Dining Dojo just tried a new beer from the Niigata area. It was a Espresso bottle conditioned beer. This beer highly resembles a porter in style. This is an excellent beer. When I opened the beer, the scent of espresso quickly permeated the air. From that point on, I was intrigued with this product.
When pouring the beer into the glass, it poured like a thick motor oil. There was a 2 finger mocha colored head. There was no light coming through this beer. It resembled a porter completely in look. Then when smelling this beer, you can definitely get the espresso scent right away. It smelled like a fresh brewed espresso. Also, there was a hint of alcohol in the scent of the beer. This beer is really drinkable. You will get the espresso coffee bitterness when tasting it. After the initial espresso hit, you will get a hint of alcohol, which I can understand since this beer is 7% ABV.
If you are fan of black beers like porters, I would definitely recommend this beer. Even if you are not a particular fan of this style, give this beer a try. Also, this beer is affordable. A 350 ml bottle costs around 370 yen (about 4.30 US dollars), which is quite reasonable for Japanese craft beer especially a beer in a glass bottle.
Cheers!!
