Hop BroA new guest keg has arrived at Dining Bar Eflash, a beer pub in Teramachi, Matsue. This time it’s Baird Beer’s Yabai Yabai Strong Scotch Ale, and the name alone already makes it sound intense, right?
MugiWhat! Even before drinking it, the name Yabai Yabai already has so much presence! It feels like the beer-world version of “We mean business!”
Hop BroExactly. The style is Strong Scotch Ale. It’s rich and luxurious, with a thick flavor, sweetness, and a warming alcohol heat that slowly builds.
MugiSo because it’s strong, does that mean it has that warming alcohol heat? Wait, what does a beer feeling “warm” even mean?
Hop BroSimply put, when you drink it, you get this gentle warmth on the tongue and at the back of the throat. In stronger ales, that presence tends to come through along with the malt sweetness.
MugiOhhh! And the article says it even has a finish like port or sherry. That’s basically dessert in a glass!
Hop BroThat’s actually a pretty spot-on description. Deep malt character, a long finish, and a subtle acidity make it interesting because it doesn’t just end up as simple sweetness.
MugiI get it! So the right way to drink this is to slowly enjoy it in a calm bar space like Eflash, huh!
Hop BroExactly. As the temperature rises a little, the aroma and sweetness change, so enjoying the temperature shifts is one of the best parts of this kind of beer.
MugiIf I were pairing it with food, something with saltiness and umami would probably be great! Put a salty dish next to it and you could drink forever...
Hop BroNice. If you’re looking for the guest beer to drink right now in Matsue, Eflash is the first place to check. I’m getting the urge to take my time with this one too.
MugiI want to drink it too! A rich, full-bodied beer like this would definitely taste even better with you sitting beside me!
