Hitachino Nest Real Ginger Brew
Tan colored head on a reddish pink beer with just a little head and lots of lace after.
A sweet aroma. Some honey and spice with of course ginger.
Rich creamy mouth feel.
I can certainly taste the alcohol but it has a sweetness that cancels that out right away. There is citrus and a honey like sweetness with ginger creeping through. This is nice. Very refreshing. The first good brew I've ever had from Japan.

Dragon Stout
Black with a thick tan head.
Citrus and chocolate nose.
Sweet molasses like flavor to start with citrus undertones. Bitter middle with a creamy mouth feel. Ends with a citrus tingle on the tongue.
Not bad but not great.

Dragon Stout
A dark tan coloured medium sized head on a very dark, almost black coloured, stout.
The aroma is quite citusy with some noticeable chocolate overtones.
This is a very citrusy tasting beer with lots of coffee/chocolate tastes. There is a hint of alcohol taste in the finish.
The carbonation is quite high and there is a strong sweetness which is almost overpowering.
The tastes change quite a lot as the beer warms, citrus tastes recede and then return again later. The molasses like sweetness stays the course and a slight and not very pleasant bitterness becomes pronounced and lasts in the aftertaste.
Not my favorite stout.
