Hop BroToday, it's about the March 17 tap update at CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE in Osaka's Kitahorie. The star of the show is pretty strong.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing "tap update" gets me excited! What’s the star beer?
Hop BroMinoh Beer’s Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, and it’s 9.5%, matured in Ichiro's Malt casks. It’s rich and layered.
MugiWhat is that! How is a barrel-aged stout different from a regular dark beer?
Hop BroWhen you age it in wooden casks, whiskey-derived aromas transfer into it, and the flavor changes with temperature. In other words, it’s a drink you can enjoy by watching the flavor change with temperature.
MugiOhh! One glass and its personality changes? That’s too good a deal! I’ll be on temperature-watch duty with my glass.
Hop BroAnd there are 13 beers that day, a broad range from lager to IPA. Pilsnerurquell, HELLES!?, Yamaninudake, and SPARE POCKET are all there too, so it’s a well-balanced lineup.
MugiPaperback Bunny with a Chainsaw is such a strong name! For a beginner like me, what’s the right tasting order?
Hop BroStart with a light pilsner-style beer, then MUGICHA BITTER, and finish with Rock'n Osaru IPA or the barrel-aged stout. Fried chicken and pizza make the pairing complete.
MugiPerfect! Let's spend the day in Kitahorie talking about a 13-tap conquest meeting while drinking, and finish off with the barrel-aged stout!
