MugiWait, smoke and oyster shells? That is way too much information for my brain to process!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: the stout’s roasty character is layered with the aroma of smoked malt and the ocean-like nuance from oyster shells from the Ise-Shima area.
MugiIs it really okay to drink oyster shells? When I hear marine aroma, it feels like I’m about to dive into the sea!
Hop BroYou’re not eating them; they’re used to shape the aroma and mouthfeel. And with low carbonation and oats, it’s designed to drink smoothly.
MugiOhhh! So even though it looks dark and heavy, it actually has a surprisingly smooth drinking texture. That contrast is unfair!
Hop BroAnd the aroma progression is great too: smoky notes first, then roasted notes, and finally yeast-derived aromas that gently bring in hints of apple and orange.
MugiWait, a stout with a fruity aftertaste too!? That completely overturns my image of dark beer!
Hop BroExactly. ISEKADO is from Ise in Mie, and NAMACHAん Brewing is a Tokyo brewery known for smoky beers, so this is the kind of clash of individuality only that pairing could create.
MugiIf that’s on tap at Tamusan, detouring there is a sure thing. I want to go drink that limited guest beer right now!
