Hop BroSakamichi Brewing's new release in Tachikawa, the milk stout Mr. Bones, is out. What's more, it's being poured early at North right now, and the taproom should have it soon too.
MugiWhoa, even the name Mr. Bones already has me curious! What do you mean, a beer with a skeleton?
Hop BroWell, it's a milk stout, a dark style where a hint of sweetness rides on top of roasted aroma. It's often made with lactose instead of sugar, so the bitterness doesn't come off as sharp.
MugiWhat?! Does the sweetness from lactose mean it'll taste like milk when you drink it? I'm imagining something like coffee milk!
Hop BroNot quite that far, but the post says it has a chocolate-like thickness, bitterness from dark roast, and a gentle sweetness. So it's black, but not too heavy, and it feels rounded on the palate.
MugiOhh! And with 5.0% and 20 IBU, even if it looks dark, it might actually go down pretty easily!
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a guide to bitterness, and 20 IBU isn't pushing things too hard, so it's easy to enjoy the balance between roast character and sweetness. And the description of it as "iced coffee on a summer morning" already sounds delicious just to imagine.
MugiA beer like iced coffee in the morning!? The idea of drinking in the morning is a little dangerous, but kind of tempting!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the story behind Mr. Bones is great too. A skeleton who loves extreme sports and milk stout gives it character beyond the flavor, which is very Sakamichi Brewing.
MugiThat's amazing! A playful beer like that makes me like it even before I drink it!
Hop BroIf you're looking for a dark stout in Tachikawa, this is one to watch. Since it's available early at North and should be at the taproom soon, this is definitely one I'd want to chase down early.
MugiYep, I want to drink it too! Let's go while it's still in early release and toast with Mr. Bones!
