ALE HOUSE Kamiya, a beer pub in Osaka’s Doyamacho area, announced a fresh tap of Kurooni Stout ~Kato SP Ver. from Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu. The beer is described as a balanced stout with rich body, firm bitterness, and gentle sweetness.
Hop BroBig tap news today: ALE HOUSE Kamiya in Higashi-Umeda just put “Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver.” on.
MugiWhat! Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. already sounds intense. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThis is a balanced stout, rich and flavorful with firm bitterness and some sweetness, but it still drinks easier than you’d expect.
MugiOh wow! But when people say roasty aroma, are we suddenly in a coffee science class?
Hop BroThat part matters. Roasted malt just means darkly kilned grain that gives you coffee-like, bittersweet chocolate vibes.
MugiNo way, if it’s rich but not too heavy, even a black-beer beginner like me could keep sipping.
Hop BroAnd Kamiya is known for craft beer and karaage, plus it’s easy to drop by late since the pub is in Doyamacho.
MugiWait, and they suggest a side-by-side tasting with Kamiya’s own Kurooni too? That’s two black demons in one session!
Hop BroExactly. Since the guest beer is from Noboribetsu Ji-Beer Oni Densetsu, you can compare body and finish and really nerd out on the differences.
MugiOkay, now I’m fully ready. A pint with karaage sounds like the correct decision for today.
Hop BroSame here. Tonight’s top pick is basically decided for me already.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want one right now, so let’s go toast with that stout!
