buzzoven (123), Japan Jun 22, 2008 Brown Porter. Poured smooth...smelled nice...aroma of coffee beans, roasted barley, slight chocolate. Medium-bodied mouthfeel with an overall smooth and somewhat creamy texture. Not too oily and well balanced. Slightly sweet aftertaste. An interesting brew.
Capa (738), Yokosuka, Japan Nov 3, 2007 Dark brown with a medium, dark brown head. Roasted coffee, molasses in the aroma. Similar flavor with plenty of roasted malts, and some chocolate in addition to the coffee. Medium, smooth body. Very enjoyable. IslandHaole (1028), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan Oct 13, 2007 Very dark brown with ruby edges. Small foamy beige head. An unusual scent that reminds me of cream of mushroom soup. Sweet malty front, candy sweet middle with a mild floral hop follow. Quite tasty. BückDich (4540), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 7, 2007 Sampled @ GJBF Yokohama: Dark brown, nose of light roast and charcoal, some cream and roast, chocolate and coffee. Sweet and full, lots of umami and chocolate. Good.
