Nagahama Wee Heavy 10%

Apparently a 8-month BA version will come out soon but this is the standard version. Ultra smooth and malty with caramel and lots of malt character. Good smooth stuff.

Minami Shinshu/Ogna Cask Red

This was a limited 10L keg that was a deep russet brown with tan foam and a woodsy oaky cacao aroma. Full bodied and smooth this was a malty but pretty smooth brew. Great stuff.

Sticking with spooky season so I ordered

The Banshee - Coffee Edition
Latte Stout 4% 20 IBU

dark cola black with ruby highlights and tan foam. The aroma is coffee and the. medium slightly scratchy body delivers sweet coffee with a bitter black coffee edge.

Nice

Hop Idol Cashmere from Kyoto Brewing Company

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

KBC HOP IDOL CASHMERE 6.5%

Orange-ish gold with slightly rocky off-white foam that leaves decent lacing behind. The aroma is like believing Tabasco or sticky icky while the taste is a really interesting sort of candied pine needles and branches.

I think the only one in this series I’ve not tried is mosaic as it sold out before I ever saw it ;)

Apparently, 5 years ago they released a collab with the same name… this is definitely different though.

KBC Habakarisan 4.5%
Belgian Wit with Yuzu & Sansho

Nice matte straw gold with soapy off-white foam. The aroma has the Yuzu and Sansho while the medium to light body gives lots of peppery witbier notes with nice sweet Yuzu citrus. Enjoyable.
