranging, facilitating and serving. Cheers Guys! Opaque black beer, residual tan head. Softish semi dry palate with a little prickly carbonation. Really nicely balanced. Dark chocolatey malt, trace of smooth coffee, not bitter. Nice balance of light orange hops. Sumptuos dark chocolate - coffee finish. Minerally freshness throughout. Softish finish with a trace of red fruits. Lovely! Another cracking Japanese beer!

Draught at Beer Belly. Made to help revive the beer economy after the earthquake, and get people to make it “bloom.” Said to be “not quite an IPA” but I think that’s exactly what it is. Very cloudy dark gold to tan with a low, thick head. Nicely fragrant citrus American hop aroma. Creamy honey malt flavor with grass, pine, citrus hops and huge bitterness that burns forever. Creamy honey in the finish as well, but it isn’t very sweet at all. There is some peach and grape as well as grainy pilsner malts. Body is creamy and smooth. Really nice stuff.
