Hop BroAt BEER OTAKU SPICE in Taito Ward, 808 Brewery's Shikkoku has been tapped. It's an imperial stout made with coffee and vanilla beans, and it's irresistible for dark beer fans.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Shikkoku already sounds intense! But when coffee and vanilla go into beer, what does it taste like?
Hop BroWhat happens is that the deep malt character is layered with the roasted aroma of coffee and the sweet scent of vanilla, and it even leaves a chocolate-like finish. It's not too sweet, but it still feels properly luxurious.
MugiOhhh! So an imperial stout is not just black, huh? The name alone makes it feel like some kind of kingly beer suddenly showed up!
Hop BroExactly, and the post says the beer's thickness comes from a long boil that draws out the malt richness. When you simmer the malt slowly, the toastiness and depth get much more intense.
MugiWhoa, boiling it down changes it that much? Simmering malt slowly sounds like some kind of culinary training!
Hop BroAnd the food pairing is strong too. They've got tuna and chicken biryani plus lunch-only mazesoba, so you can enjoy spice dishes and dark beer together.
MugiWhat is that! Having mazesoba too is basically cheating. You came for beer, and now they're seriously coming for your appetite too!
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too: 11:30 to 14:00 LO for lunch and 17:00 to 23:00 LO for dinner. You can enjoy biryani during the day and Shikkoku at a slower pace at night.
MugiNice, nice! Being able to use it for lunch or dinner is super convenient! People in Taito looking for dark beer are going to be really happy about this.
Hop BroBEER OTAKU SPICE is at 1-8-5 Taito, Taito-ku, Tokyo. The best part is that you can enjoy spice dishes and dark beer in the same place. Now I really want to pair Shikkoku with biryani today.
MugiSame here, I can't take it anymore! I want a drink right now and I want both the biryani and the mazesoba! Looks like we have no choice but to run to Taito Ward!
